13: Diff and Fxn of Cd8+ cells Flashcards
percent of CD8+ in blood
33%
B cells make up what % of blood
30%
what are CD marker for
number of T cells by fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry
where does rearrangement of genes for T cells occur
thymus
what is functional polarization
T cells take on a particular set of task that promote adaptive immune response as effector fxn
what can CD8+ become
CTL or memor cells
what are granules
lysosomes that have perforin and granzymes to kill other cells
secreted from CTLS
cytokines, mostly IFN-y that activate macrophages
what is the role of T bet in CTL
regulates TC of perforin
how does cross presentation work
DC ingest cell with intracellular microbes and produce both MHC II and MHCI due to phagosome in DC cytoplasm
what is it called when CD4+ enhance ability of APCs to stimulate CTLs
APC licensing
how does APC licensing work
CD4+ produces IFNy to DC then once CTL binds DC, IL12 is released to CTL
what is needed in APC licensing
CD40 to CD40L to up-regulate CD 80/86 expression for more efficient binding of CTLs
what signal do CD4+ provide for CTL
signal 3 via IL12 and IFNy
when are CD4+ required for CTL activation
weak innate immunity to latent viral infection and tumors
IL2 for CD8 means
proliferation and differentiation into CTL and memory
what does IL2 share
IL2R with IL15 and IL 21 at y
role of IL12 and IFNy to Naive CD8
effector CTLs
why are IL12 and IFN y required for effector CTLs
induce survival and development
what is role of IL15
produced by DC and tissue Macrophages for survival of memory CD8 T cells
IL21 role
produced by activated CD4+ T cells for induction of T cell memory and prevent CD8 + memory
how does IL2 work
autocrine loop for activation of T cells and up-reg of IL2, IL2R
CD4+ derived IL2 for activation of CD8+ via
paracrine
structure of IFNy from CD4+
homodime
what releases IFNy
TH1, CTLs, NK cells
role of IFNy
activator of macrophages to increase metabolic, phagocytic and killing
what does IFNy increase the expression of
MHC I and MHC II
what might be an important component for antiviral protection
IFNy making more MHC
