13: T Cell Activation Flashcards
What must happen for a naive T cell to become activated?
receive multiple signals from the APC
Where does the initial interaction between T cells and Ag occur?
peripheral lymphoid organs
How to T cells enter lymphoid tissue?
high endothelial venules
Th cell polarization
When Th0 (naive CD4+ T) cells are activated, they further differentiate into types of Th cells
Th1 cells
activate macrophages and amplify innate immune responses
Th2 cells
activate mast cells, eosinophils, and B cells
Th17 cells
activate neutrophils
What cytokines activate to Th1?
IL-12 and IFN-gamma
What cytokine activates to Th2?
IL-4
What cytokines activate to Th17?
IL-6 and TGF-beta
What cytokine activates to Treg?
TGF-beta
Co-stimulatory molecules
where CD28 on T cells bind to on the APC to deliver a signal
Tfh cells
activate and differentiate B cells
