Q

Over the time course of a virus infection, what cytokines are released in the first few days? What are the first immune CELLS that begin to attack? What cells then take over?

A
  • IFN-alpha, IFN-Beta, TNF-alpha, IL-12

Q

Over the time course of a virus infection, in early-stage, what actions does the host take?

A
  • 2’-5’-linked adenosine oligomers and kinase PKR
  • Up MHC 1 expression, antigen presentation, and chemokines
  • Activate DC’s, macrophages, NK’s

Q

What is a T cell doubling time? How many cells can one naïve T cell produce in a week?

A
  • 5-6 hours (about same as B cell germinal centers, fastest mammalian)
  • 10,000

Q

What happens to an immune response without signal 3?

A

Some proliferation then dies off and produces tolerance (NOT immunity or memory)

Q

T cells exhibit changes in receptors when they are naïve versus mature effectors. What are the only 2 receptors that are high in the mature stage?

A
  • LFA-1, IFN-gamma (adhesion and effector) are high in mature, low in naive.
  • All the rest are low in maturity and high in naive cells such as homing, chemokine, and cytokines.

16
Q

Why are different receptors expressed in mature versus naive immune cells?

A

So they can leave secondary lymphoid organs & travel thru blood to inflamed tissues.

17
Q

What actions do T cells take against a virus?

A
  • CD4 & CD8 Produce IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha
  • CD 4’s Amplify Ab and CD8 response
  • CD8’s use perforin/granzyme and CD95(Fas)/CD95L(FasL) to kill
18
Q

Which CD 4 T cell plays the most central role in host defense?

A

Th1

19
Q

IL-2 is associated most with which cells?

A

-CD8s

20
Q

IL-4 is associated most with which cells?

A

-Th2’s and B cells

21
Q

T/F a vaccine is almost fully cleared by the body before the adaptive immune response comes into effect?

A

True

22
Q

T/F Different people take different amounts of time to mount an immune response?

A

True

23
Q

What happens to the adaptive immune response without Bim?

A

Contraction phase never occurs, and we are stuck with thousands of T cells. Bim induces apoptosis.

24
Q

T/F second infection of the same pathogen mounts stronger and faster response than the first time?

A

True

25
Q

What molecule presents on a T cell indicates it is exhausted? What cell contains this receptor?

A
  • PD-1

- Antigen-presenting cells

26
Q

Why does exhaustion occur? What is the difference between an exhausted cell and a normal one?

A
  • To prevent host self-destruction

- It won’t release as much cytokines and its cytotoxicity is reduced

27
Q

As T cells move from functional to exhausted to deleted, describe the levels of the following things:
-Antigen load, PD-1 expression, CD4 help, cytokine levels

A
  • Low to High
  • Low to High
  • High to Low
  • High to Low
28
Q

What happens if PD-1/PD-L signaling is blocked?

A

T cell is re-invigorated

29
Q

Signal 3 for T cell activation includes which 4 cytokines?

A

INF alpha, beta, gamma

IL 12

30
Q

The FAS/FASL killing pathway is done by which cells?

A

CD 8 cells and helper T cells

31
Q

What does BiM control?

A

CD 4 and CD 8 contraction
