2.6 Flashcards
phagocyte with ingested microbes in vesicles (3)
CD4+ effector T cells (Th1 & Th17 cells)
cytokine secretion
macrophage activation: killing of microbes
& inflammation, killing of microbes
infected cell with microbes in cytoplasm (2)
CD8+ T cells (CTLs)
killing of infected cells
Discovery of Cell-Mediated Immunity: immunity transferred from
one lab animal to a naïve animal only by cells (T-cells)
In vitro test of which cells doing the killing of microbes: T cells transferred, but macrophages become activated to kill
subset of CD4+ helper T lymphocytes: Th1 defining cytokines: target cells: host defense: role in disease:
IFN
macrophages
intracellular pathogens
autoimmunity; chronic inflammation
subset of CD4+ helper T lymphocytes: Th2 defining cytokines: (3) target cells: host defense: role in disease:
Il4, Il5, IL13
eosinophils
parasites (helminths)
allergy
subset of CD4+ helper T lymphocytes: Th17 defining cytokines: (2) target cells: host defense: role in disease:
IL17, IL22
neutrophils
extracellular pathogens
autoimmunity
general properties of T cell cytokines
property: produced transiently in response to antigen
significance:
cytokine provided only when needed
general properties of T cell cytokines
property: usually acts on same cell that produces the cytokine or nearby cells (autocrine/paracrine)
significance:
systemic effects of cytokines usually reflect severe infections or autonomy
general properties of T cell cytokines
property: pleiotropism: each cytokine has multiple biological actions
significance:
provides diversity of actions but may limit clinical utility of cytokines because of unwanted effects
general properties of T cell cytokines
property: redundancy: multiple cytokines may share the same or similar biological activities
significance:
blocking any one cytokine may not achieve a desired effect
cytokine: IL-2
principle action:
cellilar source(s):
T cell proliferation, regulatory T cell survival
early: activation of T cells

cellilar source(s):
maintenance of epithelial barrier fx
CD4+ T cells, NK cells, innate lymphoid cells
