Q

Primary lymphoid organs are sites where lymphocytes? Ex

A

develop without the presence of antigen, (develop, mature and replace old with new)
Ex: Bone marrow and thymus

Q

what is the thymus?

A
  • a lymphoepithelial primary lymphoid organ
  • found underneath the sternum positioned above the heart
  • composed of T lymphocyte lineage cells, epithelial cells, and macrophage lineage cells
  • site of developement and leasning self from non-self

Q

Explain thymus cortex, medulla and capsule?

A

1) Cortex contain immature pre-T cells (a lot of them)
2) Medulla contains mature T cells (learning place for self and non-self and storage)
3) Capsule= outermost layer

Q

PreT cells that are incapable of reactivity to Self MHC on thymic epithelial cells?

A

will die through apoptosis

17
Q

apoptosis

A

a form of programmed

cell death

18
Q

All pre T cells capable of reactivity to self MHC on thymic epithelial cells do what?

A

1) survive
2) proliferate
3) move on for potential future maturation

19
Q

What are CDs?

A

cluster of differentiation

*CDs are molecules on the surface of the cell

20
Q

B cells death is all dependent on?

21
Q

In the Medulla, all T cells express?

A

TCR, CD3, CD4, or CD8- aka single positive (SP) T cells

22
Q

T cells near the medulla that are strongly reactive (high affinity) Self MHC on thymic epithelial or dendritic cells will?

A

die through apoptosis

23
Q

T cells in the medulla that are capable of weak (low/intermediate) reactivity to self MHC will?

A

1) survive
2) proliferate
3) complete maturation,
4) eventually exit to general circulation

24
Q

Where are death domains found?

A

cytoplasm of cell

25
In order for apoptosis to happen, you must have?
1) interaction with TCR | 2) FasL (a ligand) interact with Fas on cell
26
the ligation of FasL and Fas causes
Fas to trimerise which ACTIVATED the death domain in Fas (which then interacts with the death domain in FADD)
27
Procaspase binds to? This does what
binds to FADD,which creates caspase 3 which ULTIMATELY leads to apoptosis of the Fas-expressing cell
28
death domains initiate the development of?
caspase 3
29
caspase 3 is?
a key element that leads to an event for DNA fragmentation for programmed cell death
30
is the medulla or cortex of thymus darker?
cortex
31
the medulla has a lot of? | *responsible for?
cell death | *responsible for adaptive immunity in long run
32
Cells stick around for how long in medulla before they die and are replaced?
21 days
33
T cells-site of maturation is in the?
thymus
34
two major T cell subsets are?
CD4+ and CD8+
35
What are the 5 subsets of CD4+ are
* T helper 1 (Th1) * T helper 2 (Th2) * T helper 17 (Th17) * T follicular helper (Tfh) * T regulatory (Treg)
