56-Effector Functions Flashcards
activation of T cells
happens in secondary lymphoid tissues
function of secondary lymphoid tissues
activate T cells
localize antigen to rare antigen specific t cell
entry of t cells into lymph nodes
through high endothelial venules or lymyphantics
CCR7
migration into T cell zone of lymph node
sphingosine 1 phosphate
high concentration in blood
low concentration in SLO
what controls migration of t cells in and out of SLO
Expression of sphingosine 1 phosphate receptor
move toward high concentrations of s1p (blood)
activation of receptor causes down regulation and t cells moves back to SLO
changes in # and phenotype of t cell
caused by infection
1-activation by maturation of dendritic cell migrating to lymph node and presenting antigens to MHC
2-expansion of T cells that respond to antigen
3-differentiation and migration to infection
4-contraction of cells after clearance of infection
5-memory t cells form
DC licensing
upregulation of CCR7 to migrate into t cell zone of lymph node which have ligands for CCR7 (CCL19 and 21)
CCL19 and CCL 21
ligands for CCR7 in T cell zone
activation of t cell
Requires 3 signals
1- from activation of TCR using MHC/antigen, needed for activation
2- from costimulatory receptors for survival using CD28 and B7.1 and B7.2
3-from cytokines from APC required for differentiation
what controls activation and differentiation
costimulatory receptor activation
coactivation of TCR and CD28 increase CD40L which activates CD40 to drive costimulatory receptors
Expansion of T cells
after TCR recognizes antigens
CD4 expand 10,000x in 10 days
CD8 expand 50,000x in 10 days
CD69
promote degradation of S1P receptor during T cell activation
keeps T cells in SLO
during maturation and expansion the CD69 is reduced so T cells can leave now that they have S1P receptors again
migration of T cells to infection
like inflammation but selectins are on the t cell not the venule
TLR produces TNF and IL-1 to activate endothelium
venule has selectin ligand, chemokines, and integrin ligand
t cell has selectin, chemokine receptor, and integrin
selectin=rolling
chemokine=upregulation of integrin
integrin=adhesion and migration
Th1 CD4
fight intracellular pathogens
release IFN-y to enhance macrophages, NK cells, and CD8
