6 Antigen Presenting Cells Flashcards
* Describe and sequence the trafficking of T cells, and the role of adhesion molecules in this process * Describe and distinguish the three types of antigen presenting cells * Describe and sequence the process of T cell activation and the development of the different types of armed effector T cells
What are the three types of Antigen Presenting Cells?
Dendritic Cells
Macrophages
B Cells
Where does activation of naive T cells exclusively occur?
Secondary Lymph
What two signals are required for T cell activation?
MHC:peptide
B7 binding to CD28 (costimulation)
What class of immune cell only expresses B7 signal?
APCs
What are lectins that bind to carbohydrates?
Selectins
What are mucin like vascular addressins?
Adhesion molecules that target carbohydrates
What is an example of an integrin?
LFA- (lymphocyte function adhesion molecule 1)
What are targets for integrin binding?
Immunoglobulin superfamily receptors
ICAMs, CD2, LFA3
What do naive T cells depend on to bind to endothelial walls?
CD34 on endothelium to bind to
What binds to CD34 on high endothelial walls?
L-selectin
What is the first adhesive molecule pairing to occur in Naive T cell diapedesis?
GlyCAM1 and CD34
What is the second, tightening, adhesive molecule paring to occur in Naive T cell diapedesis?
LFA1 binding to ICAM1 on endothelium (cytokine activated)
What is diapedesis?
Lymphocyte movement from blood into lymph
Where do activated T cells go?
Inflammatory sites
Why do we not want activated T cells in secondary lymph?
They will destroy good tissue
