Abadie lecture 2 Flashcards
presenting T cells in the germinal center leads to …
crosstalk and reciprocal activation that allows B cells to be activated and differentiate
what can B cells produce after their interaction with T cells
cytokinesssss
-proinflammatory: IL12, IL6 and TNFalpha
-regulatory cytokines like IL-10 and IL35
type 1 cytokines activates what type of b cells and type 2
type 1:Be1 cells
Type2: Be2 cells
this will also produce cytokines
same idea as th1 and th2 cells
B regulatory cells produce…
IL-10
B cell depletion: SLE lead to….
-decreased activation of CD40 cells lead to decreased autoreactive T cells
-increased expression of markers of T regs
-this restaures balance of homeostatic T cell response
-shows that B cells play a role in activation of T cells
true or false: Anti-CD20 does deplete plasma cells and prevents the differentiation of newly formed B cells from becoming plasma cells
false
Anti-CD20 does deplete not plasma cells and prevents the differentiation of newly formed B cells from becoming plasma cells
APC and regulation of T cell immunity; break in tolerance; B cells are not seen as….
b cells are not seen as primary antigen presenting cells but tend to promote the expansion of the T cell response
APC and regulation of T cell immunity; B and T cell feedforward loop
-the break in tolerance in an autoimmune disease leads to huge proliferation of both T and B cells
APC and regulation of T cell immunity; feedforward loop broken; what is the hypothesis
the hypothesis is that the removal of these cells breaks the expansion and survival of these cells
APC and regulation of T cell immunity; regulatory T cell expansion
removing B cells will lead to regulatory expansion of T cells and cytokines that will further dampen the T cell activation
APC and regulation of T cell immunity; tolerance re-established; regulatory feedforward loop
this leads of autoreactive T cells
Be1 cells produce
a th1 like response so it secretes infy and il12
Be2 cells produce
a th2 like response so it secretes il2, il13 and il2
what is the difference between Be1 and Be2 cells
Be2 cells can’t differentiate into antibody secreting cells while the Be1 cells can
what do B regulatory T cells produce
Il10 and it can dampen the activation of effector T cells
what can plasma cells produce
-antibodies
-beneficial cytokines like il10 and il35
which type of B cells can produce inflammatory cytokines and what are they
-memory b cells
-il6, gm-csf and tnf
true or false; plasma and memory b cells do not produce the same type of cytokines
true
because they don’t reside in the same tissues
what are the 3 compotents of humoral responses
-b cells
-plasma cells
-antibodies
in almost all autoimmune and inflammatory disease you have production….
-production of antibodies against self-antigens
true or false: in almost all autoimmune and inflammatory disease you have production of antibodies against self-antigens which are all pathogenic
false some of them were proved to not be
what can anti-cd20 do? in terms of b cell depletion therapies for ms
-prevents the formation of new inflammatory lesions which shows a clinical improvement and it works
-rituximab is the most popular on the market
-removing the b cells allows for the treatment to work
atacicept treatment; what does it do
-reduces circulating B cells aka plasma cells and decreases serum antibody titers
true or false; atacicept treatment slaps for ms and why
it lowkey sucks
-in the context of ms b cells produce dangerous cytokines while the plasma cells produce beneficial cytokines
-removing the b cells=the patient will improve
-removing plasma cells=patient will get worse
study if mouse model of ms: they observed an infiltration of mucosal plasma cells (IgA+) into the brain and the spinal cord of the animal treated with excess peptide and they observed that these cells were….. and removing these cells the animal got….
proinflammatory
worse
true or false: plasma cells have a very beneficial role in case of MS while B cells are more harmful
true
