adaptive immunity Flashcards
where are T cell produced
bone marrow and mature in thymus
describe the action of dendritic cells
present MHC to naive T cells
what type of T cell is produced if dendritic cell presents MHC I
CD8
cytotoxic
what type of T cell is produced if dendritic cell presents MHC II
CD4
T helper
Th1 is a type of CD4 cell what is its role?
activates cell mediated response fro intracellular pathogen
Th2 is a type of CD4 cell what is its role?
activates humour response for extracellular pathogen
Th17 is a type of CD4 cell what is its role?
inflammatory and fungal response
Treg is a type of CD4 cell what is its role?
prevent autoimmunity by regulating the affinity of T cell with antigen
describe the activation of CD4 cell
detects antigen using T cell receptor, release of IL2 which binds to its own receptor causing colonel expansion
describe the activation of CD8 cell
mature CD4 cells release cytokines, causing CD8 to bind to receptor on infected cell
name the 3 ways in which CD8 cells destroy an infected cell
perforin
fas ligand binding
granzyme
describe B cell activation
B cell engulfs the pathogen, expressing MHC II to CD4 cell, co stimulatory binding activates B cell causing colonel expansion into plasma and memory cells
what is the first antibody produced by plasma cells
IgM (pentameter)
what are cytokines
messenger proteins that trigger inflammation
what is the action of IL1 cytokine (2)
activates lymphocytes
causes fever
