Adaptive Immunity: T cells Flashcards
MHC class \_\_\_ expressed on all nucleated cells Activates \_\_\_ T cells --> eliminate \_\_\_\_ pathogens
Class 1
CD8+
Intracellular pathogens
Calnexin
Binds to alpha chains of MHC class 1 in ER until Beta 2
Calreticulin, ERp57
chaperone proteins that bind to MHC class 1 in ER after calnexin releases it
TAP complex
Translocate peptide to ER for MHC class 1 loading Binds to MHC by tapasin
US6 and ICP47
Inhibition of MHC class 1 Expression: block antigen presentation by preventing peptide movement through TAP peptide transporter
E19
Inhibition of MHC class 1 Expression: compete and inhibit peptide loading onto MHC class 1 proteins
mK3
Inhibition of MHC class 1 Expression: mark MHC class 1 for degradation through ubiquitin
MHC class \_\_\_ expressed on APC Activates \_\_\_ T cells --> eliminate \_\_\_\_ pathogens
Class 2
CD4+
extracellular
HLA-DM
Binds to MHC to release CLIP fragment –> antigen peptide binds to MHC
Bare Lymphocyte Disorder Type 2
Defect in one of the transcription factors needed for MHC class II expression --> reduced number of activated CD4 T cells Death by 10 y/o due to severe infection
Bare Lymphocyte Disorder Type 1
Defect in expression of TAP1, TAP2 or Tapasin –> Don’t activate CD8+ T cells
Sensitivity t bacterial and parasitic infections later in life
Can use NK cells to fight viral infection but not efficient
DC licensing
dendritic cels need to be activated by CD4 T cells to cross present
Cross presentation
Dendritic cells: Present extracellular ligands on MHC class I Present intracellular ligands on MHC class II
MHC class 1 gene loci
HLA A, B, C
MHC class 2 gene loci
DP, DQ, DR
MHC class 3 gene loci code for ____
complement factors, cytokines
What stage does lineage bias occur for T cell development?
DN1
What stage does commitment to T cell during development occur?
DN2
When does beta chain rearrangement occur in T cell development?
DN3
When does alpha chain rearrangement occur in T cell development?
Double positive
Notch1
Cell surface receptor that determines T cell or B cell fate
TCR alpha chain gene
multiple copies of V and J regions + 1 copy of constant region –> V+J+ 1 constant
TCR beta chain gene
multiple copies of V, D and J regions + 2 copies of constant region –> V+D+1 constant
Recombination signal sequence (RSS)
TCR variable region rearrangment:
Surrounds each V, D and J region
12/23 Rule
Spacing of 23 and 12 bp of RSS
RAG1 and RAG2
TCR variable region rearrangment:
enzymes that recognize RSS sequence –> catalyze cleavage of RSS –> form closed DNA hairpin loop
Ku70/Ku80 proteins
Joining of cleaved DNA during TCR recombination:
Bind coding joint and signal joint
DNA ligase IV:XRCC4
Joining of cleaved DNA during TCR recombination:
Recruited by Ku70/Ku80 –> ligate DNA ends
DNA-PK and artemis
Joining of cleaved DNA during TCR recombination:
Recruited by Ku70/Ku80 –> open hairpin loop –> then released
TdT
Joining of cleaved DNA during TCR recombination:
Recruited by Ku70/Ku80 –> adds random basepairs to coding joint –> then released
Combinatorial diversity
V, D and J regions randomly recombined
Junctional diversity
V, D and J regions are recombined using random number of nucleotides
Immature T cell leukemia
Inappropriate expression of pre-TCR alpha chain
CDR1 and CDR2
Complementarity Determining Regions in variable region
Interact w/ MHC –> don’t want too much variation
Genomically encoded by V regions
CDR3
Complementarity Determining Regions in variable region
Interact w/ peptide –> needs a lot of variation
Encoded by recombination of V, D and J
CD4 binds _____
CD4 expressed on ____
MHC Class II
T helper cells
CD8 binds _____
CD8 expressed on _____
MHC Class I
Cytotoxic T cells
