48
Q

Which tyrosine kinase binds to the cytoplasmic domain of CD4 and CD8?

49
Q

During T cell activation, hydrolysis of PIP2 by PLC gamma generates DAG and IP3. What do DAG and IP3 do?

A

DAG - modulates NFkappaB pathway

IP3 mediates Ca+ influx

50
Q

In T cell activation, where does the initial increase in Ca+ come from?

A

Endoplasmic reticulum

51

In T cell activation, Ca+ release from the ER activates what to further increase Ca+?

A

CRAC channel

52
Q

In T cell activation, Ca+ influx activates what?

A

calcineurin

53
Q

What does calcineurin do?

A

dephosphorylates NFAT during T cell activation allowing it to be transferred to the nucleus

54
Q

MAP kinase pathways activate which transcription factors during T cell activation?

A

Fos and Jun, which leads to AP1 activation
