16
Q

Type 1 response

A

-intracellular pathogens inducing cell-mediated immunity

>most viruses, some bacteria and fungi

17
Q

Type 2 reponses

A
  • pathogens inducing humoral immunity

- particullarly extracellular parasites (ex. worms)

18
Q

cytokines can achieve TH1/TH2 helper subset cross-regulation

A
  • IFN-gamma
  • IL-4
  • IL-10
19
Q

IFN-gamma

A 
-from TH1 responses inhibit IgG1/IgE class switching
>a common TH2 induced response
20
Q

IL-4

A

-from TH2 responses inhibits production of IgG2alpha

>a common TH1-induced response

21
Q

IL-10

A

-from TH2 responses inhibit TH1 responses by suppressing the production of inflammatory mediators from APCs

22
Q

master regulators

A
  • commit T-cells to one subset or the other
  • T-Beta
  • GATA-3
23
Q

T-Bet

A

-suppressess TH2 pathway gene expression

24
Q

GATA3

A

-suppresses TH1 pathway gene expression

25
Q

TFH cells provide

A
  • wide range of help to B-cells
  • required for germinal centre formation
  • provide signals that drive affinity maturation
  • enhance B-cell class switching
26
Q

helper T-cells commitment to a lineage

A
  • early in differentiation TH subpopulations may be able to shift
  • fluidity makes definitive establishment of helper cell lineages difficult
27
Q

genetic differences in subset differentiation potential

A 
-may lead to different outcomes
>leprosy
>HIV
>reduced TH1 responses
>TH17 for controlling infections
28
Q

tuberculoid leprosy

A

-stimulates TH1 responses with high levels of IL-2, IFN-gamma and LT-alpha

29
Q

lepromatous leprosy

A

-stimulates TH2 responses with high levels of IL-4, IL-5 and IL-10 from other subsets inducing Treg cells
>not as effective at clearing disease

30
Q

reduced TH1 response

A
  • due to virally produced IL-10 homolog in EBV infections

- confers a survival advantage

31
Q

HIV progression

A
  • to AIDS

- possibly influenced by a shift from TH1 to TH2 responses over time

32
Q

differences in surface protein expression

A
  • between naive, effector and memory T-cells

- subsets differentiated by expression of certain cell surface markers

33
Q

T-cell memory types

A
  • TCM
  • TEM
  • TRM
  • distinguished by locale and commitment to effector function
34
Q

TCM cells

A
  • central memory T-cells
  • reside in/travel between secondary lymphoid tissues
  • live longer/divide more times than TEM cells
  • rapidly reactivated by second Ag exposure
  • can differentiate into several subsets depending on cytokine environment
35
Q

TEM cells

A
  • effector memory T-cells
  • travel to/between tertiary tissues
  • contribute better to first-line defenses
  • shift right back into effector functions on second Ag exposure
36
Q

TRM cells

A
  • permanent residents of perviously infected tissue
  • respond upon reinfection
  • CD8+ TRM found in multiple tissues
37
Q

when do memory cells arise?

A
  • early in immune response (3 days)
  • TCM before TEM
  • TEM derived from fully differentiated effector cells
  • arise from assymetrical division of activated T-cells
  • self-renewing memory SC populations may be generated during T-cell activation
38
Q

CD4+ vs CD8+ memory T-cells

A

-more CD8 than CD4
>proliferate more during their responses
>due to differences in life span (CD4) are shorter lived

39
Q

memory cells maintained for years?

A
  • seems to depend on cytokine input to induce occasional cell divisions
  • IL-17 and IL-15 appear important to homeostatic proliferation
