Q

From Naïve to Effector CD4+ T cell

A

Naïve T cells are stimulated by microbial antigen presented by dendritic cells in the lymph nodes and spleen
▪ Express adhesion molecule: L-selectin
▪ Express chemokine receptor CCR7 (selective migration into lymph node)
▪ Gives rise to effector cell

▪ Differentiated effector T cell
migrate to site of infection

Q

Th1 cells

A
Production of IFN-g:
▪ Stimulate phagocyte-mediated
ingestion
• Expression of lysosomal proteases
• Synthesis of reactive oxygen
species and nitric oxide (deals with organisms that escape the phagosome)
▪ Stimulate production of antibodies that promote phagocytosis (IgG)
▪ Stimulate expression of Class II MHC and B7 on APCs (amplify T cell response)
▪ Activated macrophages produce IL-12
• Drives CD4+ T cells to Th1 cells
(amplification)
▪ Same reaction: delayed type
hypersensitivity (DTH)

Q

Resistance of microbes to cell-mediated immunity-intracellular bacteria

A

inhibit fusion of phagosomes with lysosomes
• Escape into cytosol
• Escape phagocyte killing

Q

Resistance of microbes to cell-mediated immunity- viruses

A

-inhibit class I MHC-associated antigen presentation
-inhibitory cytokines or decoy soluble
cytokine receptors that neutralize cytokines (
-directly infect T-cells (HIV-CD4+ T cells)

16
Q

Di George syndrome

A

• Born without thymus,
lack T cell component
• Can fight extracellular pathogens but have issues with intracellular pathogens (viruses, intracellular bacteria)
-catch 22

17
Q

Th2 cells

A
  • humoral mediated immunity
  • IL-4 ,IL5
  • IL4 and IL-13 leading to IL10 production by M2
18
Q

Alternative macrophage activation (M2)

A

✓Synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins for repair ✓inhibit microbicidal activity of macrophages
(suppresses Th1 cell-mediated immunity)
-anti inflammatory

19
Q

Th1 up

A

Autoimmune problem

Internal threat

20

Allergic reaction

22
Q

Th2 down

A

Infection

Extracellular organisms

Q

Mycobacterium - Th1 response

A

Tuberculoid leprosy

24
Q

Mycobacterium leprae - defective Th1 or dominant Th2

A

Lepomatous leprosy

25
Q

Th17: inflammatory response

A
  • inflammation
  • defensins
  • extracellular bacteria and fungi
  • IL-17
  • IL-22
26
Q

IL17

A

•recruit leukocytes (neutrophils)

27
Q

IL22

A

• IL-22 important in epithelial barrier integrity

28
Q

Th17 defects

A

bacterial abscesses and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis

29
Q

Memory T lymphocytes

A
  • need IL7 to stay alive

- responsible for secondary response

30
Q

Memory T lymphocytes in lymphoid organ

A

central memory cells: rapid clonal expansion

31
Q

Memory T lymphocytes found in peripheral tissue

A

effector memory cells: rapid effector cell

32
Q

Clonal anergy

A

• Inability of cells to proliferate in response to
engagement with MHC-peptide complex
• Due to absence of appropriate costimulatory signal or inhibition by CTLA-4 or another inhibitory signal
