CD8+ T cells immune Responses to Cytosolic Antigens Flashcards
Dendritic Cell encounters
exogenous antigen in circulation, it is endocytosis, processing and presentation en route to secondary lymphoid tissue
Dendritic cells present
peptide MHC class II to CD4+Thp that secrete IL-2
Clonal expansion happens after
Thp following IL-2 to IL2R
cross presentation of endocytosed antigen leads to
peptide-MHC class I on antigen presenting cell hence presentation to pCTL
Cross priming of
pCTL
pCTL interactions
CD2 and LFA1 interact with dendritic cell LFA-3 and ICAM 1,2
IL-2:IL2R interaction leads to
proliferation of the activated pCTL
Proliferation =
clonal expansion
Maturation from pCTL to CTL requies
7-10 days, IL-2 IFN-gamma
Mature CTL functions in
immunosurveillance
IL2R=
CD25
Processing and Presentation to CD4+ T cells starts with
endocytosis of antigen into endosome, lysosome fuses with endosome and enzymes degrade the antigen
Endosome lysosome vesicle fuses with
vesicle transporting class II MHC/invariant chain in vesicle and the lysosome degrades invariant chain
Peptides bind to groove in
MHC class II
Binding of peptide to MHC class I in
a vacuole and transport to the cell surface and then it is expressed on cell surface
