Cell Mediated Immunity Flashcards
What is the function of CTLs ?
Lysis viruses (obligate intracellular )
What is the function of T helper cell?
Activate Phagocytes by INf gamma to help it kill the microbe
Why does T helper cell activate phagocytes
Because phagocytes failed to lysis the microbe and this will cause multiplation of microbe which at the end kill the phagocyte itself
What will happen to the microbe in APC like dendritic cell after kill it ?
It’s Ag will be degraded into fragments ( peptides and epitopes) .
Epitopes are carried on ____ in phagocytes
Clefts (grooves) of MHC molecules
What TCL recognize only ?
Processed protein Ag (epitope) associated with MHC molecule
What is the Ag (epitope) binding site on MHC CLASS 1 AND MHC CLASS 2?
MHC CLASS 1 between alpha 1 and alpha 2.
MHC CLASS 2 between alpha 1 and beta 1
Name the cells that increase phagocytosis ability of phagocytes cells in innate immunity and adaptive immunity
Innate immunity is NK cells
Adaptive immunity is T helper cell
What is positive selection?
T Cell expressing TCR that recognize self MHC Molecule are selected to survive
If they doesn’t recognize they will be killed
What will happen to a t cell recognize self MHC molecules?
It will survive
In negative selection , what we call a t cell expressing TCR that recognize self peptide ? And what will happen to it?
Self reactive clones, and it is killed by apoptosis
If t cell expressing TCR recognize self peptide are not apoptosised it will cause
Autoimmune reaction
Which of the following t cells are released from thymus ?
Those recognize foreign (not self) Ag on associated with self (not foreign) MHC
A man who’s thymus in negative selection failed , what will happen to him?
Autoimmune reaction
What we call a t cell that mature before encountering Ag
Naiive
TCR ( t cell receptor) formed of alpha and beta polypeptide chain , each one contain 2 constant regions and 2 variable regions , name its functions
Constant region: attached to cell membrane
Variable regions: recognize
# specific peptide Ag (epitope)
# part of MHC molecules
Each t cell clone expresses TCR specific for 1 Ag (epitope)
True or False
True
What is epitope( antigenic determinant)
The smallest biochemical unit of Ag that bind specifically with Ag receptor on B and T lymphocytes
What does B and T lymphocytes only recognize?
Epitope
Name the cells that process exogenous Ag into epitopes
MQ , dendritic , B cell
What is the steps of CD4+ t helper cells activation in 2ry lymphoid organs
Step 1: TCR recognize its specific Ag (epitope) presented on MHC CLASS 2 Mol
Step 2: CD4 (coreceptor) interacts with MHC mol class 2 –> stabilizes interaction of TCR with its specific Ag.
Step 3: CD3 transmitts intracellular activation signal
What is the function of CD3 in t cells?
Signal transduction
