cell mediated immunity Flashcards
mature naive T cells have
CD4 or CD8, CD28, MHC Class I, TCR complex including CD3, LFA-1 and VFA-4, chemokine receptor CCR7
how naive T cells are activated
how are memory T cells activated
circulate and activated in lymph nodes with help of innate immune response DC’s
B cells and macrophages activate memory T cells
activation and migration of T cells by DC’s steps (8 steps)
- lose adhesive markers,
- upregualte CCR7,
- increase exp of MHC and CD80,
- travel to secondary lymphoid- mature as they migrate
- present ag to T cells
- naive T cells cross HEV,
- T cells sample antigen
- cells that do differentiate into effector T cells with increase in CD4 and CD8
T cells that dont encounter antigen travel down to next lymph node become unresponsive- anergic and tolerant
what are the acessory molecules of T cells, what do they bind to, and what do they do
CD4 T cells helper cells- recognize class II
CD8 cytotoxic T cells-recognize HLA class I
CD 28 on T cell binds to CD 80 on MHC- signal transduction
CTLA-4 on T cells binds to PD-1- adhesion and inhibition
LFA-1- adhesion binds to ICAM-1- adhesion and signal transduction
how does integrin avidity increase?
- TCR/HLA ag changes integrin conformation
- chemokines act on integrin to change it from low affintiy to high affinity
- adhesion molecules cluster for immune synpase
co stimulatory molecules in T cell activation have these 2 signals
1) binding MHC to TCR— increase in CD40 on APC’s and CD40 on T cells, exp of B7 (CD80) on APC’s and CD28 on T cells
2) specific to epitope
activation of mature T cells steps and what does it produce?
1) formation of synapse
2) activation of ITAMs- major player ZAP 70
3) phosphorylated and acitvated by LCK (SRC family)
4) produces INF-ab and AP-1 and protein synthesis (transcription factors)
what are proteins produced by t cell activation? what do they do and what are they produced by?
transciption factors
membrane effector molecules
cytokines
cytokine receptors
transcription factors: c-fos, c-myc
membrane effector molecules:
- CD40- strengthens adhesion and prolongs contact
- Fas ligand
cytokines:
- IL-2— T cell proliferation- helper T cells— comes from actived T cells
- IFN-y- activation of macrophages— comes from CD4 and CD8 T cells, NK cells
- IL-4- b cell switching to IgE— comes from CD4 T cells, mast cells
- IL-5- activation of eosinophils— comes from CD4 T cells, mast cells, innate lymphoid cells
- IL-17- stimulation of acute inflammation— comes from CD4 T cells, etc
- IL-22- maintence of epithelial barrier— comes from CD4 T cells, NK cells, innate lymphoid cells
- TGF-b- inhibition of T cell activation, differentiation of reg T cells— comes from CD4 T cells, etc
cytokine receptors: IL-2r (CD25)
proliferation of T cells by IL-2 steps
autocrine signal
- binds IL-2Ra (CD25) – low affinity receptor
- becomes a high affinity receptor (IL-2RaByc)
- promotes T cell proliferation and differention
trapping and activating of naive T cells steps
- ag binds to specific T cell through IFNa
- increasses exp of CD69 which binds to S1PR
- signal internalized five days afterwards
- effector cells go from lymph to peripheray
What are the four different types of T helper cells, what cytokines are they differentiated by, and what do they induce?
all T helper cells defined by CD4
Th1— IFN-y and IL-12— macrophages
Th2— IL-4, IL-5, IL-13— eosinophil and mast cells
Th17— TGF-b, IL-17, IL-22— neutrophil
Tfh—IL-21, IFN-y, IL-4— anitbody production
**CD4 cells help to activate CD8 cells, cross presentation occurs
cytokine that differentiates one type of Th cell will inhibit differentiation of another
migration of activated Th cells steps
- activated in medullary,
- change CD4 exp,
- downregulate expression of CCR7 and upregulates CxCR5
- migrate to follicular zone,
- secrete cytokines and co stimulatory molecules, which help B cells present ag to activated T helper cell
- start expressing CTLA-4
T regulatory cells are what kind of cells?
influenced by?
express what?
they are CD4 cells
influenced by IL-2 and TGF-b,
express: CTLA-4, cd25, Foxp3, secrete IL-10 and TGF-b
they are the cells that shut everything down
what are gamma delta T cells? where can you find them? what are their responses?
less than 5%
found in epithelial boundaries, especially gut muscusa
ag restricted- limited diversity, can recognize non protein ag, recognize self and non self ligands, not restricted to mhc
responses are chemokines, cytokines, cytolysis, ag presentation, epithelial gf’s
purpose of T cell CMI
transfers immune cells to non-immune individuals
intracellular microbes killed by CTL’s or macrophages (phagocytes or nonphagocytes)
**serum cannot protect against intracellular microbes
major difference between effector T cells and naive T cells
An effector T cell is able to respond to specific antigen WITHOUT need for co-stimulation via B7 (CD80)-CD28 interaction!
