Cell Meditated Immunity - Bowden (Completed) Flashcards
What organs are T cells activated in? 7
Lymph organs
What is the only cell capable of activating a naive T cell? 7
Dendritic cells
What cells are activated by macrophages and B cells? 7
Memory T cells
What is responsible for activating B cells and macrophages? 7
CD4 T helper cells
How do T cells enter lymph nodes? 8
Across High Endothelial Venules (HEV)
What happens if a naive T cell doesn’t encounter Ag while in a lymph node? 8
They leave and enter the next lymph node via a HEV looking for Ag
What causes proliferation and differentiation of T cells? 8
IL-2
CD4 increase (100 - 1000x)
CD8 increase (100,000x)
What is the maximum amount of time it will take for an Ag to be bound by naive T cells while in a lymph node? 8
Within two days
How long does it take for adaptive cells to leave the lymph node once activated? 9
Five days
During an interaction what does CD4 and CD8 bind to? 10
They both bind to the appropriate HLA Class (I or II)
Besides Ag binding via a HLA Class II, what else provides a stimulating signal between a B cell and a CD4 T cell? 10
(T cell) CD28—-B7-1/B7-2 (B cell)
B7-1/B7-2 also called CD80
What’s another name for B7-1/B7-2 activation receptor? 10
CD80
What are the adhesions molecules between APC and T cell? 12
(T cell) CD2 — LFA3 (APC)
T cell) LFA-1 — ICAM-1 (APC
How do integrins move from weak affinity to high affinity to stabilize interactions between T cells and APC? 13
Chemokines receptors change the affinity
What happens if a DC binds a naive T cell with only the HLA Class II + bacterial peptide? 14
If there is no CD80 (B7-1/2) to CD28 interaction the T cell will either not respond or become anergic
