Q

3 main cytotoxins released by CD8 T cells?

A
  1. Perforin
  2. Granzymes
  3. Granulysin
137
Q

What does perforin do?

A

Forms pores in cell membranes of target cells

138
Q

What do granzymes do?

A

Serine esterases that enter the cytoplasm of target cells inducing apoptosis

139
Q

What does granulysin do?

A

Membrane-perturbing protein that works with perforin and serglycin to form pores in target cells.

140
Q

How do CD4 and CD8 cells work together?

A

CD4 cells activate killing of microbes in phagolysosomes

CD8 then kills the infected cell

141
Q

4 steps in T cell development from bone marrow to thymus to periphery

A
  1. T-cell precursor rearranges its T cell receptor genes in thymus
  2. Immature T cells that recognize self MHC receive signals for survival (too strong of recognition and cells are also removed)
  3. Mature T cells encounter foreign antigens in peripheral lymphoid organs and are activated
  4. Activated T cells proliferate and migrate to peripheral sites to eliminate infection
142
Q 
If a thymocyte has weak recognition of class II MHC + peptide it undergoes what?
To become what?
A

Positive selection

Mature CD4 T cell

143
Q 
If a thymocyte has weak recognition of class I MHC + peptide it undergoes what?
To become what?
A

Positive selection

CD8 T cell

144
Q 
If a thymocyte has no recognition of class I MHC or class II + peptide it undergoes what?
To become what?
A

Fails to go through positive selection

Apoptosis

145
Q 
If a thymocyte has strong recognition of class I MHC or class II + peptide it undergoes what?
To become what?
A

Negative selection

Apoptosis

Function of this?

A

149
Q

Activated T cells use E and P selectin ligands to bind to what on endothelial cell?
Function of this?

A

E or P selectin

Weak adhesion of effector and memory T cells to cytokine-activated endothelium at peripheral site of infection

150
Q

Activated T cells use LFA-1 or VLA-4 ligands to bind to what on endothelial cell?
Function of this?

A

ICAM-1 or VCAM-1

Stable arrest on cytokine activated endothelium

151
Q

Activated T cells use CXCR3 to bind to what on endothelial cell?
Function of this?

A

CXCL10

Activated of integrins and chemotaxis

152
