Chapter 5 T Cell Mediated Immunity- Activation of T cells Flashcards
describe the induction and effector phases of cell mediated immunity
- induction of response
- antigen recognition in lymphoid organs
- T cell expansion and differentiation
- Differentiated effector T cells enter circulation
- migration of effector T cells and other leukocytes to site of antigen
- effector T cells encounter antigens in peripheral tissues
- activation of effector T cells
- T cells effector functions
what are the effector functions of T cells
- leukocyte activation: phagocytosis and killing of microbes
- CTL killing of infected cell
what are the steps in the activation of T lymphcytes
-antigen recognition
- cytokine secretion and cytokine receptor expression
- proliferation
- differentiation
- effector functions
what are the effector functions of T lymphocytes
- CD4+: activation of macrophages, B cells, other cells
- CD8+: killing of infected “target cells”; macrophage activation
what do adhesion molecules do
stabilized T cells binding to APCs
what is LFA-1
an integrin protein
what is ICAM-1
a ligand
explain the role of costimulation in T cell activation
activation of APCs by microbes causes an innate immune response using B7 and CD28 causes T cell proliferation and differentiation
what are inhibitory receptors necessary for
limiting/terminating immune responses
what are the inhibitory receptors
- B7 and CD28
APCs that engulf virus infected cells and are infected themselves will have antigens presented by _______
both class I and II MHC molecules
in the case of APCs that engluf virus infected cells and are infected themselves which is activated first: CD4+ or CD8+
CD4+ activates the CD8+ T cell
what is calcineurin neutralized by
cyclosporine
what is Akt, mTOR neutralized by
rapamycin
what is the principal function of IL-2
survival and proliferation of antigen specific T cells
