CD16 and CD56
What interleukin stimulates proliferation of NK cells
IL-15
What interleukin activates killing and secretion of IFN_gamma
IL-12
What cells are considered the first defined innate lymphoid cells
NK cells
What chromosome are MHC on/HLA
Chromosome 6
What cells express MHC 1
All nucleated cells and platelets
What cells express B7
APCs
What cells express CD28
Naive T cells
What cytokine induces Th1 subset
IFN-gamma, IL-12

IL-4
What cytokines induce TH17 subset
TGF-beta, IL-6, IL-1, IL-23
What do Th1 have host defense against
Intracellular microbes
What host defense does TH17 have
Against extracellular bacteria, fungi
What are the prototypic disorders of type 1 hypersensitivity
Anaphylaxis; allergies; bronchial asthma
What are the prototypical disorders of type 2 hypersensitivity
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia; goodpasture syndrome
What are the prototypical disorders of type 3 hypersensitivity
SLE; some forms of glomerulonephritis; serum sickness; Arthur’s reaction
What are the prototypical disorders of type 4 hypersensitivity
Contact dermatitis; multiple sclerosis; type 1 diabetes; tuberculosis
Role if IL-4 in type 1 hypersensitivity
Act on B cells to stimulate class switching to IgE and promotes development of additional Th2 cells
What is the role of IL-5 in type 1 hypersensitivity
Development and activation of eosinophils
What is the role of IL-13 in type 1 hypersensitivity
Enhances IgE production and acts on epithelial cells to stimulate mucus secretion
What type of hypersensitivity is myasthenia gravis
Type 2
What is the term for immature self-reactive T and B cells clones that recognize self antigens during their maturation in the thymus or bone marrow are killed or rendered harmless
Central tolerance
What is the role of AIRE gene
Stimulates expression of some peripheral tissue restricted self antigens in the thymus and is critical for deletion of immature T cells specific for these antigens
