Cytokines, CDs, and abbreviations Flashcards
IL-12
Heterodimer
produced by dendritic cells
activates NK cells and Th1
IL-23
heterodimer
IL-27
Heterodimer
IL-35
Heterodimer
p40
common signaling peptide for IL-12 and IL-23
IL-2
Th1 cytokine cell mediated response DTH (delay-type hypersensitivity) decreased by cAMP required for CD8+ development
IFN-gamma
Th1 cytokine cell mediated response inhibits Th2 CTL (Tc1) generation NK cells are an important source of IFN-gamma. increase macrophages
IL-4
Th2 cytokine
Humoral/B cell response
Antagonized IFN-gamma
shares a gamma chain with IL-7, IL-9, IL-15
Promotes class switching to IgG1 and IgE (T cells influence the class of the B cell)
IL-5
Th2 cytokine
Humoral/B cell response
IL-10
Th2 cytokine
Humoral/B cell response
Indirectly inhibits IFN-gamma and IL-2
Also a Treg soluble cytokine
IL-17
Th17 cytokine
inflammation
cross-regulates Treg
gp130
signal transducing peptide for IL-6, IL-11, CTNF, LIF
JAK
Janis Kinase
kinase found on cytokine receptors (hematopoeitic, interferon, and GPCRs)
STAT
phosphrylated by JAKs
transcription factor that sends the cytokine message intracellularly
T-bet
Th1 Transcription factor
GATA-3
Th2 Transcription factor
RORgammaT
Th17 Transcription factor
FOXP3
Treg Transcription factor
Treg cells take a lot of IL-2, used to decrease T cell activation
ERK, p38, JNK
MAP kinase effector molecules
cause inflammation
CD3
6 polypeptide complex that associates with TCRs to transduce intracellular signal
Has ITAMs with ZAP-70
activated/phosphrylated by p56lck
RSS
recombination specific sequences
flag sites for splicing/recombination in the variable heavy/light chains.
12bp sequence always pairs with a 23bp sequence
RAG1 & RAG2
recombination activating genes
only expressed in B or T cells
part of the V(D)J recombinase enzyme used for recombining spliced variable regions.
CDR
complementarity determining regions.
segments of the BCR variable region that undergo somatic hypermutation to become more specific to a given antigen.
AID
Activation induced adenosine deaminase cuts S regions of the constant heavy chain for class switching (IgA, IgG, IgE, etc.) Also involved in somatic hypermutation of CDRs in variable BCR regions.
B220
on the surface of lymphoid progenitors that are destined to be B cells
Ig alpha/beta
complex associated with the BCR to transduce signals.
Uses ITAMs
Syk
Mechanism of B cell intracellular signaling
A src family tyrosine kinase
phospharylated by ITAMs
Syk -> BLK -> PLCgamma2 + Btk -> NFkB
CD40
costimulatory molecule on B cells, for B cell activation
CD40 Ligand
costimulatory molecule on T cells for B cell activation
