Cytotoxic Cell-Mediated Immune Response Flashcards
Maturation of Ag-independent T cells occurs where?
in thymus; only stem cells from bone marrow
Thymocytes are able to present self-antigens to what cells?
CD4 and CD8 allows for negative selection
CD co-receptors bind to what?
MHC
pathogen-specific T cells are made by what process?
clonal expansion
what activates naive T cell and what occurs after that?
APC; proliferation
Langerhan’s cells must move where to begin expressing B7?
lymph node
only what kind of DC can stimulate T cell?
B7 positive
What kind of cell does not express B7?
Langerhans’ cells
In what area of lymph node is DC loaded with Ag?
parafollicular cortex
How do naive t cells enter lymph node?
blood stream
How are Ags delivered for T cells by activated DC?
afferent lymphatic vessel
CD4 and CD8 co-receptors function to do what for Th and CTLs on proper MHC?
concentrate attention
What is used as marker to count total T cells?
CD3
Ag recognition prompts what process in T cells?
clustering of TCRs
Activation of T cells initiates what process?
signaling cascade
