Effector Cells: Cytolytic CD8+ T cells, TH1, and TH2 cells Flashcards
M2 macrophage activation
Noninflammatory cytokines like IL-4, IL-13, IL-10 and TGF-β
How do APCs decern different pathogens?
Lots of different receptors for PAMPs like TLRs.
Cytokines released by TH17
IL-17, IL-22
When does differentation of T CD4 subtype happen?
During activation of naive CD4 T cells.
CD8 T effectors kill their target cells by…
release of cytotoxins across immunological synapse
TH17 defining transcription factor
ROR-γT
TH1 defining transcription factor
T-bet
Cytokines that induce TFH differentiation
ICOS-L, IL-6, IL-21
Cytokines that induce Treg differentiation
TGFβ, retinoic acid
What decides expression of particular fate-specifying cytokines?
Recognition of different types of pathogens by APCs, importantly dendritic cells
TH2 defining transcription factor
GATA-3
TH2 function
Activation of eosinophil, basophil, mast cells
Cytokines that induce TH2 differentiation
IL-4
Cytokines released by TH1
INF-γ
M2 macrophages function
Arginase-1-dependent smooth muscle contraction, secretion of growth factors and non-inflammatory cytokines, production of polyamines from arginine.
Treg defining transcription factor
FoxP3
