Q

Tell me about dendritic cell maturation.

A

Immature DC encounters pathogens and are activated by PAMPs

TLR signals CCR7

CCR7 directs migration into lymphoid tissues - CCR7 binds CCL19 and CCL21

Now mature DC in T cell zone of lymph tissues primes naive T cells

Q

What are the two ways to activate naive CD8 T cells?

A

Dendritic cells infected with some types of virus can activate a naive virus-specific T cell on their own
—IL-2 is the driver of CD8’s own proliferation and differentiation

Dendritic cells infected with some viruses need help to activate a naive virus-specific CD8 T cell
—IL-2 is that helper from CD4 and that drives proliferation and differentiation of CD8
