Exam 2: Lymphocytes and Co-stimulatory Receptors Flashcards
Lymphocytes involved in innate immune response
Nk cells
Lymphocytes involved in cellular immune response
T cells
Lymphocytes involved in humoral immune response
B cells
CD lymphocytes receptors for CD3 found in
T cells
CD lymphocytes receptors for CD4
Helper t cells
Receptor for MHC II
CD lymphocytes receptors for CD8
Cytotoxic T cells
Receptor for MHC I
Integrins
Heterodimeric proteins that prolong and stabilize cell itneracitons and allows successful antigen recognition
Selectins
regulate immigration of lymphocytes into tissues (P, L and E selectin)
Lymphocyte Mitogens
sitmulate lymphocytes to divide
These are molecules/receptors that can regulate the lymphocyte function:
a. Cytokines
b. Antibodies
c. Complement
d. Antigen
e. All teh above
E. all the above
CD4 and CD8 are expressed on B cells and NK cells. T/F
False
Helper T Cells Function
regulate immune response
Cytotoxic T cells Function
Destroy cells expressing endogenous antigens
Regulatory T Cells Function
Control everything
B Cells Function
produce antibodies
Immunoglobulin Superfamily Properties:
- found on all cell surfaces
- none have enzymatic activity
- many cellular responses are triggered by 2 interactions between 2 different members of the superfamily (TCR and MHC)
TCR alpha/beta most abundant in
humans, mice and most non-ruminants
TCR gamma/delta most abundant in
calves, lambs and piglets
B1 integrins (CD29/CD49)
Fibronectin, laminin, Collagen
B2 integrins (CD11/CD18)
ICAM-1
Lymphocyte Mitogens
PHA- phytohemagglutinin, LPS- lipopolysaccharide, Con A- Concanvalin A, Pokeweed, BCG- Bacille Calmette-Guerin
Complementary Determining Region
a binding groove that comes in contact with antigen on the variable domain of the TCR
What are the signal transducing proteins on the T cell?
CD3 Complex: made up of 5 protein dimers (gamma, delta, epsilon, L, N)
*protein dimers
80% of T cell CD3 complex protein sequence
alpha, beta- gamma, epsilon- delta epsilon- zeta, zeta
