final exam Flashcards
cells in outer cortex of thymus
immature proliferating cells
cells in inner cortex of thymus
mature cells undergoing selection
double negative (DN) where
subscapular zone of cortex
double positive (DP) where
inner cortex
single positive (SP) where
medulla
3 checkpoints in T-lymphocyte development
- Pre-TCR (DN3)
- Positive Selection (DP)
- Negative selection (SP)
where does each checkpoint occur (T-lymph)
- DN3 (subscapular zone of cortex)
- DP (inner cortex)
- SP (medulla)
Gene rearrangement in aB T-cells
B chain: 4 attempts, 2 clusters of DB and JB segments
a chain: unlimited attempts
what happens after B chain rearrangement stops
CD4/CD8 induction, a transcription starts
what rearrangement causes surface expression of aB CD3
Va to Ja
what happens at T-lymphocute checkpoint 2
Positive selection
- by APC or cTEC
-T-cell that binds self MHC molecule matures
-MHC RESTRICTION
what happens at T-lymphocyte checkpoint 3
Negative selection
-mTEC of DC
-remove T cells with TCR w too high affinity to self MHC (apoptosis)
-SELF-TOLERANCE
AIRE
displays peripheral antigens, show to T -cells to educate them before leaving thymus
- deficiency = self-reactive T cells
markers in early T-cell development in thymus
cKIT: receptor for stem growth receptor
CD44: adhesion molecules
CD25: a chain IL2 receptor
3 fates of developing thymocytes in cortex
- no bind affinity = death by neglect (apoptosis)
- Low/moderate affinity = positive selection/maturation to SP thymocyte
- Negative selection/apoptosis
How can a thymocyte leave thymus?
- right core receptor
- right bind affinity
- doesnt bind self-antigens
Thymic emigration due to what signalling
S1P (high conc in blood and lymph)
- up-regulated by CD4+ and CD8+ (enter medulla 7-14 days, upregulate CD4 and CD8 and leave)
TF that commit to being B cell
E2A, FOX01, EBF, PAX
checkpoints in B-lymphocyte maturation
- Pre-BCR test
- Negative selection 1 (central tolerance)
- Negative selection (peripheral tolerance)
Checkpoint 1 B-lymphocyte
pair w surrogate light chain (kappa5 or VpreB)
-proliferation and progression to L chain rearrangement
-test VDJ recomb of 1 H chain/chromosome
-ALLELIC EXCLUSION
-antigen-independant
Pre B-cell vs pre T-cell
Pre B:
- inhibit H chain recomb
-prolif Pre-B cell
-Stim kappa light chain recomb
-shut off surrogatelight chain rec
Pre T:
-Inhib B chain recomb
-Prolif pre-T chain
-stim a chain recomb
-Express CD4 and CD8
-shut off PTa transcription
Checkpoint 2 in B-lymphocyte develop
Negative selection 1
- immature B-cell
- CENTRAL TOLERANCE
- if no self-rxn migrate to periphery
-if multivalent molecule receptor editing and apoptosis
Checkpoint 3 in B-lymphocyte development
Negative selection 2
- PERIPHERAL TOLERANCE
- transitional B-cell
-BCR that recognize cell molecule can only undergo apoptosis (no editing)
No self-rxn what antibody
IgM and IgD
receptor editing
L chain rearrange give immature B cells in bone marrow chance to replace autoreactive BCR
Transitional B cells complete maturation in the
spleen
Transitional B cells in follicle
Enter follicle –> survival signal –> follicular B cell or marginal B cell
Transitional B cells not in follicle
Not in follicle –> fail to receive survival signal, die
BAFF on FDC/T1B and T2B
Stim BAFF-R on T1B
T1B: increase IgM, no IgD, BAFF-R
T2B: IgM+IgD, CD21
Formation and organization of secondary lymphoid organs by
TNF family members
B and T cells enter secondary lymphoid organs via small blood vessels called
high-endothelial blood vessels (HEV)
Delivery and migration of B and T cells in the spleen
- Circulating B and T cells delivered into marginal sinus
- marginal sinus enriched with marginal zone B cells - do not recirculate) - T cells migrate into T-cell zones (PALS), B-cell to B-cell follicle
- FRC and FDC - IN spleen antigen delivered via arterioles –> antigen taken up by dendiritc cells, transport antigen to T-cell zone
fibroblast reticular cells (FRC)
stromal cells of spleen
- produce chemolines to attract T cells from marginal sinus
follicular dendritic cells (FDC)
concentrated in follicles
- produce chemokine CXCL3 to attract B-cells
what attracts T cells into T-cell zones
chemokines by FRC
what attracts B cells into follicles
CXCL13
MALT
mucosa-associated-lymphoid tissue
- peyer’s patch
M cells
delivers antigens and pathogens from gut lumen to lymph
Naive T-cell migration into lymph node
- Circulating lymphnode enters high endothelial venule in lymph node
- Binding of L-selectin to GlyCAM-1 and CD34 = rolling interaction
- LFA-1 activated by CCr7 signal (in response to CCL21 or CC19) bound to endo surface
- Activated LFA-1 tightly bind to CAM-1 –> crosses endothelial enters lymph node via diapedesis
Naive T-cell recirculation through secondary lymph enter and exit from
enter: HEV
exit: cortical sinus
Naive T-cell activated by what and what is the process
Activated by antigen presentation from DC
-lose ability to exit T-cell, start to proliferate (several days)
-differentiate into effector cells, leave
antigen-specific T-cells recruited/retained where
lymph node, trapped in lymph fluid
Local inflammation stimulates (influx/efflux of lymphocyte in lymph node)
increase in influx, decrease in efflux
Egress mediated by
S1P gradient
S1P gradient
-S1P lyase enzyme production by stromal cells in T-zone –> degrade S1P
- no T-cell activation up-regulates S1PR1
-cell sense gradient = egress
S1PR1 and CD69
opposite rxn
T-cell activated by antigen (S1PR1 and CD69)
T cell activated
-upreg CD69 –> internalize S1PR1 retention
-eventually re-express S1PR1 as CD69 expression decrease –> eress
FTY720
cant be inactivated by S1P lyase
-inhibit T-cell egression by down modulating S1PR1 expression
APC in secondary lymph node
Dendritic cells
- ubiquitus, throughout body
-Activate naive T cells
Macrophages
-lymphoid & connective tissues, body cavities
-Activation of macrophages by effector and memory cells
B cells:
-lymphoid tissues, peripheral blood
- delivery of help to B cell by TFH cell
Steps of conventional DC in nonlymph to deliver antigens in lymphoid tissues
- immature conventional DC (in tissue) encounter pathogens, activated by MAMPs
- TLR signaling –> CCR7 expression –> enhanced processing of pathogen derived antigens & down regulation of non CCr7 chemokine rec & antigen uptake rec
- CCR7 -> direct migration of DC into lymph node: assoc with lower synthesis of new MHC molecules & expression of co-stimulatory molecule
- Activated DC in T-cell zone primes naive T-cells
Priming
first contact antigen-specific naive T-cells have with antigen
