Q

Steps of conventional DC in nonlymph to deliver antigens in lymphoid tissues

Q

Primary vs. secondary immune response: antibody affinity

A

Primary: lower
Secondary: higher

117
Q

Models of memory T-cell development

A
  1. Linear model
    -memory T-cells arise from effector T-cells as primary immune response subsides
  2. Branching model
    -antigen-activated naive T cells give rise to daughter cell that commits to either effector or memory

Q

smallpox eradicated in

A

1980

119
Q

central vs effector memory cell

A

central: express CD62L and CCR7, circulate through lymph tissue

effector: lack, migrate to nonlymph

120
Q

CD62L

A

selectin for migration to lymph nodes

121
Q

CCR7

A

chemokine receptor, help move to lymph nodes
-naive, TCM

122
Q

CD45RA

A

marker for naive, in lymph nodes, Treceptor signal

123
Q

CD45RO

A

marker for memory effector T cells

124
Q

BCl-2

A

prevents apoptosis, survival signal
-TCM,TEM,TRM,naive

125
Q

Migratory patterns of each memory T-cell

A

Naive: efferent lymph, CCR7, passes T-cell zone

TCM: blood, T-cell zone of SLO and lymph

TEM: everywhere
-nonlymph: lymph, lymphnodes, blood
-some remain in blood circulation, migrate through spleen

TRM: dont recirculate, confined to 1 tissue

126
Q

Long-term survival of memory T-cells depends on

A

IL-7 and IL-15

127
Q

Naive T-cell needs what to survive

A

need survival signal and contact with self-peptide:self MHC complexes to survive

128
Q

What happens when naive encounter antigen

A

most become effector cells –> some become long-lie memory cells –> need IL-17
