ICADA Immunology Flashcards
Which type of T cell is located in the dermis?
αβ T cells
CD4+ > CD8+
Which type of T cell is located in the epidermis?
γδ T cells > αβ T cells
CD8+ > CD4+
Which type of T cells are present in increased number in lesional cAD skin?
CD4+ and CD8+ T cells
Which type of T cell is in increased number in nonlesional cAD skin?
CD8+ T cells
(not CD4+)
Which receptor do T cells have to recruit them to atopic skin?
CCR4
What chemokine helps recruit T cells to atopic skin?
TARC (thymus and activation regulated chemokine)
What cell makes TARC; upregulates it in cAD skin?
Keratinocytes
Are CD4+ or CD8+ T cells increased more in cAD?
CD4+ T cells
Are CD25+ CD4+ T cells increased or decreased in cAD dogs?
Increased
BUT CD25 is both on activated and Tregs, so confusing
T or F: HIGH levels of CD25 correspond to increased Treg
TRUE
Increased FOXP3 expression
T or F: CD25 can be used as a Treg biomarker
FALSE
Also present on activated T cells. But high levels are suggestive of Treg (with 2’ FOXP3 upregulation)
Which signals are associated with Treg?
-IL-10
-TGFβ
-FOXP3
TSLP causes activation of which cells?
Dendritic cells
Mast cells
Which TLRs induce production of TSLP by keratinocytes?
TLR3
TLR4
(NOT TLR2, TLR7)
Is IL-31 upregulated in non-allergic inflammatory conditions?
No
What are the 2 types of T cells IL-10 can interact with
Th2
Treg
List the Th2 cytokines, chemokines (10)
1) IL-4
2) TSLP
3) IL-31
4) IL-13
5) IL-5
6) MCP1
7) RANTES
8) MCP3
9) TARC
10) IL-10
While Th2 is crucial for sensitization and acute allergy, which T cell type may be more involved in chronic disease
Th1
(Actually Th17, Th22 per Fadock)
What is the role of Th17
Mucosal immunity
Autoimmune disease
IL-23 expression induces Th17
Th1 cytokines
IFNγ
IL-12
Treg cytokines
IL-10
FOXP3
TGFβ
Does IL-10 levels increase or decrease with successful immunotherapy
Increase
Along with CD4+/FOXP3+ T cells
IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, TNFa, IL-8 and IL-18 are elevated in cAD and non-atopic inflammation. T or F: these cytokines mediate nonspecific inflammation
True
