immune system Flashcards
CCL19 and CCL21 in the lymph node
show molecules where to go
Leukocyte is the broad term of
white blood cells
when the tissue is damaged, immune system express…
chemokines
leukocyte express “g m” and “i r” on its surface
glycoprotein molecules and integrin receptors
endothelial cells will express a lot of receptors to catch the leukocytes :
P and E selectin
ICAM-1 is
an integrin ligand on the endothelial wall interracting with the integrin receptor of leukocytes
thanks to … the leukocyte is pulled down into the infection site
to the CD31 present on both the leukocyte and the endothelial cells
what does T cells epress to interact with the epithelium tissue ?
a receptor of ɑ4β7 interacting with MAdCAM-1 on the epithelium tissue
CCR7 receptor can bind 2 chemokines :
CCL19 and CCL21
CCR7 receptor is expressed on the surface of :
B cells, T cells, dentritic cells
Once binds with CCL19 and CCL21 it guides the cell to the right zone
G proteins are
signalling proteins
G proteins and CCR7/CCL19-CCL21 controls :
-contractions of the cell
-movement of the cell in response to a chemical stimulus (chemokines)
-survival or apoptosis
macrophages express a lot of
different receptors to recognize a lot of pathogens
when a bacteria binds to the macrophage it initiates the
release of cytokine as a response
macrophages specific receptor that recognizes yeast
dectin receptor
