immunity (quiz 9) Flashcards
1st step of immune response
neutrophils and macrophages recognize PAMPs on foreign bodies via PRR
invaders are destroyed by phagocytosis or inflammation
upon failure, adaptive immune system is “recruited”
2nd step of immune response
DCs take up antigen and bring to lymph nodes for presentation to adaptive immune system
3rd step of immune response
DCs present antigen to T-cells
4th step of immune response
T/B-cells leave lymph nodes and travel to infection sites
CD8 T-cells go kill
CD4 T-cells prime more T/B-cells for immune response
PAMP
PRR
DC
MHC Class 1
CD8; cytotoxic T-cells
MHC Class II
CD4; helper T-cells
Post-infection
Regulatory T-cells and suppressive cytokines stop inflammation and immune response
Memory T/B-cells are created (adaptive immunity)
“hot” tumor
immune cells recognize tumor as enemy; eliminates
“cold” tumor
immune cells do not recognize tumor; allows for tumor growth
cold immunotherapy
adoptive t-cell transfer, boosting immune response, vaccines
step 1 of immunoediting
tumor becomes invisible;
MHC class I goes down,
co stimulatory molecules decrease
step 2 of immunoediting
cancer cells resist apoptosis;
anti-apoptotic proteins (Bcl-2) raise
P53 lowers
Fas lowers
step 3 of immunoediting
begin to kill immune cells;
fasL goes up
TRAIL goes up
step 4 of immunoediting
suppresses immune sys;
secretes variety of different factors
exploits immune checkpoints
step 5 of immunoediting
sabotages immune cells to work for the tumor;
secretes regulatory T-cells
