Immunological Tolerance and Autoimmunity Flashcards
what are the markers of natural Treg?
CD4+CD25+++FoxP3+ and CTLA-4
what IL is critical for the survival and functional competence of Treg?
IL-2 (also FoxP3)
TGF-B + IL-6 + RA results in expression of RORyt and development of what cell?
Th17
*DCs produce RA
TGF-B + IL-2 results in development of what cell?
iTreg
where are natural Treg cells generated?
thymus
where are iTreg cells produced?
LNs, GI
Cytokines IL-4, IL-10, and TGF-B are secreted by Treg, what is the result in APC?
decrease: CD40, CD80/86, IL-12
increase: IL-10
anergy is induced without adequate costimulation upon Ag recognition from:
CD80:CD28
what cells express CTLA-4 and PD-1 after Ag stimulation?
CD4+ and CD8+
what are the receptors in the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis?
Fas (CD95), TNF
what initiator caspase is involved in the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis?
caspase 9
what initiator caspase in involved in the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis?
caspase 8
in peripheral B cell tolerance, what inhibitory receptor is Pylated by Lyn and recruits SHP-1 tyrosine phosphatase to attenuate BCR signaling?
CD22
defects in Lyn, SHP-1, CD22 = autoimmunity
tolerance to commensal microbes, uptake: GALT, Th17, Th1, barrier function, REGIIIy
unclassified bacteria
tolerance to commensal microbes, uptake: Treg, IL-10, REGIIIy
beneficial bacteria
