Immunology week 7 Flashcards
everything up to slide 13 is a repeat from Week 6
YES CARTA =
CAR T cell therapy
When do you use Car T to tx adults?
TX adults with large B cell lymphoma
who have not responded or have
relapsed after 2 round of tx
Yescarta uses CAR T cells which are:
Yescarta uses CAR T cells which are
genetically engineered t cells with a
chimeric AG receptor
YESCARTA= CAR T cell therapy
MOA
T cells are taken from ? and what happens?
T cells are taken from peripheral blood
and genes are inserted into the T cells
YESCARTA= CAR T cell therapy
MOA
T cells are taken from peripheral blood
and genes are inserted into the T cells
what then happens with the Chimeric AG Receptor?
what result?
that then happens?
The Chimeric AG Receptor then binds to
the tumor AG with high affinity as a
result the T cells will increase in number
(expansion) and then will be injected
back into the infected patient.

AG presentation to Naive T cells & Dendritic cell (DC) Importance
ARE DC important in the presentation and activation of naive T cells?
Remember DC are very important in the
presentation and activation of naive T
cells
AG presentation to Naive T cells & Dendritic cell (DC) Importance
T cell responses are initiated where?
T cell responses are initiated in the
peripheral lymphoid organs (lymph nodes,
spleen ,etc)
AG presentation to Naive T cells & Dendritic cell (DC) Importance
Pathogens that enter via skin, are taken where?
Pathogens that enter via skin, etc are
taken to the draining lymph nodes
AG presentation to Naive T cells & Dendritic cell (DC) Importance
pathogens that are in the
bloodstream go where?
whereas pathogens that are in the
bloodstream will be taken to the spleen
AG presentation to Naive T cells & Dendritic cell (DC) Importance
DC cells
strategically located where?
Strategically located at common sites of
entry of microbes
AG presentation to Naive T cells & Dendritic cell (DC) Importance
DC cells
they have express receptors that allow them to do what
Express receptors that enable them to
capture microbes
AG presentation to Naive T cells & Dendritic cell (DC) Importance
DC cells
They migrate where?
Migrate to t cell rich zone of lymph
nodes
AG presentation to Naive T cells & Dendritic cell (DC) Importance
DC cells
They express high levels or what that is needed to do what?
Express high levels or co-stim molecules
which are needed to activate naive t
cells!
AG presentation to Naive T cells & Dendritic cell (DC) Importance
DC cells
they can ingest what? and present them to what?
Ingest infected cell and tumor cells and
can present these cells to cd8 t cells
AG presentation to Naive T cells & Dendritic cell (DC) Importance
DC cells
Ingest infected cell and tumor cells and
can present these cells to cd8 t cells
ONLY DC cells are capable of doing what?
Remember only DC are able to do
cross priming/ cross
presentation!!!!
T cell activation
Naive T cells circulate where?
only have functional capabilities after what?
Naive t cells circulate in secondary
lymphoid organs and only have
functional capabilities after they are
activated by Dendritic cells!
T cell activation
AG recognition by t cells:
3 features:
hint-what do they secrete?
Cytokine secretion
proliferation
Differentiation
T cell activation
AG recognition by t cells
proliferation
what happens why is it important?
proliferation
■ Increase in # of t cells of a specific
clone b/c remember t cells are
specific so it is important that only
t cells for that AG are being made!!
T cell activation
AG recognition by t cells:
Differentiation
explain
hint-Naive T cells –> ?
Differentiation
■ Naive t cells-> effector and
memory cells
T cell activation
Recognition of the AG= ?
Recognition of the AG= the 1st signal
for the activation of T cells!(TCR, MHC
w/AG interaction)
T cell activation
Recognition of the AG= the 1st signal
for the activation of T cells!(TCR, MHC
w/AG interaction)
2 examples:
Recognition of the AG= the 1st signal
for the activation of T cells!(TCR, MHC
w/AG interaction)
○ CD4= MHC 2
○ CD8= MHC1
T cell activation
The 2nd signal for T cell activation is
called
The 2nd signal for T cell activation is
called costimulation CD28:B7
T cell activation
The 2nd signal for T cell activation is
called costimulation CD28:B7
what is it required for?
why?
The 2nd signal for T cell activation is
called costimulation CD28:B7
○ It is a requirement for T cell activation!!!
○ w/o co stimulation there will be no t cell
response (anergy) or tolerance will occur
T cell activation
Signal 2= what?
Signal 2= aids in the survival,
proliferation, and differentiation of the
specific T cells
T cell activation
CD40: what? which causes what? by doing what?
CD40:CD40L enhances the T cell
response (proliferation and
differentiation) by activating APC
T cell activation
is a balance between what?
of the what?
T cell activation:
○ Balance between activating and
inhibitory receptors of the CD28 fam
■ inhibitory= CTLA4 &PD1
T cell activation
CD28-B7=
what is it? what is it’s importance?
CD28-B7= most important signal
(costimulation) and activation of naive t
cells!!
T cell activation
ICOS-ICOS ligand=
what is it important for?
ICOS-ICOS ligand= important for T cell
dependent AB response
CTLA-4:B7=
what does it do?
where does it do it?
CTLA-4:B7= inhibits the activation of T
cells in secondary lymphoid organs
T cell activation
PD1:PD1-ligand=
what does it do?where does it do it?
PD1:PD1-ligand= inhibits the activation
of the effector cells in peripheral
tissues
T cell activation
This slide is sooooo important!! :)so lets repeat:
CD28:B7
what does it do why is it important?
interaction is most imortant for initiating responses by activating Naive T Cells.
T cell activation
This slide is sooooo important!! :)so lets repeat:
ICOS:ICOS-ligand
interactions are critical for helper T cell-dependent antibody responses
T cell activation
This slide is sooooo important!! :)so lets repeat:
CTLA-4:B7
onteractions inhibit the intitial activation of T cells in seconary lymphoid organs
T cell activation
This slide is sooooo important!! :)so lets repeat:
PD1:PD-ligand
interactions inhibit the activation of effector cells in the peripheral tissues.
Therapeutic costimulatory blockade
what is it?
what does it treat?
what is it undergoing clinical trials to treat?
CTLA-4-Ig= approved therapy for
rheumatoid arthritis and transplant
rejection and is on clinical trials for the
tx of psoriasis and crohn’s dz
Therapeutic costimulatory blockade
Inhibitors of the CD40L:CD40 pathway=
Inhibitors of the CD40L:CD40 pathway=
clinical trials for transplant rejection and
