  • CD 40
  • MHC II, B7
18
Q

Cell surface proteins: Macrophages

Id all of the surface proteins

A

Cell surface proteins: Macrophages

  • CD14, CD40
  • MHC II, B7 (also found on B cells)
  • Fc and C3b receptors (enhaced phagocytosis)
19
Q

Cell surface proteins: NK cells

ID all of the surface proteins

A

Cell surface proteins: NK cells

  • CD16 (binds Fc of IgG)
  • CD56 (unique marker for NK cells)
20
Q

Define Anergy

A

Anergy

  • self-reactive T cells become nonreactive without costimulator molecule
  • B cells also become anergic, but tolerance is less complete than in T cells.
21
Q

What are the effects of bacterial toxins?

2 arching classes

A

What are the effects of bacterial toxins?

  • Superantigens (S. pyogens & S. aures)
    • cross-link the Beta region of the T-cell receptor to the MHC class II on APCs.
    • Can activate any T cell, leading to massive release of cytokine
  • Endotoxins/lipopolysaccharide (gram-negative bacteria)
    • directly stimulate macrophages by binding to endotoxin receptor CD14
    • Th cells are not involved
