L16: Activation And Expansion Of T Cells Flashcards
Where are naive T cells made
In the thymus
How is a naive T cell activated
Antigen is presented by the dendritic cell to the naive T cell
How do dendritic cells present the antigen to the naive T cell
In MHC complex
Where are naive T cells activated by the dendritic cells
In the lymph nodes
Which receptors on the dendritic cell allow it to migrate to the site of infection
Chemokine receptor 1,2,5,6
To stop the dendritic cell from migrating to the site of infection and make it migrate it to the Lymph node what happens to the chemokine receptors
Chemokine receptors are down regulated
Which receptor switches on to allow the migration of the dendritic cell to the lymph node
CCR7
When the dendritic cell reaches the lymph node what changes occur to the dendritic cell
1) express MHC molecule with the antigen
2) express co stimulatory molecule called B7
What are the 3 signals that occur when dendritic cells bind to naive T cells so they are activated
Signal 1 : activation
Signal 2: survival
Signal 3: differentiation
How does the first signal (activation occur)
MHC class 2 on dendritic cell binds to T cell receptor on naive T cell
What happens in the second signal (survival)
B7.1 and B7.2 on dendritic cells binds to CD28 on T cells
What is B7.1 and B7.2 also known as
CD80 = B7.1 CD86= B7.2
What happens in signal 3 (differentiation)
Dendritic cells release cytokines of IL-6, IL-12, TGF-BETA, IL-4 which bins to T cells
What do naive T cells differentiate into
Effector T cells
What do effector T cells later become if they are retained
Memory T cells
Name the types of effector cells
CD8 cytotoxic cells CD4 th1 cell CD4 th2 cells CD4th17 TFH CD4 reg T cells
