40
What two molecules are needed to activate naive T-cells
B7 and CD28
41
What inhibits B7-CD28 interaction and how
CTLA-4 blocks and removes B7 molecules from the surface of APCs, reducing costimulation by CD28 and preventing the activation of T cells

After T-cells act they express what on the surface to increase preferential binding to B7 and suppress activation of T-cells
CTLA-4
43
Which molecules will inhibit kinase dependent activating signals from CD28 and the TCR complex?
**PD-1** is expressed on T cells after antigen stimulation, and acts by inhibiting kinase dependent activating signals from CD28 and the TCR complex

proliferate
48
When are memory cells formed and how long do they last?
During primary adaptive immune response and can persist for extended periods in the absence of the og antigen. ▪ Memory T cells undergo metabolic reprogramming to survive long-term ▪ More sensitive to restimulation by antigen than naïve T cells ▪ Memory T cells proliferate more rapidly and robustly compared to their naive precursors
49
Memory cells
▪ Formed during primary adaptive immune response ▪ Memory T cells undergo metabolic reprogramming to survive long-term ▪ More sensitive to restimulation by antigen than naïve T cells ▪ Memory T cells proliferate more rapidly and robustly compared to their naive precursors

55
Th0 and IL4 pathway to helper cell
T-H0 ↓ IL4 ↓ T-H2 ↓ activate IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 (6 as well) (cytokynes) ↓ Activates B-cell
56
TH0 and Il-12 and INF-gamma to Helper
TH0 ↓ TH1 ↓ activate IL-2 and INF-gamma ↓ Activates CD8 and macrophages

IL-4 IL-12 IL-any number
58
Th17 cells develop in response to [what] and induces [what]?
extracellular bacterial and fungal infections and induce inflammatory reactions that destroy these organisms
59
Regulatory T cells main function
Regulatory T cells main function is to suppress immune response
60
CD4+ helper T cells – Th1
* DCs produce INF-gamma & IL-12 which TH0 differentiates to TH1. * Th1, acting through CD40 ligand and IFN- γ , increase the ability of macrophages to kill phagocytosed microbes
61
T cells mediate protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
▪ IFN-γ is produced by Th1 cells, ▪ IFN-Y contribute to the recruitment of monocytes and granulocytes and activate the antimicrobial activity of macrophages - phagosome maturation, production of reactive nitrogen intermediates and antigen presentation ▪ T cells participate in granuloma formation, the pathologic hallmark of tuberculosis
62
HiV on TB
CD4 T cells deficiency (e.g., HIV+) dramatically increases susceptibility to both primary and reactivation tuberculosis
63
CD4+ Helper T cells – Th2
▪ DCs produce IL-4 = Th0 → Th2 cells ▪ Th2, secrete IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13, to stimulate antibody responses and defend against helminth parasites ▪ Th2 cytokines inhibit activation of classical macrophages (microbicidal and proinflammatory), and stimulate alternative pathway of macrophage activation - important in tissue repair and fibrosis
64
Th2 cells are involved in allergic reactions to environmental antigens . What do repeat exposure to allergens trigger?
Triggers mast cell and eosinophil activation
65
CD4+ Helper T cells – Th2 picture look at it
SLIDE 21 on L5
66
CD8+ T cells
* Activated upon binding to non-self antigen presented by DC in the context of MHC-I * CD8 + T lymphocytes recognise peptides on infected cells and tumor cells expressed in MHC-I molecules * Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) uses perforin and granzymes to destroy infected cells * look at slide
67
Cytotoxic T cells effector functions
▪ Perforin disrupts integrity of target cell plasma membrane and endosomal membranes - facilitates the delivery of granzymes into cytosol ▪ Granzymes activate enzymes caspases that are present in cytosol of target cells and whose major function = induce apoptosis
68
Cooperation between CD4+ and CD8+ T cells
▪ In a macrophage infected by an intracellular bacterium, some bacteria are sequestered in vesicles (phagosomes), and others may escape into the cytosol ▪ CD4 + T cells recognise antigens derived from vesicular microbes and activate macrophages to kill microbes in vesicles ▪ CD8 + T cells recognise antigens derived from cytosolic bacteria and are needed to kill infected cell -> eliminating reservoir of infection.
69
IL-4 pathway simple - hel,inth parasites
IL-4 produced by DCs lead to the differentiation of naïve CD4+ T cells into Th2 cells. Th2, acting through IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13, stimulate antibody responses and defend against helminth parasites
70
INF-γ and IL-12 pathway to kill microbes
INF-γ and IL-12 produced by DCs lead to the differentiation of naïve CD4+ T cells into Th1 cells. Th1 cells increase the ability of macrophages to kill phagocytosed microbes via CD40 ligand and IFN- γ
71
After the antigen is eliminated, contraction occurs (homeostasis/ equilibrium). However, some T cells differentiate into memory T cells, which are long-lived cells with an enhanced ability to react against the antigen
