CD4+ helper T cells – Th1

A
  • 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
Q

T cells mediate protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

A

▪ 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

▪ Granzymes activate enzymes caspases that are present in cytosol of target cells and whose major function = induce apoptosis

68
Q

Cooperation between CD4+ and CD8+ T cells

A

▪ 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
Q
