What are the two mechanisms that cytotoxic T cells use to kill?

A

Secretion of cytotoxic granules and FAS on the target cell

34
Q

What are microtubules important for?

A

Targeting the granules on the surface so they can be controlled and released

35
Q

Why is lysis developed?

A

In lysis

36

Antibody and cell mediated immunity

39
Q

What is reduced when cytotoxic T cell responses increase?

A

Viral shedding

40

How do epidemics arise?

A

If the vaccine is wrong

41
Q

What is an example of a specific immunity virus?

A

HIV

42
Q

What does HIV target?

A

The immune system and attaches macrophages and dendritic cells

43
Q

What does development of HIV lead to?

A

More infections

44
Q

What is kapsoi’s sarcoma?

A

Herpes virus x

45
Q

What disease do antibodies not protect?

A

HIV - if they did then there would be a vaccine

46

Patients with strong CTL have …..

A

Slower decrease progression

47
Q

Virus mutations IN HIV lead to?

A

Progression of AIDS

48
Q

What type of RNA virus is sars-cov2?

What are some examples of parasites?

A

Round worms, tape worms and hook worms

50
Q

What are some protective mechanisms from parasites?

A

Opsonisation, complement lysis and ADCC

51
Q

How does ADCC work (antibody-dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity)?

A

Binds the antibody onto the surface and recognises the FC portion of the antibodies with FC receptors

52
Q

What do helminths induce?

A

A strong IgE response

53

What are the role of helminths?

A

Mast cell mediated inflammation

54
Q

What Protozoa can survive in macrophages?

A

Leishmania

55
Q

What are the different effector mechanisms for malaria?

A

Sporozoite and merozoite may be susceptible to antibody, antibody may kill infected red blood cells and cytotoxic T clells active against infected liver cells
