Lecture 3 Flashcards
What is recirculation?
the ability of lymphocytes to repeatedly:
home to secondary lymphoid organs
reside there transiently
and return to the blood
What is leukocyte homing?
cell migration out of the blood and into peripheral tissues, or a site of infection or injury
recruitment of leukocytes and plasma proteins from the blood to sites of infection and tissue injury is a major part of _____
inflammation
What triggers inflammation?
recognition of microbes and dead tissues in innate immune response
A cascade of adhesive and activation events underlies the trafficking of all subsets of circulating lymphocytes which include:
tethering
rolling
adhesion and stop
transmigration in the tissue
How does tethering occur?
through transit interactions of selecting and intern within their ligands
What does rolling allow?
chemokine receptors on leukocytes to bind chemokine expressed on endothelium
endothelial cells in healthy tissues do not express what?
adhesion molecules
_____ provide a low affinity interaction with their ligands
selectins
only _____ endothelial cells express p-selectin and e-selectin
activated
Where is L selectin only expressed?
leukocyts and lymphocytes
L selectin is important for naive T and B lymphocytes for _____ into Las by interacting with _____
homing; HEV (high endothelial venules)
What is the L selectin ligands expressed on HEV called?
peripheral node addressins
What is the distribution of P selectin?
endothelium activated by histamine or thrombin
What is the ligand of P selectin?
Sialyl Lewis X on PSGL-1 and other glycoproteins; neutrophils; monocytes; T cells
What is the distribution of E selectin?
endothelium activated by cytokines
What is the ligand of E selectin?
Sialyl Lewis X on glycoproteins, neutrophils, monocytes, T cells
What is the distribution of L selectin?
neutrophils, monocytes, T cells, B cells
What is the ligand of L selectin?
Sialyl Lewis X/ PNAd on GlyCAM-1 CD34, MADCAM-1 , others; endothelium (HEV)
Integrins provide _____ affinity interaction with their ligands
high
What is the definition of an integrin?
integrate signals triggered by extracellular ligands with cytoskeleton dependent motility, shape change and phagocytic responses
