Q

IL-10

A
  • produced by activated macrophages and TH2 cells (CD4)
  • inhibits cytokine production by activated macrophages, expression of MHC II and co-stimulatory molecules on macrophages and inhibits production of IFN-y by T-cells which shifts immune response from attack to repair functions
  • INHIBITORY CYTOKINE (dampens immune response)

might have one T-helper cell (CD4) –> cascade –> produces other activated Th cells

50
Q

antagonism cytokines

A

inhibition, some cytokines inhibit other cytokines

51
Q

synergy cytokines

A

2 cytokines work together (ex. IL-4 and IL-5) to activate B-cells

52
Q

compartmentalization of immune system tissues

A
  1. circulating system (blood and lymph) - 2%
  2. organ system (98%)
    primary: central lymphoid organs: bone marrow (B-cells maturation) and thymus (T-cell maturation)
    secondary: peripheral lymphoid organs: lymph nodes, spleen, mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (gut)
53
Q

4 immune privilages sites

A

CNS, Placenta/ fetal unit, testes, eyes (susceptible to loss of function by inflammation)

characterized by:
- low or lack of MHCI expression in tissues
- inhibiting surface molecules and cytokines
- lack of systemic lymphatic drainage
- cellular barriers that block immune cell entry
- sites tend to contain their unique immune cells that do not cause inflammation or induce immune suppression (specialized macrophages/ Treg cells)

54
Q

3 stages of existence for macrophages

A
  1. resting “lie and wait” “patrolling mode”
  2. activated/ primed by cytokines IFNy - Antigen presentation mode
  3. hyperactivation “destroyer mode”
55
Q

lifespan of neutrophils

A

short - 5-7 days

56
Q

outcomes of inflammation

A
  • vasodilation/ increased blood flow
  • fluid accumulation
  • chemical activation/ cytokine release
57
Q

chemical mediators of inflammation do…

A

intensify inflammatory response
- ex. mast cells, histamine, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, bradykin, complement

58
Q

2 types of type 1 interferons

A

(immune cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells)
- interferon a) mostly dendritic cells, macrophages
- interferon B) a wide range of cells

antiviral properties: inhibit viral replication/ transcription on ADJACENT cells (paracrine action)

59
Q

additional roles of type 1 interferons - adaptive priming

A
  • sequestration of lymphocytes in lymph nodes (maximize encounter)
  • increase cytotoxicity of killers
  • upregulate expression of MHC1
60
Q

ANTIGEN (can be made of…)

A
  • protein or carb
  • proteins
  • polysaccharides
  • lipids
  • nucleic acids
61
Q

epitope

A

part of an ANTIGEN that immune system recognizes
- interacts with antibody or T-cell receptor

  • one antigen can have many epitopes
62
Q

general features of DCs

A
  • immature/ quiescent state
  • mature state (once STIMULATED through PRR) main goal to present antigen to naieve T cells and activate them
63
Q

3 necessary elements to activate a T-cell

A

signal 1: MHC-peptide-TcR recognition (naive and memory T-cells)

signal 2: CO-STIMULATION recognition (naive T-cells)

signal 3: cytokine signalling recognition (naive and memory cells)

64
Q

how can naive antigen-specific lymphocyte contact it’s specific antigen?

A

dating bars of the body - LYMPH NODES

65
Q

secondary lymphoid organs

A
  • lymph nodes
  • spleen (blood)
  • GALT (gut) lamina propria, peyer’s patches
  • BALT (respiratory)
  • MALT (mucosal lymphoid tissue/ gut)
66
Q

langerhans cells (immature DCs in skin)

A

once they encounter antigen, they can enter lymph node and transfer Ab to other DCs which will be able to present these to B-cells

67
Q

roles are CD4 are terminal?

A

no! can change with course of infection

68
Q

memory cells can be…

A

B or T cells

69
Q

(more detailed stuff in lecture 6 to check)

A
70
Q

pos and neg selection

A

pos: select for recognized MHC

first recognize MHC I or II or dont, if you don’t then kill

neg:
select against self antigens
next, if you recognize as self, it is killed

71
Q

HLAs of MHC 1

A

HLA A,B,C

72
Q

HLAs of MHC II

A

HLA DP, DQ, DR

73
Q

main property of MHCs

A

polymorphic

74
Q

most variable HLAs

A

HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-DR

75
Q

how are T-cell receptors made?

A

VDJ recombination - gives diversity

TcRs have 1 antigen binding site whereas BcRs have 2

76
Q

each T-cell is unique!

A

yes

77
Q

dendritic cell vs macrophage (short-lived vs long-lived)

A

DC = short lived (primary APC)
macrophage = long lived

78
Q

what do PRRs do

A

most important to turning on APCs

TLRs help turn on co-activation to get process going (innate)
- TLRs are on B-cells, macrophages, and DCs (APCs)

79
Q

CD8 T-cells need to be activated TWICE

A
  1. use MHC receptors to activate/ turn on from dendritic cells (co-activation)
  2. destroys cells now

*remember, all cells express MHC1

80
Q

A

true (macrophages, NKs, CD8, B-cells)
