43
Q

How do T cells enter the lymph node cortex?

A

From blood via high endothelial Venules

44
Q

What happens to T cells not activated by Antigen presented by dendritic cells?

A

Exit lymph node via the cortical sinuses

45
Q

What happens to T cells activated by Antigen presented by dendritic cells?

A

Proliferate and lose ability to exit lymph node

46
Q

What happens to T cells that have been activated?

A

Differentiate to effector cells and exit the lymph node

47
Q

Small resting lymphocytes

A

Cell is quite small Very little cytoplasm Most of the Cell is occupied by nucleus DNA is very condensed > transcriptionally silent

48
Q

Lymphoblast

A

The cytoplasm is relatively small DNA is less compressed T cells become transcriptionally active

49
Q

Effector and B and T cell

A

Cell become bigger Cytoplasm is bigger. Endoplasmjc reticulum present B cells are transcriptionally and translationally active

50
Q

What do Effector T cells produce ?

A

Large amounts of cytokines

51
Q

What is the clonal selection hypothesis?

A

Each lymphocyte bears a single type of receptor with unique specificity Interaction between foreign molecule and lymphocyte receptor lead to lymphocyte activation. Differentiated effector cells derived from activated lymphocytes bear receptors of identical specificity to parental cell from which that lymphocyte was derived. Lymphocyte bearing receptors specific for ubiquitious self molecules are deleted and are absent from mature lymphocytes

52
Q

What is the structure of TCR?

A

Alpha and beta chains linked by a disulphide bond One Antigen binding site TCR are never secreted N terminal region is responsible for binding of antigen [variable region ]

53
Q

Antibodies and epitopes

A

Antibodies bind to epitopes displayed on surface of antigens. The epitopes recognised by T cell receptors are often buried The Antigen must first be broken down into peptide fragments The epitope peptide binds to a self molecule, an MHC molecule The T cell receptor binds to a complex of MHC molecule and epitope peptide

54
Q

What does APC express

A

MHC class II molecules and I-Cam

55
Q

What do T cell express ?

A

CD4 (can bind to MHC II), TCR an LFA-1

56
Q

What happens when T cell and APC are in close vicinity?

A

Weak interaction occurs between integrin (LFA-1 and ICAM-1)

57
Q

What does the change in LFA-1 stabilise ?

A

Association between Antigen-Specific T cell and APC

58
Q

What are the 3 chains the IL-2 receptor is composed of?

A

Alpha. Beta. Gama

59
Q

What receptors do Resting T cell express?

A

Beta and gamma chain only Bind IL-2 with moderate affinity (T cell responds to very high concentration of IL-2)

60
Q

What happens when there is association of alpha chain to beta and gamma heterodimer?

A

Creates a receptor with increased affinity for IL-2 - cells respond to very low concentration of IL-2

61

A

T cell proliferation

62
Q

What does binding of IL-2 to its receptor signal?

A

T cell to enter cell cycle

63

65
Q

What is essential for limiting proliferative response ?

A

CTLA-4 binding to B7 molecules

66
Q

Where does signal 2 only take place in ?

A

Inflammatory context - cause recruitment of macrophages and neutrophils

67
Q

What is signal 2?

A

CD80/86 on APC interact with their receptor CD28 on T cell to generate activating signals

68
Q

What is signal 3?

A

Secretion of cytokines by APC Delivers all the necessary information for T cell to fully understand the type of pathogen the host is dealing with

69

TGF - beta —> FoxP3

A

T reg cells

70
Q

TGF-beta IL-6 > ROR Gamma T

A

TH1 cells

72
Q

IL-4 > GATA-3

A

TH2 cells

73
Q

How does CTL kill?

A

CTL recognises and binds Virus-infected Cell. CTL programs target for death, induce DNA fragmentation. CTL migrate to new target.
Target cell dies by apoptosis

74
Q

What promote the response of B cells ?

A

TH1 and TH2

75
Q

What does TH1 help to eradicate?

A

Infections by microbes that can survive or replicate within marcrophages

76
Q

What does TH2 help to control?

A

Infects by Extracellular parasites particularly helminths by promoting responses mediated by eosionophils, mast cells and IgE

77
Q

What are TH17 responses typically induced by?

A

Extracellular Bacteria and Fungi Amplify neutrophilic response

78
Q

What do most CD8 cytotoxic T cell release?

A

Cytokines; IFN Gamma, TNF alpha, LT alpha

79
Q

What does IFN Gamma inhibit?

A

Viral replication directly. Activate macrophages

80
Q

What does perforin do?

A

Aids in delivering contents of granules into the cytoplasm of target cells

81
Q

What is the function of Granzymes?

A

Serine proteases which activate apoptosis once in the cytoplasm of target cell

82
Q

What is the function of Granulysin?

A

Antimicrobial actions and can induce apoptosis

83
Q

What is the function of IFN-Gamma and CD40 ligand?

A

Activated macrophages to destroy engulfed bacteria

84
Q

What is the function of Fas ligand and LT alpha?

A

Kills chronically infected cells, releasing bacteria to be destroyed by fresh macrophages

85
Q

What is the function of IL-2?

A

Induce T cell proliferation, increasing number of effector cells

86
Q

What is the function of IL-3 + GM-CSF?

A

Induces Macrophage Differentiation In bone marrow

87
Q

What is the function of TNF-alpha and LT-beta?

A

Activates endothelium to induce Macrophage binding and exit from blood vessel at site of infection

88
Q

What is the function of CCL2?

A

Causes macrophages to accumulate at the site of infection

89
Q

How does T cell enter lymph node cortex from blood?

A

High endothelial venue (HEV)

Through interaction that are not antigen-specific but are governed by cell-adhesion molecules
