A

no, they can present multiple antigens at once, multiple parts of an antigen

Q

what happens once CCL21 binds CCR7 on lymphocyte?

A

CCR7 receptor is activated so lymphocytes can make integrins

Q

what is the role of integrin? what type of molecule is it?

A

integrins are responsible for tight binding that causes the lymphocyte to migrate

Q

what is the main, general role of selectins?

“leukocyte homing”

aka bind receptors to target T cells to lymphoid tissue

Q

what are the 4 steps of lymphocyte migration? and the molecules involved?

A
  1. ROLLING –> selectins at HEV allow lymphocyte to roll along endothelium
  2. ACTIVATION –> CCL21 secreted by HEV binds CCR7 and leads to conformation change in integrin
  3. ARREST + ADHESION –> integrin changes conformation to bind ICAM and keep lymphocyte in one place
  4. DIAPEDESIS –> lymphocyte migrates across endothelium

Q

how do DCs attract T cells to them? where does this occur?

A

in the lymph node, DCs secrete chemokines to attract T cells to them

Q

what is the function of fibroblastic reticular cells? where is it located?

A

make a mesh surrounding lymph node

they secrete CCL21 chemokines which attract T cells and DCs to lymph nodes

Q

what happens to the movement of naive T cells before and after they bind the DC?

A

before: T cells move around a lot

after: T cells stop moving once antigen binds MHC on DC

16
Q

why won’t dying DCs interact with T cells?

A

if they are dying, they won’t be able to survive the 8h-long interaction

17
Q

how many T cells “survey” a DC per hour?

A

5000 T cells per hour

18
Q

how long do T cells spend circulating and looking for their antigen?

A

1-24h

19
Q

do T cells stay at one lymph node while searching for an antigen or travel to many lymph nodes?

A

can search in as many lymph nodes it takes to find antigen

20
Q

when do T cells stop searching for antigen?

A

until they die or find one

21
Q

what happens once the T cells have found their antigen? how long does this take?

A

they proliferate and differentiate for 4 days

22
Q

what occurs when your lymph nodes are swollen?

A

T cells are proliferating

23
Q

what does it mean to say the immune system is dynamic?

A

it is constantly dealing with many events in parallel and many processes can overlap, change locations, and influence each other

24
Q

what is the only thing that T cells recognize?

A

peptide fragments of Ag bound to self molecules of MHC on APC

25
Q

what makes T cells different from each other?

A

they have clusters of differentiation co-receptors on their surface

26
Q

what type of effector cells do CD8+ T cells become?

A

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes

27
Q

what type of effector cells do CD4+ T cells become?

A

Helper T cells

28
Q

what are the 5 types of helper T cells?

A
  1. TH1
  2. TH2
  3. TH17
  4. Treg
  5. Tfh
29
Q

what determines the type of helper T cell it becomes?

A

determined by the cytokines that act on the cell

30
Q

what is the difference btwn each type of T cell?

A

they have a distinct cytokine profile that regulates distinct activities within the body

31
Q

describe the activation of CD4+ T cells (5)

A
  • APC releases cytokines and presents antigen on MHC II
  • CD4+ T cell binds antigen using TCR
  • CD4+ T cell binds MHC II using CD4
  • CD28 binds CD80/86
  • CD4+ T cell becomes T helper cell (effector cell)
32
Q

describe the activation of CD8+ T cells (5)

A
  • APC releases cytokines and presents antigen on MHC I
  • CD8+ T cell binds antigen using TCE
  • CD8+ T cell binds MHC I using CD8
  • CD28 binds CD80/86
  • CD8+ T cell becomes cytotoxic T cell (effector cell)
33
Q

what is the type of effector T cell associated to? why?

A

the type of effector T cell is associated with the type of PAMP that the DC was exposed to

because the PAMP affects the cytokines that the DC produces and therefore the type of effector cell that arises
