20
Q

Endogenous or exogenous antigens are presented by dendritic cells by ________ to _____________

A

MHC

Helper Tcells

21
Q

Helper Tcells 1 (Th1) are associated with what immune response?

A

Cellular (cytotoxic ) response

22
Q

Helper Tcells 2 (Th2) are associated with what immune response?

A

Humoral (Bcell)

23
Q

What are the features of the lymphocyte receptor immunoglobulin superfamily?

A

Variable, constant, transmembrane, and cytoplasmic regions

Antigen binding groove (hypervariable sequence)

24
Q

What receptors belong to the Ig superfamily?

A

TCR(a/B and y/delta)
MHC (I and II)
BCR

25
Q

The CD3 complex structure and function?

A

5 protein chains, arranged in dimers

Signal transduction

26
Q

What accessory molecules are found on Tcells and what do they bind?

A

CD4 -> MHC II (helper Tcell)

CD8 -> MHC I (cytotoxic Tcell)

27
Q

What is the sequence of co-stimulatory signals following TCR binding to antigen on MHC?

A

CD3 transmits signal to CD40 (Tcell) bound to CD154 (APC) causing pro-inflammatory cytokine production

CD28 (Tcell) bound to CD80(APC)/86(Bcell) causes upregulation of survival genes, increased metabolism, and division

CD152 (Tcell) bound to CD80(APC)/86(Bcell) causes Tcell suppression by production of indolamine dioxygenase which destroys tryptophan

Sequence of events leading to activation followed by inactivation

28
Q

The __________ domain of the TCR is explicit for binding a specific antigen

A

Variable

29
Q

Tcell binding to a processed antigen activates the immune response by ?

A

Cytokines production
Mitosis
Cell differentiation

30
Q

CD3 is found in all Tcells and its main role is _______________________

A

Signal transduction

31
Q

Co-stimulatory signals are important in development of helper Tcell types. High IL12 leads to Th ____, no IL12 leads to Th____, IL23 leads to Th___ development .

A

High IL12 = Th1
No IL12 = Th2
IL23 = Th 17
