M4 L4 Flashcards
humoral
immune response relating to the blood
activation of naive T cells occurs in which immune system
adaptive, humoral
activation of naive T cell steps (6)
1) antigen presenting cells recognize extracellular antigen
2) antigen is ingested
3) antigen is broken down in endosome
4) MHC II + antigens fuse
5) cleave antigens
6) antigen expressed on cell surface through MHC II
7) dendritic cell goes to lymph node to find its T cell receptor
8) T
where do dendritic cells find naive T cells
lymph nodes
lymph nodes are
organized compartments
activated T cells differentiate into
diff subsets
TH1 subset
immunity to intracellular pathogens
TH2 subset
immunity to parasites, allergy responses
TH17
extracellular pathogens, fungi & bacteria
what subset can cause autoimmunity
TH17
Treg
maintain tolerance to bacteria so we are not responding to the microbiome all the time
- important in small intestine
example autoimmune disease
arthritis
what happens when naive CD4 T helper cell gets cytokined from APCs?
directs it on what subset to form -> TH1, TH2, etc
T helper cell activation of humoral immunity steps
1) B cell goes to lymph node to find its T cell match using T cell receptors
2) T cell & B cell bind and send messages to each other
3) T cell secretes cytokines to tell B cell what antibodies to make
4) B cell is now activated
5) B cell can undergo clonal expansion to make plasma cells or can make memory cells
plasma cell function
makes antibodies
