Q

Main Microbial Killing by Phagocytes

A

Utility of Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species:
[Backgroung: Free radicals are highly reactive.]
1. NADPH oxidase enzyme makes O(2-) (superoxide) targeted into the phagosome or into extracellular space. Then, non-enzymatic reactions of O(2-) generate: H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide), HO (hydroxyl radical)
2. NO- is made by inducible誘導型 nitric oxide synthase一氧化氮合成酶.

95
Q

Other means of attack to kill microbial by phagocytes

A
  1. Degradative enzymes: lysozyme attacks proteoglycan in the cell wall & acid proteases degrade proteins
  2. Antimicrobial Peptides (positively charged peptides that attack bacterial cell wall)
  3. Other proteins bind and sequester iron, that is essential to bacteria
96

Q

Features of Neutrophils

A

114
Q

115
Q

116
Q

117
Q

Two parts for antibody

118
Q

Consequences of Antigen Recognition by T and B cells

A
  1. Proliferation: clonal selection or clonal expansion.
  2. Differentiation
    • B and T cells develop mature“effector” cell function.
    • B cells become antibody-secreting “plasma cells”
    • T cells become CTL or T helper cells
    • Some T and B cells become long-lived memory cells
119
Q

Progenitor cell

A

祖細胞

120
Q

Clonal Expansion

A

1st generation: Progenitor cell - Receptor variability generated during development

2nd generation:
- Lymphocyte pool with different Ag specificity
- Removal of self-reactive lymphocytes leads to self tolerance

3nd generation: Recognition of foreign antigen by mature naïve lymphocytes and clonal expansion

Receptor variability generated during development

121
Q

How do B and T Cells make so many different Antigen Receptors?

A

B and T cell genes rearrange during development, randomly combining different gene segments to generate variable receptors.

122
Q

Neutralisation

A

中和作用

antibody binding to virus can block entry into cells. Antibody can also neutralise bacterial toxins (e.g. tetanus toxin) and prevent effects on cells

123
Q

Some Ways in Which Antibodies Act:

A
  1. Neutralisation
  2. Opsonisation
  3. Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.
  4. Activation of classical pathway of complement system –lysis, opsonisation, inflammation
  5. Triggering of mast cells to release histamine
124
Q

Antibody 5 Classes

A

vary by the use of different heavy chain constant regions – IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, IgE

125
Q

class switching of antibody

A

B cells can switch from making one class of antibody to another, but it does not change the antigen specificity of the antibody

126
Q

IgM

A

First class produced in response to a new Ag. Activates complement well. Can be pentameric.

127
Q

IgG

A

Major Ig in blood, crosses placenta胎盤 into fetus胎兒.

128
Q

IgA

A

129
Q

IgE

A

130
Q

IgD

133
Q

CD4 marker

A

a surface protein
T helper (Th) cells have
(i) help B cells make antibody – Th2 subset are good at this
(ii) activate macrophages to kill ingested organisms – Th1 subset are good at this

134
Q

Th2 subset of CD4 maker

A

help B cells make antibody

135
Q

help B cells make antibody

A

activate macrophages to kill ingested organisms

136
Q

CD8 marker

A

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) have to directly kill infected cells or tumour cells

137
Q

T Cell Antigen Recognition

A

• TCR does not recognise free antigen
• TCR recognises peptides from antigens which are “processed” by antigen presenting cells (APC) and presented on a molecule called MHC (major histocompatibility complex).

138
Q

Antigen “processing”

A

proteins are broken down by proteases to give short peptides.

139
Q

The major APC (Antigen-Presenting Cell) involved in activation of naïve T cells

A

Dendritic Cells

140
Q

HLA (human leukocyte antigen)

A

MHC proteins

141
Q

major cause for incompatibility in transplantation

A

MHC proteins are highly variable between individuals

142
Q

MHC Class I

A

-displays peptides derived from cytoplasmic proteins (inside)
-activates CD8 T cells to become CTL

143
Q

MHC Class II

A

-displays peptides derived from proteins from outside cell and within phagosomes/endosomes (outside)
-activates CD4 T cells to become T helper cells

144
Q

MHC I or MHC II provides information on the location of the pathogen, and directs an appropriate immune response:

A

• MHC II: An extracellular infection needs T helper cell activation
• MHC I: An intracytoplasmic infection needs CTL activation

145
Q

Naïve T cell activation by activated DCs requires 2 signals

A

Signal 1 = T cell receptor binding MHC- Ag peptide
Signal 2 = Costimulatory signal (e.g. CD28 on T cell binds B7 on dendritic cell)

146
Q

why the dendritic cell only expresses B7 if it is activated

A

This helps to restrict T cell activation to infectious situations.

147
Q

The difference between PAMPs AND Antigens

A

1) The antigen (usually a protein) which is taken up and processed for presentation on MHC.
2) the PAMP (e.g. LPS, bacterial DNA) which alerts the APC to the fact there is an infection – the PAMP is not an antigen. PAMP signaling induces expression of B7 on the surface of the DC, to provide the essential signal 2.

148
Q

apoptosis

A

細胞凋亡

149
Q

Function of Cytotoxic T Cells

A

•Kill virally infected cells or tumour cells.
•Release granules which induce apoptosis.

150
Q

The function of T helper (“Th”) cells

A

Th1 and Th2 cells secrete different types of cytokines and are particularly good at helping macrophages and B cells, respectively

151
Q

Activated T cells can be:

A

(i)Cytotoxic T lymphocytes

(ii) T helper (“Th”) cells

152
Q

Summary of T cell Life

A
  1. T cell progenitors [Bone marrow]
  2. Develop & rearrange TCR gene [thymus]
  3. Central tolerance: T cells with a TCR strongly recognising self proteins are deleted
  4. Mature naïve T cells leave thymus and circulate [blood and secondary lymphoid organs]
  5. Stimulate to be Effector T cell (CTL or Th cell) through the recognition of antigen epitope by TCR
  6. Do the work of Effector T cells
  7. After antigen disappeared, Responsive T cell ↓, but memory T cells remain

Q

Process of Allergy

A
  1. Prior sensitisation to allergen: T cell and B cell activation to produce IgE
  2. Allergen-IgE binding to Mast Cells leading to “degranulation”- release of histamine to show the symptom of allergy
  3. Severe response causes anaphylactic shock: many mast cells degranulation causing a dangerous drop in blood pressure
  4. 事先對過敏原致敏:T細胞和B細胞活化產生IgE
  5. 過敏原-IgE與肥大細胞結合導致「脫粒」-釋放組織胺以顯示過敏症狀
  6. 嚴重反應導致過敏性休克:許多肥大細胞脫顆粒導致血壓危險下降
