Magor-5 Flashcards
Examples of pAPCs
DC, macrophages and monocytes
What do pAPCs secrete?
cytokines and chemokines
When do pAPCs arise?
When they encounter pathogens
What do pAPCs do for Th cells?
Upregulate co-stimulatory molecules needed for Th cell activation
What is the only pAPC that can activate a naive Th cell?
DC
What MHC is used for the exogenous pathway?
MHC 2
What MHC is used for the endogenous pathway?
MHC 1
Activated pAPCs make more ______ which make peptides that are better suited for MHC presentation
immuno-proteosomes
When does Th activation occur?
When Th cell’s TCR recognizes pathogen bound to MHC of a pAPC
How can DC direct type of Th cell that emerges?
Depending on which PRR get activated on DC, different cytokines can be made –> directs the type of immune response
What does IL-17 do?
pro-inflammatory
What does IL-10 and TGF-beta do?
regulatory “brakes”
What does IL-4,5,13 do?
pro-antibodies
Where do interactions of DC cytokine release to convert naive Th cells into mature ones happen?
secondary lymphoid organs
What needs to happen during complete B-cell activation?
- B cells binds antigen on BCR
- B cell internalizes and loads pathogen on MHC
