37
how do intracellular bacteria activate nk cells
they induce expression of nk activating ligands on infected cells or stimulate the production of IL-12 by DCs and macrophages
38

40
how do t cells activate macrophages
through CD40 signaling and IFN-y
41
CD4 t cells differentiate into
TH1 cells
42
what cause the differentiation of CD4 t cells into TH1

43
how can phagocytosed bacteria stimulate cd8 t cells
if bacterial antigens are transported into the cytosol
44
the macrophage activation that occurs in response to intracellular micrboes can also cause what
tissue damage
45
induce delayed type hypersensitivty
when bacteria presist for long periods within phagocytes and cause chronic antigen stimulation resulting in the formation of granulomas
46
tuberculosis results from infection by what
intracellular pathogens
47
patients that have high antibody titers but weak cell mediated immune responses mycobacteria proliferate and macrophage activation results in destructive lesions
