What kind of T cell development occurs in the thymus?

A

antigen-independent

28
Q

T cell selection that selects for recognizing MHC I or II

A

A

peripheral tolerance

34
Q

What can suppress self-reactive T cells?

A

T reg cells

35
Q

36
Q

Where do naive T cells travel

A

between circulation and secondary lymphoid tissues

37
Q

Where do effector and memory T cells travel

A

to potential sites of infection

38
Q

What are the 3 types of antigen presenting cells

A

dendritic cells, macrophages, B cells

39
Q

What are characteristics of APCs

A

present antigenic peptides on the MHC and express co-stimulatory molecules/cytokines

40
Q

Antigen presenting cells carry antigens to where?

A

secondary lymphoid tissues

41
Q

mediates first interactions between T cells and antigen presenting cells

A

CAMs (cell adhesion molecules)

42
Q

What is needed for T cell activation

A

co-stimulatory signal

43
Q

Specific co stimulatory molecule for T cell activation

A

B7

44
Q

Molecule expressed by T cells after activation, then binds to B7 and competes with CD28 to shut down T cell activation

A

CTLA-4

45
Q

B cell antigen recognized by B cell receptors

A

inducible B7

46
Q

What happens when there are no co-stimulatory cells for T cell activation?

A

anergy (the cell shuts off basically)

53
Q

2 mechanisms of Cytotoxic CD8+ T cells to kill cells

A
  1. release lytic granules (perforin and granzyme B) and 2. FAS:FAS ligand interaction between target cells and cytotoxic T cells
