Molecules in Lecture Flashcards
CD80/86
aka B7 1 & B7 2
- Activating Ligand on APC
- (Works w/ CD28 & CTLA4)
CD28
- Activating Signal Transduction on TCR
- (Works w/ CD80/86 on APC)
CTLA4
- Inhibitory signal Transduction on TCR
- (Works w/ CD80/86 on APC)
- Signal dampener; maintains constant level of T cell activation
LFA-1
- Adhesion, signal transduction integrin on T-cell
- (works w/ ICAM1)
ICAM-1
- Adhesion ligand on APC, endothelium
- (Works w/ LFA-1)
PD-L1/PD-L2
- Inhibitory ligand on APC, tissue cells, tumor cells (PD-L1 only)
- (Works with PD-1, stimulate ITIMs)
- Regulate inflammatory response in tissues.
- PD-1 in nucleus eventually inhibits via ZAP70
PD-1
- “Program Death” = PD
- Inhibtory function/negative regulation via ITIMs/phosphatases
- (Works w/ PD-L1 & PD-L2)
- Exists on T cells, B cells, Myeloid Cells
ICOS-L
- Costimulation ligand on professional APCs
- (Works with ICOS)
ICOS
- “Inducible T-Cell COStimulation” = ICOS
- Costimulation receptor on T-cells, helps generate follicular Th cells
- (Works w/ ICOS-L)
IL-12
- T cell differentiation cytokine
- IL-12 -> STAT4 -> T-bet -> Th1 cell (also CTL)
STAT4
- Signaling molecule activated by IL-12.
- IL-12 -> STAT4 -> T-bet -> Th1 cell (also CTL)
T-bet
- Facilitates generation of Th1 cells (also CTL)
- IL-12 -> STAT4 -> T-bet -> Th1 cell (also CTL)
IL-4
- T cell differentiation cytokine
- IL-4 -> STAT6 -> GATA3 -> Th2 cell
- Cytokine from CD4/Mast Cells that works in B cell switching from IgM -> IgE
STAT6
- Signaling molecule activated by IL-4
- IL-4 -> STAT6 -> GATA3 -> Th2 cell
GATA3
- Facilitates generation of Th2 cells
- IL-4 -> STAT6 -> GATA3 -> Th2 cell
IL-6
- T cell differentiation cytokine
- IL-6 -> STAT3 -> ROR(gamma)t -> Th17 cell
STAT3
- Signaling molecule activated by IL-6
- IL-6 -> STAT3 -> ROR(gamma)t -> Th17 cell
ROR(gamma)t
Facilitates generations of Th17 cells
-IL-6 -> STAT3 -> ROR(gamma)t -> Th17 cell
TGF (Beta)
- T cell differentiation cytokine
- Also works in inhibition of T-cell activation
- TGF (Beta) -> SMAD2/SMAD4 -> FOXP3 -> Treg cells
SMAD2/SMAD4
- Signaling molecule activated by TGF (beta)
- TGF (Beta) -> SMAD2/SMAD4 -> FOXP3 -> Treg cells
FOXP3
- Facilitates generation of Treg cells
- -TGF (Beta) -> SMAD2/SMAD4 -> FOXP3 -> Treg cells
LCK
- Protein tyrosine kinase associated w/CD4+&CD8+ coreceptor;
- Phosphorylates ITAMs on Zeta chains, CD3
- Also phosphorylates ZAP70
ITAMs
- The 2 tyrosine residues on Zeta chains/CD3.
- Phosphorylated by LCK, docking site for ZAP70
ZAP70
-Tyrosine kinase actiavted by LCK that triggers additional signaling events in T cells via phosphorylation mechanisms
