Q

Natural Killer only target cells that does not have what class receptor?

A 
MHC class 1
Even thought the NK cell is activated it does not mean that it will release the perforins. If its able to make contact with MHC class 1, with the inhibitory receptor, then it will not do degranulation, no release of perforins. On the other hand if the target cell does not have MHC class 1 then the NK cell will be activated and it will release the perforins

Q

Acute inflammation:

A
  1. dilation of local blood vessels increases blood flow at site (red & warm)
    1. increased permeability of capillaries causing edema (tissue swelling)
    2. tissue swelling puts pressure on nerve endings (pain & potential loss of function)
    3. macrophages and neutrophils release cytokines interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) which acts on hypothalamus to raise body temp. (fever)
      A. fever is one of the most common symptoms of infection
      B. fever stimulates phagocytosis and causes liver and spleen to store iron and zinc needed by bacteria
      C. fever may destabilize certain viruses and bacteria
    4. cell death (necrosis) always occurs to some degree during inflammation

Q

Delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH):

A

Type of acute inflamation, occurs.
Type of cell mediated immunity in which the ultimate effectors are activated macrophages

  • a period of 24 hours or more elapses between the time of antigen introduction and the response to it in an immunized subject
  • Delay occurs because TH1 cells with receptors for that particular antigen require time to arrive at antigen site, recognize the epitopes on APCs, and become activated and secrete IL-2, TNF, and IFN-y

Q

Complement

A
  1. consists of approx. 30 different proteins, along with factors, B, D, and P.
  2. circulate freely in blood plasma, generally in inactive form (zymogen)
  3. complement can be activated by classical pathway (antigen-antibody complex) or alternative pathway (spontaneously) or lectin pathway (cell wall polysaccharides of certain bacteria and fungi with factors, B, D, and P.)
  4. Complement proteins (C3b) coat pathogen surface (Opsonization), Thus promoting phagocytosis and destruction of pathogen by macrophages and neutrophils, which have receptors for C3b
  5. C5a is an important chemotactic protein, helping inflammatory cells
  6. complement C5b initiates pathway for membrane attack complex (MAC) that form pores in pathogens that have lipid membrane to induce lysis

Q

Specific immunity (Adaptive immunity) , T-cell:

A
  1. Lymphocytes produced in red bone marrow, migrate to thymus (primary lymphoid organ) where they mature (VDJ recombination of T cell receptor) and undergo selection
  2. T cells must recognize self MHC proteins needed for activation but not the self anitgens (self tolerance) that the MHC presents (T-cell eliminated in thymus if criteria not met)
  3. “Naïve” T cells recirculate only between the blood and secondary lymphoid organ
    (Ex. Spleen, tonsils, or lymph nodes) ++ Do not enter the tissues; activated in secondary lymphoid organs
  4. T-cells receptors are transmembrane proteins with constant and variable region, like antibodies; composed of 2 chains (alpha and beta)
  5. T-cell receptors recognize only a processed peptide fragment that the APC’s MHC presents to the T cell receptor, unlike B-cell receptors
  6. Other transmembrane proteins closely linked to T-cell receptors serve as coreceptors, such as CD4 and CD8
  7. T cell activation occurs in secondary lymphoid tissue when antigen is displayed with self MHC on mature dendritic cells (DCs)

  2. Antigen-presenting cell (APC) often include dendritic cells (professional APC)
  3. Activated by endogenous antigens bound to MHC class I proteins of dendritic cells
  4. Activation results in the release of IL-2, TNF, and IFN-y; and they differentiate into memory cells and activated cells (clonal expansion)
  5. “altered-self” cells expressing the same combination of foreign peptide on MHC class I are targeted; may include tumor cells, virally infected cells, or intracellular parasites

Q

Helper T cells (characteristic):

A
  1. have CD4 coreceptor protein
    1. 1st signal is initiated by exogenous antigens bound to MHC class II proteins of macrophages, dendritic cells (phagocytosis or endocytosis), and B cells (receptor-mediated endocytosis)
    2. 2nd signal is a verification step, naïve TH cells express the protein CD28 that must bind to costimulatory B7 protein on professional APCs; a protective measure to ensure TH cells are responding to a foreign antigen
  2. When 2nd activation signal is complete the originally undetermined T-helper null cell (TH0) releases a potent T cell growth factor called interleukin 2 (IL-2), which activates the T cells proliferation pathways
  3. TH0 cells differentiate into TH1 or TH2 cells depending cytokine environment Cellular Respone- IL-12 & IFN-y induces TH1 differentiation; IFN-y inhibits TH2 cells Humoral Response- IL-4 drives TH2 differentiation, and inhibits TH1 cell production
  4. Both T helper cell groups are able to inhibit the activation of the other group using their own cytokines
    • TH1 cells communicate attack against intracellular bacteria and protozoa
    • TH2 cells communicate attack against extracellular parasites including helminths

Q

B cells (characteristics):

A
  1. B Cells produced in red bone marrow; immunoglobulin (lg) synthesis occurs
  2. lg is encoded by different segments of DNA, a V (variable) segment, a D (diversity) segment, a J (joining) segment, and a constant region; variable are reshuffled by RAGs
  3. Each lg consists of 2 identical short polypeptides called light chains and 2 identical longer polypeptide chains called heavy chains; held together by disulfide bonds to form a Y-shaped molecule
  4. Each “arm” is called Fab (fragment antigen-binding) region and the “stem” is called Fc (fragment crystallizable) region
  5. The heavy chain constant region is translated from 1 of 5 possible DNA sequences named u (mu), Y (gamma), a (alpha), e (epsilon), which give rise to a particular class of immunoglobulin
  6. Immunoglobulins IgM (monomeric form) and IgD are present on mature “naïve” B cells
  7. B cells recirculate only between blood and lymphoid organs, activated in secondary lymphoid organ (Ex. Lymph nodes, MALT, which includes tonsils and appendix)
  8. B cells recognize their cognate antigen in its native form with its B-cell receptors (antibodies); each Ig can bind identical epitopes
  9. Binding of antigen to Ig on surface of appropriate B cell is usually not sufficient to activate the B cell to multiply; so B cell (APC) internalizes antigen-antibody complex and incorporates portions of antigen (epitope) on MHC II
  10. Specific TH2 cell recognizes antigen displayed by B cell; cytokines such as IL-4 are released from TH2 cell to activate B cells and plasma cells that secrete antibodies against the identical antigen

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV):

A

a retrovirus that attacks the body’s immune system; causes AIDS

A. HIV mounts direct attack on TH cells by binding to CD4 proteins on cell surface; monocytes are infected because they also express CD4
B. HIV kills TH cells, via apoptosis, faster than they can proliferate over time
C. HIV-encoded proteins also cause a decrease in the expression of MHC class I on infected cells, so these cells are less likely to be recognized and are killed by NK cells
D. When CD4+ T cell numbers decline below a critical level of 200 cells per uL. Cell-mediated immunity is lost (*cold/atletic foot/ deadly)
