Ppt5 Flashcards
in order for the cell-mediated response to be active, what must always be present?
antigen
can humoral immunity be transfered to a fetus?
yes
can cell-mediated immunity be transfered to a fetus?
no
what will IL-2 do?
activate: B, NK, T helper, T cytotoxic cells
T helper cells help defend against?
parasites, cancer, bacteria/viruses inside host cell
T helper cells will regulate the proliferation and activity of these cells:
B cells, macrophages, neutrophils
t cells only react to antigen combined or associated with this molecules
MHC
how to t helper cells kill microbes?
they stimulate macrophages that have ingested the microbe to kill it
do natural killer cells require antigen stimulation?
no
are natural killer cells phagocytic?
no
how are macrophages activated in the cell-mediated response?
by using the CD40-CD40L interaction and through INF-y
what are the 2 phases of the cell-mediated response?
1) induction phase2) effector phase
what characterises the induction phase?
CD4+ and CD8+ T cells recognise antigen presented by dendritic cells in peripheral organs causing them to proliferate and differentiate into effector cells that enter the circulation…they bind to activated endothelial cells
what characterises the effector phase?
the effector t cells will recognise the antigen and release cytokines to activate phagocytes to kill the microbe or if CTL’s kill it directly
what cells will migrate through the endothelium that has been previously activated by cytokines? what cells cannot migrate through activated endothelium?
effector t cells and memory t cellsnaive t cells cant
what cells are activated and retained in the sites of infection?
t cells that specifically recognize antigen
cells that do not recognize antigen in site of infection will…
return to circulation
can resting APC’s that encounter antigen stimulate T cells?can they present antigen?
nope, they don’t express co-stimulators, yes they can present antigen though
what happens if t cells are exposed to antigen without co-stimulation?
they may become unresponsive to future presentations of that antigenTHEY MAY BECOME ANERGIC
what receptor do naive T cells have in order to recognize B7 co-stimulators on APC’s?
CD28
when APC presents antigen through MHC to Helper T cell, what does the T helper cell do?
T helper cell will secrete IL-12 and recognize the IL-12 causing it to proliferate
when the T helper cell recognizes IL-12 and proliferates, what will some of the clones become?
some are memory and others effector cells
what cells express the low affinity IL-2 receptor complex?
Naive T cells
what will activate the IL_2 receptor complex in naive T cells? what will activation of the IL-2 receptor complex in Naive T cells cause?
antigen recognition and co-stimulationit will cause expression of IL-2 cytokine
Once naive T cells express IL-2 cytokine, what happens to the IL-2 receptor complex?
it will become high affinity
how many TCR need to be cross-linked in order for a immune response to take place?
2 or more TCR
cells use this adhesion molecule receptor to bind to endothelial cells
LFA-1
LFA-1 will bind to what on endothelial cells?
ICAM-1
what is an ITAM?
tyrosine activating motif
what is used to bind to VCAM?
VLA-4
