31
Q

Where do NK T cells develop?

A

32
Q

What is unique about the immune response from NK T cells?

A

Very quick response b/c contain preformed mRNA molecules that code for cytokines such as IL-4, IFN-gamma, IL-2, and IL-10

33
Q

What is the difference between immunological tolerance and suppression?

A

Tolerance is a lack of response to a specific self antigen, suppression is a more general lack of immune response

34
Q

What is anergy?

A

Inability of Ag-specific cell to respond to Ag

35
Q

What are two methods for controlling immune response to self antigens?

A

Antigen sequestration and low MHC expression

36
Q

What does the AIRE gene do?

A

Allows expression of peripheral antigens in the thymus that wouldn’t normally be expressed there to show to developing T cells for negative selection. Defect leads to APECED which is a generalized autoimmune disease of several autoimmune diseases combined

37
Q

What will Katie’s name be in 5 years?

A

Dr. Kathryn Lynn Barta Goebel

Dr. David Charles Barta Goebel

38
Q

What are T reg cells?

A

CD4 and 25+ T cells that suppress disease by producing IL-10 which counteracts macrophage development and suppress antigen specific proliferation

39
Q

IPEX syndrome?

A

Problem with FOXP3 which controls TReg regulation; leads to lack of suppression of immune responses and thus overlapping autoimmune diseases

40
Q

Which two regulatory T cells do not express CD25?

A

Th3 and TR1

41
Q

Which Cytokine is produced by Th3 reg cells?

A

TGF-beta

42
Q

43
Q

Which form of amino acids (D or L) is immunogenicity?

A

L

44
Q

What antigenic dosage is immunogenic?

A

Low number of moderate doses

45
Q

Are larger or smaller antigens more immunogenic?

A

Larger, aggregated, and polyvalent molecules are most immunogenic

46
Q

Describe Costimulation.

A

APCs contain B7 (CD80/86) which reacts with CD28 on T cells while MHC reacts with TCR; once T cell has been activated it will express CTLA-4 (CD152) which will interact with B7 to suppress further immune response

47
Q

Describe Th1 differentiation from a viral infection.

A

NK and DC cells pick up antigen, produce IL-12 which directs toward Th1 which will then produce IL-2 and IFN-gamma (which inhibits Th2 pathway)

48
Q

Describe Th2 differentiation from a parasite or allergen recognition.

A

Mast cells recognize antigen and secrete IL-4 which directs toward Th2 which then produces IL-2 and IL-4 (which inhibits Th1 development)

49
Q

Are CTLs ready to kill when they leave the thymus?

A

No, termed pre-CTL’s at this point and have to be stimulated by both MHC/Ag complex and IL-2 from CD4+ T cells

50
Q

What do Th17 cells arise from?

A

Naive cd4 cells

51
Q

What do Th17 cells do and what are their secretions?

A

Important in extracellular pathogens (IL-17) and stimulate fibros, endothelials, macros, and epithelials to produce proinflammatory mediators; release IL-17, IL-6, and IL-22; do NOT release IL-4 or IFN-g

52
Q

What does IL-17 do?

A

Activates/enhances granulocytes and promotes cellular immunity by activating CD8’s, NK, and macros; implicated in autoimmune diseases; protection from extracellular pathogens

53
Q

What three cytokines are necessary for Th17 development?

A

TGF-beta, IL-6 and IL-23

54
Q

Which two cytokines inhibit Th17 maturation?

A

IL-4 and IFN-gamma

55
Q

Describe progression of B cell development?

A

Common lymphoid progenitor&raquo_space; pre pro B cell (fraction A)&raquo_space; pro B cell (fraction B)&raquo_space; late pro B cell (fraction C)&raquo_space; early pre B cell

56
Q

When do DJ and VDJ rearrangement occur during B cell development?

A

Fraction B (pro B cell) for DJ and fraction C (early pre B) for VDJ

57
Q

How does a pre BCR compare to a BCR?

A

Pre BCR contains a surrogate light chain which is made of Vpre-B and gamma5, where a mature BCR contains a rearranged light chain, successful pairing in a pre BCR leads to signaling to stop heavy chain rearrangements and move to light chain

58
Q

Describe Bruton’s agammaglobulinemia (XLA).

A

Problem with signaling cascade from pre BCR to start rearrangement of light chain. Btk protein is inactivated on X chromosome and leads to arrest of B cell development

59
Q

Which heavy chain class is most important for self recognition and tolerance in B cell development?

A

IgD

60
Q

What is receptor editing?

A

Reinitiation of VDJ recombination to alter BCR specificity; switches to other parent for heavy chain and light chain, then for light chain keeps going into lambda of either parent if needed

61
Q

How do anergic B cells differ from normal B cells?

A

They don’t express IgM and aren’t activated

62
Q

What is a B-1 B cell?

A

High in IgM and low in IgD, found mostly in neonates and fetuses, and pleural and peritoneal cavities in adults; express CD5; innate-like and produce natural antibody (broad); T cell independent

63
Q

What is a marginal zone B cell?
