Regulation of Immune Response Flashcards
At the end of an immune response, reduced antigen exposure results in reduced expression of what
IL-2 and its receptor
Intracellular organism elicit what kind of response
Th1 –> upregulate phagocytosis and IFN gamma –> NK cells and CTLss
Extracellular organisms elicit what type of response
Th2 –> CSR –> antibodies
Eosinophils, IgE
Why do T cells become anergic
if meet up with APC that does not have the costimulatory CD80/86 to its CD28
molecules necessary for tolergenic DC:T cel
CDLA-4 (CD 152), IL-10, TGFb, E-caherin…
signaling for when cell has danger signals
NF-kB upregulation –
CD86, MHCII, CD40, CCR7 hi –> IL-12, TNFa –> t cell proliferation and activation of effector functions
signaling of tolerogenic DC
CD86 low, MHC II low, CD40, CCR7 low
NF-kb downregulated
clonal deletion, anergy
CCR7
go to the lymph node
Lack of T regs in what Immunodeficiency
IPEX
immunodysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked
function t regs
prevent and suppress immune responses prevent AI dampen responses protect fetuses during pregnancy turn off immune response when antigen gone
What do T reg need to be stimulated (in vitro)
Need to be co-cultured with cells that DO NOT express high affinity IL-2R (CD25)
Need to be stimulated via TCR
What transcription factor is important for Treg (identifying factor)
Foxp3+ = central to being Treg
Treg w/ DC
APC throwing out CD80/86 but T reg throws back CTLA-4 == be quiet
down-reg of costimulation
what do Tregs produce to suppress other cells
anti-inflamm cytos
IL-10, TGFb, IL-35
IL-2R (CD25) – sops up free IL-2 (non T reg cannot proliferate)
granzymes to kill non-Tregs
B cell tolerance mechanisms
clonal deletion receptor editing (VDJ) anergy, downreg Lack of T cell help and survival factors
Th1 cytokines are
IFN-g, TNFb, IL-2
