T-Cell Activation Flashcards
T- cell co stimulatory molecules in T-cell activation
CD4, CD28, CD2, LFA-1, CD40: (CD154)
Dendritic cell co-stimulatory molecules in T-cell activation
HLA class II peptide, HLA class II, B7-1(CD80), B7-2(CD86), LFA-3, ICAM-1, ICAM-2, CD40
Thp Activation
Expression of IL-2R, Secretion of IL-2, Autocrine and paracrine, clonal expansion of THP differentiation to TH0
Th0
secretes IL-2, IL-4, IFN gamma,
IL-2 is a growth factor for
T-cells
IL-4 polarizes
response to TH2,
IFN gamma polarizes
response to Th1
IL-4 likely source is
mast cell
IFN gamm source is
IL-12 activated NK cells.
CTLA-4 is also known as
CD152
CD152 has a higher affinity for
CD80 and CD86 than CD28
CD200R is located on
Activated T-cells
Signaling via CD200R is
inhibitory
nTregs come from
thymic differentiation
a/i Tregs differentiate from
Th0
nTregs go after
self reactive T cells that have escaped negative selection
both nTregs and a/i Tregs suppress
various immune responses
IL-10 down regulates
secretion of IL-12 by dendritic cells
IL-12 secreted by Dendritic cells affects
INF gamma secretion by NK cells and hence Th1 and Th1 cytokines
nTregs contain
CD4+, CD25+, and FOXP3+
nTregs also negatively control
immune responses to allo/non-self antigens
Depletion of nTregs enhances
immune response to pathogens
Depletion of nTregs leads to
tumor rejection
