23
Q

What do apc upregulste after danger signal to ensure signal 2 of T cell activation

A

B7 co stimulatory factor and MHC

24
Q

What do cytokines released by apc in signal 3 do

A

Turn on transcription factors which cause T cells to further release them for auto proliferation

25
Q

Which cytokines released by apc in signal 3 turn on a TF for th1 cells

A

Il 12 and ifn y

Activate th1

Th1 then produce il 2 and ifn y for own proliferation and other purposes

26
Q

What cytokine is released by apc which is the released by the activated th2 cell

A

Il4 activated th2 differentiation then th2 further releases il4 due to a TF turn on

27
Q

Which cytokine released by apc causes stimulation of tfh cells

A

Il 6

28
Q

Do cytokines in signal 3 only determine CD4 cells eg th1,tfh and th2

A

Yes as CD8 don’t have others except cytotoxic T cells

29
Q

What are the 3 main apc with MHC II for CD4 activation

A

Macrophages dendrites and B cells

30
Q

How do dendritic cells uptake exogenous ag

A

Macropinocytosis and phagocytosis

31
Q

Which type of dendritic cell is the most potent apc for T cell activation

A

Myeloid conventional dendritic cell (Dc 2 and 3)

6 types though

32
Q

Where do immature myeloid conventional dc wait for ag uptake

A

Skin/epithelial tissues

33
Q

When myeloid conventional dc get a danger signal what do they do

A

Start to express B7 co stimulatory molecules for T cell signal 2 and they move to lymph node to present ag on MHC II

34
Q

Which dendritic cells are for viral infections

A

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells

35
Q

When do myeloid conventional dc 2 and 3 stop up taking ag

A

When the danger signal received, they’ve uptaken a ag and moved to lymph node with a B7 on surface

36
Q

Can dendrites be both mhc

A

Yes mhc 1 and 2

37
Q

Do myeloid conventional dc produce cam like icam 1 for signal 1 of T cell activation

A

Yes

38
Q

What directs MC dendritic cells to lymph node

A

Chemokines attaching to their chemokine receptors

39
Q

What is cross presentation via DC 1

A

Where they present exogenous ag on class I instead of class 2 mhc

This allows CD8 activation which can now kill infected cells which aren’t presenting their ag on MHC II and have no co stimulatory molecules for T cell activation

40
Q

How do macrophages internalise ag

A

Same as dc

Macropinocytosis and phagocytosis

(After a danger signal received by pamps and prr)

41
Q

After internalisation of ag by macrophages what happens

A

They upregulste B7 and move to LN for T cell activation
They also release cytokines like Ifn y which help CD4 differentiate into th1 for example

They do this for their OWN benefit as T cell release of cytokines activates macrophages

42
Q

Do B cells have good or bad phagocytosis

A

Bad

43
Q

How are SPECIFIC ag internalised into B cells for bcr presentation

A

receptor mediated endocytosis

44
Q

What upregulates B7 in B cells for co stimulation signal 2 of t cells

A

Bcr binding of specific antigens

45
Q

Why do B cells activate T cells via this

A

Because they need T cells to in turn activate them

46
Q

What has it been shown recently bcr can do

A

Extract ag from other cells to increase their own activation as they put it on their class II for t activation

47
Q

Which cytokine is a potent T cell growth factor

A

Il 2 (induced T cell cell cycle)

48
Q

How do IL 2 receptors on naive and activated T cells differ

A

Naive the receptors for il 2 are low affinity. Naive can’t proliferate fast

When T cells become activated fully via the 3 signals they gain a high affinity il 2 receptor which binds il 2 causing cells like th1 to proliferate fast

49
Q

Which drugs can target il 2

A

Immunosuppressive drugs to stop T cell proliferation

50
Q

Effector T cells enter tissues how

A

Leaky endothelium

51
Q

Do cams change in effector T cells

A

Yes. They now need to stick to target tissues

52
Q

What is no longer needed when effector T cells become effectors

A

B7 co stimulatory molecules on apc

53
Q

What do CD8 kill

A

Infected cells presenting peptide on MHC I and that have co stimulatory molecules

Or

Infected cell once been activated by cross presenting dc1 via MHC I

(For infected cells without costimulatory molecule)

54
Q

What do CD8 cells need for activation to kill

A

Many co stimulation molecules on apc or help from CD4 cells

55
Q

What is zap

A

Zeta associated protein which is a tyrosine kinase causing signalling through cd3 in signal 1
