A

opportunistic pathogens

49
Q

VLA-4 is an integrin on surface of EFFECTOR t cells that binds to

A

VCAM-1 of activated vascular endothelial cells for transmigration of effector T cells out of vasculature

50
Q

lower than normal levels of IgM but almost undetectable quantities of IgG or IgA in serum. lymph biopsy reveals near total lack of germinal center formation. Non-sense mutation of?

A

IL-2.
Normal numbers of B cells and T cells. B cells appear to be functional because of IgM. Defect that prevents him from mounting CD8 or CD4 mediated immune responses. IL-2 is required for proliferation and differentiation after activation. Patients with this defect can’t make CD4 or CD8 T cell response, can’t activate B cells

51
Q

IL-4 deficient patient, more susceptible to?

A

extracellular pathogens

52
Q

IL-12, IFN-gamma deficient patient more susceptible to?

A

intracellular pathogens (no TH1 response)

53
Q

Heightened susceptibility to viral, bacterial, fungal pathogens. SCID. elevated serum concentrations of IgM, but almost undetectable concentrations of other antibodies. normal levels of all immune cells in circulation. Normal architecture, except total lack of germinal centers Clinical history shows what?

A

Lack of B7 expression on macrophages and dendritic cells isolated from secondary lymphoid tissues. No ability to produce B7, unable to activate T cells (CD4 and CD8). SCID patients.

54
Q

Deficiency in VCAM-1 or VLA4 would prevent effector T cells from what?

A

migrating from circulation into inflammatory sites.

55
Q

GATA3 drives transcription of cytokines by

A

Thelper 2 type effector CD4 T cells. (heightened susceptibility to extracellular pathogens)

56
Q

T-bet drives expression of cytokines by

A

T helper type 1 cells. (heightened susceptibility to intracellular pathogens)

57
Q

Thelper17 cells produce? what does this do?

A

IL-17, IL-22 that promotes production of antimicrobial peptide/proteins by epithelial cells

58
Q

Most important immune response for clearance of most viral infections is an acquired response that allows for high specificity detection and killing of virally-infected cells early in replicative cycle. What is this?

A

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are effectors of this response.

T helper 1 type T cells are next because they produce cytokines that activate CD8 t cells.

59
Q

What type of antigen presentation would be expected with someone that has inflamed laceration of right arm and white exudate (pus)?

A

PUS: rules out viral infection and intracellular bacterium. Extracellular: pathogen would be via MHC class II pathway. CD4 cells. B cells and dendritic cells can take up bacterial, but macrophages take them up much more efficiently. B cells would have to have a BCR that has specificity for that single pathogen.

60
Q

Highly prone to activate self-reactive T cells, variety of autoimmune conditions developed. most likely cause?

A

Lack of T reg cell functionality. self-reactive effector CD4 T cells subset. Recognize cognate peptide determinant, produce anti-inflammatory cytokine TGF-beta that acts on nearly T cells that prevents from being activated (prevents activation of self-reactive T cells). FoxP3 drives expression of TGF-beta by Treg cells.

61
Q

GATA-3 drives cytokine expression by

A

TH2 effector cells

62
Q

T-bet transcription factors drive cytokine expression by

A

TH1 effector cells.
