T-cell Mediated Immunity Flashcards
what on mature naive T-cells is expressed at low levels but during activation expressed at high levels
CD28
what adhesion molecules are on Mature naive T cells
LFA-1 and VLA-4
How do T cells enter lymph nodes
via HEV
what cells are capable of activating naive T cells
Dendritic Cells (DC)
what cells activate memory T cells
B-cells and Macrophages
what is the chemokine receptor for naive T cells?
What is the chemokine receptor for an Activated (effector or memory) T cell?
Naive: CCR7
Activated: CXCR3
What allows LFA-1 (beta-2 integrin) on T-cells to go from low to high affinity integrin
CCR7
describe how T cells come to complete arrest and migrate into lymphoid tissue
We have TCR/HLA Ag recognition –> expresses CCR7 allows LFA-1 (beta-2 integrin) to go from low to high affinity integrin –> binds tightly to ICAM-1 on APC and comes to stop
What are the chemokine receptors on Endothelial Cells
CCL19 or CCL21
what selectin ligands does an ACTIVATED T cell express?
What selectins do Naive T-cells express? and what does it do
Activated: E and P selectin ligands
Naive: L-selectin –> initial weak adhesion of naive T cells
What are the signaling transduction molecules on a T cell
CD3 –> ITAM (activating)
CD28 –> B7 (co-stimulation)
CTLA-4 –> B7 (CD80) = INHIBITS
PD-1 + ITIM –> PD-L1 = INHIBITS
What does CTLA-4 on the T cell bind with? What does it do?
CTLA-4 binds with B7 (CD80) on APC and INHIBITS
it outcompetes CD28
What does PD-1 and ITIM do on the T-cell
binds with PD-L1 on APC and INHIBITS
ITAMS vs. ITIMS
ITAMS = activating ITIMS = inhibit
What surface molecule on T cells is constitutively expressed
CD28
what is CD80
B7
Describe the signal of T-cell activation.
Once TCR has bound to MHC/Antigen complex (APC), TCR upregulates what which causes?
up-regulates CD40L which binds CD40 (DC) –> causes up-regulation of B7 on DC which binds to CD28 on T-cell and DC secretes cytokines ==> Full T-Cell Activation
What cell is responsible for activating T-cells
Dendritic Cells
