T cell RECEPTOR COMPLEX HELPERS Flashcards
signal transduction unit for the TCR
CD3
aka CTLA-4 for binding to B7 protein on the APC to deliver a co stimulation or an inhibitory signal to the cell; no binding here means you will not get a response
CD28
aka CD154 for binding to CD40 on dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells to promote their activation
CD40L
initiates apoptosis in a target cell that express FAS on its surface
FasL
leukocyte function associated antigen 1, interacting with intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAM-1) on the target cell
the binding to ICAM-1 causes the interaction between the T cell and target cell to tighten
LFA-1
this one binds to PD-L1 and inhibitory processes
PD-1
cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated protein
CTLA-4
