Q

What is the main function of the follicular helper Tfh T-cells?

24
Q

What master transcription factor generates cytokines in Treg T-cells?

25
Q

What is the main function of the Treg T-cells?

A

Suppress activation and function of all other T-cells; known as antihelpers

26
Q

Describe IPEX.

A

Regulatory T-cells are not working properly to turn off the immune response

27
Q

How is the kiss of death or lethal hit initiated y Cytotoxic Killer CD8+ T-cells?

A

Through the Fas (CD95) - Fas (CD95L) ligand interaction, the target cell has been given the signal to undergo apoptosis through DNA fragmentation and nuclear collapse.

28
Q

How are Cytotoxic T-Cells activated?

A

Contact in the lymph node with antigen-presenting dendritic cell and IL-2 from Th1 T-cells

29
Q

What markers on the cell surface of B-cells are used to fluorescently identify them?

30
Q

What markers on the cell surface of T-cells are used to fluorescently identify them?

31
Q

How are T-cells restricted?

A

Only recognize specific antigen on cells that are genetically identical to themselves (MHC)

32
Q

What do APC Dendritic Cells express?

A

High levels MHCII

B7 (co-stimulatory molecule)

33
Q

How must APC macrophages be activated?

A

Phagocytosis to express MHCII

Co-stimulatory molecules

34
Q

What do B-cells express and how must they be activated?

A

MHC II

Antigen binding to antibody prior to co-stimulatory molecules

35
Q

How are TCR activated for signal transduction?

A

CD3 and DC cytokines

36
Q

LFA-1 (leukocyte functional antigen)

A

ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule

37
Q

CD2 bind to?

38
Q

Somatic Mutation in T-Cells

A

Addition of 0-6 nucleotides by TdT can be added between the V-D or D-J domains

39
Q

How are T-cells selected?

A

1) Cannot recognize “self”
2) Not recognize free antigen
3) Recognize antigen peptide plus self MHC

40
Q

What is positive selection of T-cells?

A

T-cells must recognize MHC Class I or MHC Class II molecules (self-restriction)

41
Q

What is negative selection of T-cells?

A

T-cells that recognize self-antigens bound to MHC II are killed (T-cells need to be tolerant to self-antigens)

42
Q

What cytokines can be released by CD8+ T-cells?

A

TNF, Perforin, and Granzymes

43
Q

What are the three “classical” MHC Class I gene loci?

A

HLA-A
HLA-B
HLA-C

44
Q

MHC Class I Structure

A

1 transmembrane domain
3 alpha domains
1 B2 Microglobulin (cell surface)

45
Q

What are the MHC II gene loci that encode 2 peptides (alpha subunit and beta subunit)?

A

DP encodes DP aB
DQ encodes DQ aB
DR encodes DR aB

46
