t cells Flashcards
T cells only recognize
peptides
T cells only recognize antigen when
“presented”
T cells only react to antigen when placed on
“self” MHC
CD4 T cell role
produce cytokines, activate other cells, direct immune response
CD8 T cell role
kill virus infected cells
CD4 T cells are activated by
antigen presenting cells, MHC class II
B7 protein on APC binds __ on CD4 T cells
CD28
CD4 T cell activation stimulates
B cells, CD8 T cells, macrophages
Th1 cells activate
CD8 cells & macrophages
Th1 cells promote
specific IgG subclasses
__ from macrophages drive Th1 production
IL-12
Th2 cells activate
B cells to produce antibodies
Th1 cytokines
IL-2, INF gamma
IL-2 role
T cell growth factor
INF gamma role
activates Th1 & macrophages
