T Cells Flashcards
1
Q
Th1
A
Activates - blood monocytes that become ‘Angry’ macrophages. (IL-1 and TNF-alpha)
- Activates killer T-cells
- T1 and T17 are proinflammatory
2
Q
T cell conditions
A
° have to be present the site of infections diseases
3
Q
Cytokines
A
- Short-range mediators made by any cell that affect the behavior of the same or another cell (pro-inflammatory)
- IL-1, TNFalpha, IL-12
- Related to Th1
4
Q
Lymphokines
A
- Short-range mediators made by lymphocytes, which affect the behavior of the same of another cell.
- Cytokine subsets.
- Ex : IL-2, IFNgamma, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10
5
Q
Chemokines
A
- Small (6-14 kD) short range mediators made by any cell.
- Primarily cause inflammation.
- Ex : MIP-1 to -4, RANTES, CCL28, CXCL16, Eotaxin, IL-8
6
Q
Th17
A
- new and heavily researched
- Makes IL-17
- Similar to Th1
- Causes inflammation
- Related to autoimmune diseases (like Th1)
- Develops immunity against the bacterial and yeast pathogens
7
Q
Th2
A
8
Q
Tfh
A
9
Q
Treg
A
10
Q
CTL
A
- Kiss of death/ lethal hit
- apoptosis
- rapid DNA fragmentation and nuclear collapse
- death receptors (CD95/Fas- CD95L) on target
- Lytic granules - proteazes called granzymes, perforins
- Th1 - activates IL-2
- These turns in memory cells
11
Q
CD - important surface markers
A
CD3 - all T-cells
CD4 - on T helpers
CD8 - on CTL
C20 - B cells
12
Q
MHC restriction, part I
A
