Q

ontogeny of T lymphocytes

A

prothymocytes arise in bone marrow, migrate to thymus
thymocytes (in thymus) mature
mature T cells are released from thymus and travel to peripheral lymphoid organs
await activation by antigens in lymphoid organs

Q

TCR

A

T cell antigen receptor
encompasses the proteins on the surface of T cells that allow them to recognize and respond to antigen
30,000 identical copies of TCR on T cell surface
not responsible for MHC restriction (function of CD4 and CD8)
equivalent to antibodies on B cells

Q

CD3

A

cytoplasmic tails of TCR chains are not long enough to act as signal transducers
TCR is dependent on surface proteins (CD3) to transduce signals

16
Q

what produces IL-4

A

IL-4 is thought to be produced by mast cells or antigen-activated T cells

17
Q

early activation events of T cell activation

A

clustering of TCRs with MHC peptide complexes on APC
phosphoinositide pathway, RAS, MAP kinase
protein kinase C and other kinases phosphorylate transcription factors

18
Q

gene transcription in T cell activation

A

transcription factor AP-1 initiates IL-2 cytokine production

IL-2 and IL-2 receptor produced for autocrine growth

19
Q

T cell activation

A

early signal transduction events
gene transcription
mitosis

20
Q

functions of CD4 and CD8

A

cell adhesion molecules
signal transduction
restriction of T cell responses to MHC class II/I

21
Q

TH1 cells primarily secrete

A

IFN gamma

22
Q

TH2 cells primarily secrete

A

IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13

23
Q

TH2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13) promote production of

A

IgE for anti-parasite defense

24
Q

TH1 cytokine (IFN gamma) promotes

A

microbicidal activities of macrophages
B cell production of IgG (microbe opsonization)
with IL-2, IFN gamma generates CTLs

25
Q

CTLs are responsible for killing

A

intracellular microbes (viruses, tumor cells, transplanted tissues)

26
Q

CTL killing

A 
target cell binding and recognition of class I MHC and antigen
CTL activation
lethal hit
disengagement from target cell
death of target cell
27
Q

development of TH17 cells

A

develop from naive T cells when exposed to IL-1, IL-6, and TGF beta
IL-23 stabilizes the phenotype
TH17 cells promote inflammation by producing IL-17 and IL-22

28
Q

principle CTL killing mechanism (perforin/granzyme-mediated cell killing)

A

perforin facilitates delivery of granzyme B to target cell
granzyme B activates caspase pathway
target cell death via apoptosis

29
Q

secondary CTL killing mechanism (Fas/Fas L-mediated cell killing)

A

binding of CTL-expressed Fas ligand to target cell Fas protein
activation of caspases
apoptosis
