T Cells III Flashcards
stimuli that activate T cells
MHC/peptide + co-stim, mitogens, agonist antibodies, chemical mediators, superantigens
MHC/peptide + co-stimulatory signal
TCR + CD28, TCR+CD40L
mitogens
PHA, conA (non-specific activation for proliferation)
agonist antibodies
anti CD3 + anti CD28, anti TCR + anti CD28
chemical mediators
PMA + calcium ionophores
T cell activation (proliferation)
requires 2 competence signals and 1 progression signal (3 total)
competence signals
TCR engagement and then a co-stimulatory signal
progression signal
IL-1, IL-4, IL-6, IL-12, TGF-beta
3 signals cause _
activation –> survival –> differentiation
activation
MHC-TCR binding
survival
B7-CD28 binding (B7=CD80)
differentiation
IL-6, IL-12, IL-4, TGF-beta (cytokines)
CD28 vs CTLA-4
CD28 is on naive T cells and CTLA-4 is after activation
CTLA-4
down-regulation; higher affinity for CD80
CD28
proliferation and differentiation
