t cells master regulators of adaptive immunity Pt4 (L7) Flashcards
Where is adaptive immunity initiated (3)
Lymph nodes
Payers patch
spleen
How does a T cell get into the right immunological tissue
it will roll along the epithelial blood cells and if the right chemotactic signals and the right adhesion molecules activation will occur
what increases the expression of integrin ligands increasing the strength of T cell adhesion
inflammation
What binds to the MHC AS WELL as the T cell receptor
co-receptors (CD8 or CD4)
Where does affinity maturation not occur
T cells
What would happen if affinity maturation happened in T cells
autoimmunity
priming=
stimulation of naive T cell
Why do T cells proliferate
to gain effector function
What growth factor is used for antigen stimulated T cells (expansion of T cells)
interleukin 2
What does interleukin 2 do
activates CD4 and CD8 proliferation
What is the communication of the immune system
cytokines
name 3 subclasses of cytokines
chemokines
interleukins
interferons
What proximity cells do Cytokines effect most
the ones directly next to them
3 ways cytokines can work
Autocrine activity
paracrine activity
endocrine activity
name 3 things cytokines control
migration
cellular interactions
activation
ect……
