Test 1: lecture 7 + 8 T cells cont. Flashcards
T cells are generated by ___
random recombination
activation of T cells requires ___
antigen presenting cell to have the correct:
MHC pepide antigen
costimulatory molecules (CD80, CD86)
cytokines-
CD80 or CD86 binds to ___ on the t cell
CD28
(costimulatory molecules)
what types of cells have MHC class 1
almost all types of cells
CD8 T cells can see these → cytokines or direct lysis of target cells
CD4 T cells can produce ___
help B cells
cytokines
what kind of T cells lead to lysis
CD8
can see MHC class 1
what type of cells have class II MHC?
antigen presenting cells such as:
B cells
Macrophages
DC
as well as epithelial cells of the thymus
class 2 → CD4 → helper B cells and cytokines
Class II is involved in activation of other cells of the immune system
class I pathways gets pathogens from the ___
inside (cytosol)
class II MHC get pathogens from ___
outside cell
__ pathway - peptides from the cytoplasm gain access to this pathway (endogenous).
Class I MHC
CD8 T cells → cytokines and lysis
___ pathway - peptides are within acidified endosomes. They are derived from proteins or pathogens that have been phagocytosed. Thus, they come from outside of the cell (exogenous).
•Class II
CD4 T cells → cytokines and helper B cells
Class I pathway
class 1= intracellular pathogen= CD8 = cytokines and lysis
. Class I made in Endoplasmic Reticulum.
- intracellular proteins from pathogens are degraded by proteasomes.
- Peptides are transported into the ER by TAP (Transporters assoc. w/ Ag processing.
- Peptides bind to Class I
- Peptide loaded Class I molecule goes to cell surface and is expressed .
Class II pathway
Class II = CD4 Tcells = helper B and cytokines
- Class II made in ER
- Invariant chain protects from peptide loading in ER, and targets endosome.
- outside /extracellular Pathogen or Proteins are taken into acidified vesicles and proteases degrade antigen to peptides.
- Invariant chain is degraded, and Class II can bind peptide.
- Peptide loaded Class II molecule is expressed on surface.
invariant chain prevents the breakdown of ___ when it moves from ER to ___
class II
acid vesicle
where do T cells come from?
where do they mature?
from bone marrow → thymus to mature (self vs nonself) → secondary lymphoid tissue (lymphnodes, spleen) to wait for pathogen to trigger
3 main events in the thymus
- TCR gene rearrangement
- Cell selection- positive and negative selection.
- Acquisition of T cell markers (CD4, CD8).
thymus
positive selection in the thymus
•ensures that T cells recognize self-MHC.
T cells that are unable to identify self MHC are killed, the left over T cells that CAN see self MHC are positively selected for
Negative selection in thymus
eliminates many of the T cells that recognize self antigen
T cell presented with self and non self antigens. Those that react to self antigens are killed. Leaving only those that react to non-self
positive selection of T cell
T cell that CAN see self is kept.
negative selection
cells that bind to self antigen are killed
explain + and - selection in thymus
T cells that can identify self MHC are positively selected for. those that can not see self MHC are killed
T cells that react to self antigen are killed. T cells that do not react to self antigen are kept (negative selection)
T cells undergo tolerance induction outside the thymus by ___
peripheral tolerance
anergy
Autoimmune regulator: AIRE- a transcription factor expressed in the thymus that leads to transcription of a wide range of organ-specific genes that are usually only expressed in the ___ tissues
peripheral
how to determine CD4 or CD8
baby T cells have both
in the thymus, pre-T cell will bind to class I or class II
if it binds to class I → CD8+
if it binds to class II→ CD4+
When T cells leave the thymus they have the following characteristics
- They are MHC restricted. (only respond to class I or class II)
- They are self-tolerant (do not react to self antigen)
- They are either CD4 (class 2) or CD8 (class 1)
____ are extensively pleiotropic- having multiple phenotypes, redundant, primarily involved in local effects. They also have a short half-life in vivo, Receptors with several chains, nonantigen-specific.
cytokines
•Binding of a ___ to a receptor induces dimerization or polymerization of receptors
cytokine
•Juxtaposition of the cytoplasmic tails allows engagement of intracellular ___
signaling.
•__ kinases phosphorylate tyrosine residues on receptor and on STATs (signal transducers and activators of transcription)
JAK
•STATs dimerize, translocate to ___and bind enhancer regions of genes induced by cytokines
nucleus
how do cytokines work?
binds to receptor
causes dimerization and activation of JAK
this causes phosphorylation of STATs
these dimerize and enter the nucleus and trigger transcription
Xeljanz
Jak3 inhibitor
prevent transcription from cytokine signal
treat RA, alopecia and psoratic arthritis
apoquel is a ___
Jak inhibitor
prevent cytokine signalling
M1 macrophages
interferon gamma tiggers macrophages into classically activated to kill
IL12 trigger T0 → TH1 → produces INF gamma, IL-2, TNF beta → which trigger “killer” macrophages and NK cells
M2 macrophages
macrophages triggered by IL4, 13
wound healing/tissue repair
TH2 cells produce IL13, TH2 mast cells and basophils produce IL4
IL13 + IL4 → T0 → TH2→ produces IL4,IL5, IL10, IL13 → defense against worms, allergies
B cell growth factor, increase TH2, increase IgE isotype, Eosinophil growth factor, inhibit T cells and macrophages, increase wound healing macrophages (type 2)
regulatory macrophages
macrophages that get IL-10
→ anti inflammatory activity
macro, Treg, and other cells produce TGF beta
TGFbeta → T0 → Treg→ will produce TGF beta and IL10
TGF beta→ increases IgA, inhibits immune response, promotes wound healing
IL10→ inhibits T cell and macrophage function
IFN-gamma triggers ___
M1 macrophages to kill
(classically activated)
IFN gamma is made by TH1 and TFH cells, NK and CD8 cells
IL4 and IL13 trigger __
M2 macrophages to become wound healing or tissue repair
TH2 cells produce IL13, TH2 mast cells and basophils produce IL4
IL13 + IL4 → T0 → TH2→ produces IL4,IL5, IL10, IL13 → defense against worms, allergies
B cell growth factor, increase TH2, increase IgE isotype, Eosinophil growth factor, inhibit T cells and macrophages, increase wound healing macrophages (type 2)
