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
