TH 1 and 2 Flashcards
1
Q
CD3
A
- molecule expressed on mature T cells
- TCR binds epitope on MHC
- > signaling event occurs after antigen binding
- CD3 activates the t cell to secrete cytokines
2
Q
T cell activation signal 1
A
- TCR binds to epitope on MHC
- > CD3 activates the T cell
3
Q
T cell activation signal 2
A
- Costimulation to induce a T cell response
- > CD28 and CD40L
- Triggers transcription of IL-2 and IL-2R and induces proliferation of T cells
- CD40L interacts with CD40 on APC
- > T helper cells can now make and secrete cytokines that help B and Cytotoxic T cells
4
Q
CD 4
A
- provide help to B cells and cytotoxic T cells (CTLs)
5
Q
Naive lymphocyte
A
- a mature lymphocyte that has not yet interacted with the antigen it can recognize with its TCR
6
Q
Th 1 secretes
A
- IL-2
- Interferon-y
- > activates macrophages
- > promotes CMI** (cell mediated immunity)
- > resistance to intracellular pathogens
7
Q
Th 2 secretes
A
- IL 4-5
- stimulates B proliferation and Ab secretion
- > resistance to extracellular pathogens
- **Humoral Immunity
