TYPE IV T-CELL MEDIATED Flashcards
this type of hypersensitivity is initiated by specifically sensitize T cells?
type IV T-cell mediated
what are the two types?
delayed type hypersensitivity
T cell mediated cytotoxicity
name this type:
develops in response to antigen challenge in previously sensitized individual
reaction delayed for 12-48 hours
mediated by CD4+ cells
TB, fungi, protozoa, contact skin sensitivity
graft rejection
edema, fibrin deposition
-can use the tuberculin skin test (PPD)
delayed type hypersensitivity
name this type:
sensitized CD8+ cells kill antigen bearing target cells
mediated by CD8+ cytotoxic T cells
respond to viral infection and tumor cells
perforin granzyme system
T cell mediated cytotoxicity
this binds to the plasma membrane of target cell and promotes entry of the granzyme
perforin
proteases that cleave and thereby activate cellular caspases to apoptosis
granzymes
