23
Q

cytokine stimulation of B cells

A

locally acting cytokines (IL-4 from Th2) act early in activating Ag-specific B cell (clonal selection)

24
Q

differentiation of activated B cells

A

clone of activated Ag-specific B cells will proliferate (clonal selection and expansion) and develop into plasma or memory B cells

25
plasma cells aka
antibody secreting or antibody forming cells
26
what is clonal expansion
clone of B cells specific for the Ag will multiply to great numbers
27
clonal expansion produces
mostly plasma cells and small number of memory B cells
28
features of plasma cells
produced in greater number, surface Ig absent, short lifespan, actively secrete Ab
29
features of memory b cells
small numbers, surface IgG/IgA present, long life span years long term immunity
30
thymic independent antigens are
capable of activating without Th cells
31
two types of TI antigens
TI-1 and TI-2
32
TI-1 antigens can
activate multiple clones of immature and mature B cells leading to polyclonal activation (non specific antibody response)
33
eg of TI-1 antigen
bacterial lipopolysaccharide
34
what are B cell mitogens
TI-1 antigens that induce B cell to undergo mitosis
35
what are TI-2 anitgens
large polymeric molecules with highly repetitive structures (eg epitotes)
36
eg of TI-2 antigens
bacterial capsular polysaccharides
37
TI-2 antigens can
crosslink B cell antigen receptor (surface Ig) on mature B cells leading to activation
38
why is immune response not effective against TI-1 antigens
antibodies produced are non specific
39
superantigens are
protein antigens that stimulate Th cells without being processed into peptides by APC
40
how do superantigens work
intact antigen bind directly to TCR and MHC II molecules enabling them to stimulate large number of T cells (2-20% of all T cells)
41
results of superantigen
massive production of cytokines produced by Th causing systemic toxicity and immunosuppression
42
eg of superantigen
staphylococcoal toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 TSST-1
43
effects of TSST-1
excessive amounts of cytokines-> systemic inflammation, hypotension and shock
44
thymocytes that mature in thymus differentiate into
cytotoxic T lymphocytes
45
what are CTL/Tc
CD8 +ive capable of killing abnormal cells (tumor or infected with intracellular pathogens virus)
46
CTL/Tc / killer T cells responsible for
cell mediated immunity
47
development of cytotoxic T cell response
abnormal cell expresses antigenic peptide in class I MHC on cell surface
48
what are the immunological synapse (interface) btwn Tc to abnormal cell
CD8 to MHC I | TCR to antigen
49
describe killing of abnormal cells by CTL
Tc bearing Ag-specific TCR activated and proliferate because of cytokines like Il-2. Tc seek out abnormal cells and destroy them by releasing granules
50
what do granules of Tc contain
perforins like granzymes
51
what are perforins
pore forming proteins related structurally and fnally to complement C9
52
how does perforin work
Tc insert perforins into membrane of abnormal cell --> lysis and death
53
what and where are granzymes found
group of enzymes found in granules of Tc, NK and lymphokine activated cells (LAK)
54
how do granzymes work
enter through holes created by perforins, degrade foreign proteins, trigger apoptosis and DNA degradation
55
fn of cell mediate immune response (Tc mediated response)
destruction of cells infected with intracellular microbes, defense against fungi, protozoa and parasitic worms, graft/acute rejection, destruction of tumor cells
56
what is TIL therapy
tumor infiltrating lymphocyte therapy for cancer
57
lymphocyte activated killer is
Tc and NK cells taken from patient's peripheral blood
