QuestionAnswer
Cytotoxic T-cells aka: KILLER T-CELLS (NOT same as NK cells)
CYTOTOXICCells - can directly attack cells infected w: 5+ viruses, parasites, cancers, bacteria, transplants, etc...
Primary target-CYTOTOXIC cells: virus-infected cells
Cytotoxic T-cells circulate: in/out of blood vessels
CYTOTOXIC Cells include: (CD8,T8,CTL,Tc) and (ANaB T-cell)
Sequence of attack of Cytotoxic T-cells is: 1)Bind to target & release PERFERIN, LYMPHOTOXIN or TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR (TNF) 2)Detach & search for a new cell 3)Perforin,lymphotoxin or TNF will cause lysis
Perforin provokes cell lysis by: creating transmembrane pores
Lymphotoxin causes lysis by: fragmenting target cells DNA
TNF causes lysis by an: unknown mechanism that cell death within 48-72 hours
CYTOTOXIC t-Cells are CD: CD8
HELPER T-CELLS: CD4, Regulatory (CD4,T4,Th) (ANaB T-cell)
Helper T-cells chemically or directly stimulate: proliferation of other T-cells & B-cells that are already bound to the antigen
Helper T-cells-stimulated to work: by CYTOKINES called lymphokines
LYMPHOKINES are hormone like: soluble glycoproteins released by activated T-cells, specifically INTERLEULIN-2
Lymphokines released by helper T-cells mobilize: immune cells & macrophages, attract other types of WBC's & amplify nonspecific defenses
Some ThCD4's become: T-cell memory (Tm) cells
Th's are said to unleash the: protective potential of B-cells
B-cells are activated as soon as: they encounter an antigen
Some T-cells, require two: controlling steps to become completely activated
Helper T-cells assist both T-cells & B-cells by providing: regulation for thier activation
There are 2 steps to activation: ADHESION & C0-STIMULATION
ADHESION: an antigen is presented & attached to a T-cell or B-cell membrane
CO-STIMULATION: The CD28 receptor on a: cytotoxic T-cell attaches to a B7 receptor on a macrophage or receives chemical activation foam a diff T-cell or a B-cell
Once stimulated (during co-stimulation) it can: proliferate and produce many cytotoxic T-cella as well as T-memory cells
ANERGY refers to the fact that: if a T or B cell does not get proper co-stimulation it will not activate
SUPPRESSOR T-Cells are: regulatory (CD8,Ts) (ANaBT-cell)
Which T-cell has inhibitory action and what do they do: supressor; they release luymphokines that suppress both B & T cells.
Suppressor (regulatory) T Cells are: vital for shutting down immune response when emergency ends
CYTOTOXIC T-cells AKA: Effectors

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:
