| Tap1/Tap2 | protiens(of exogenous pathway)in ER membrane that act as gates to proteosome digested Ag into the ER, and bind MHC I associated protiens to facilitate/regulate loading MHC. other ER protiens are calnexin, Erp57, calreticulin, and tapasin. |
| package of MHC I peptides | partially folded MHC I binds to calnexin. B2 microglobulin binds and tapasin binds the complex to TAP1/2. Erp57/calreticulin bind, releasing calnexin. peptide via Tap1/2 is ANCHORED AT ENDS OF CLEFT and Erp57,calreticulin released. loaded MHC-->cell mem. |
| Package of MHC II peptides | Recycled MHCII is primed with invariant chain in ER-->vessicles, invariant chain cleaved to clip frag. HLA-DM releases clip and holds open MHC. fused lysozome w/ peptides-->peptide anchored ALONG LENGTH of cleft, HLA-DM released. MHC-->cell membrane |
| cytokine IGF-1 | from bm stromal cell that signals late pro-Bcell to Large pre-Bcell |
| What cytokines are needed to make Th1 cells | IL 12 and INF-g. note: Th1 cells secrete INF-g that inhibits Th2 proliferation note: Th1 cells activates Macrophages to kill (oxidative burst) internal bacteria and induces bcells to produce opsonizing Ab |
| What cytokines are needed to make Th2 cells | Th2 secrete TGF-b and IL10 -->inhib activation of Th1 cells. note: Th2 cells activates Bcells to make nuetralizing Ab; also have various effects on macrophages |
| principle cytokines for acute phase response | IL1, 6 and INF-g-->fever, activation of compliment (CRP are like C1, mannose 6p-->alt.pathway), PMN mobilization, energy mobilization, migration DC to lymph nodes. |
| what is required to send B-cells thru Sphase | the second (AND MAJOR) signal for bcell activation CD40 (on bcells) binding CD40Ligand on Th2 cells. Cytokines IL-2, 4, and 5 also drive proliferation. |
| CDR | where the Ag binds. has 3 regions per subunit. has some constant regions and some hypervariable regions that play a part in affinity maturation as well as Ag recognition diversity |
| AID (activation-induced Cytidine Deaminase | allows for isotype switch and hypermutation rates. w/o AID= no switch and monoclonal Ag produced |
| super antigen | bind outside MHC:TCR binding clefts, on the constant regions themselves, and activate large groups of tcells. toxins and some viruses do this. |
| t cell adhesion molecules | tcells bind/roll along using weak interactions with thier LFA-1. if TCR binds, LFA- 1 conformation changes allowing stronger binding |
| IL-2Receptor | Tcell receptor with 3 subunits. g,b subunits (weak affinity for IL2) normally present. a subunit induced w/ expression of IL-2(autocrine) |
| principle cytokines produced by Tc's | INF-g, TNF-a, TNF-b |
| principle cytokines produced by Th1's | INF-g, GM-CSF, TNF-a, CD40L, Fas ligand |
| principle cytokines produced by Th2's | IL4, 5, 15, CD 40L |
| Complement Receptors (CR) | found on most cells; allows binding of complement for phagocytosis (macrophages or part of CD3d on bcells), or for clearing bacteria (on RBC's) in liver kupfer cells. |
| C1 inh | binds to C1qrs and breaks the sub units up. HANE (hereditary angioneurotic edema) have reduced levels of C1inh=> get edema in skin, gut and airways due to stress |
| C4 binding Protien | Binds C4, dissociates C4C2, and allows Factor I to cleave C4= inactive |
| MCP | found on human cell surface that binds C3 convertase: dissociates C2 from C4 and makes C4 target for factor I |
| DAF | found on human cell surface, binds to C3convertase, and dissociates C2a from C4b |
| CD59 | found on human cells surfaces, binds C5, 6, 7, 8 complex and prevents recruitment of C9=> no pore formation |
| PAMPs | pathogen assoc. molecular patterns bind with MBLs to activate the mannose binding - complement pathway |
| SIGN-R1 | lectin in spleen that captures microbial polysaccharides |
| plasma protease inhibitors | alpha 2 macroglobulin and serpin that change conformation when encountering protease to 'trap' by covalent binding |
| cytokines released from Macrophages | IL1b (fever), TNFa (Fever), IL6 (lymphocyte activation/ Ab production), CXCL8 (chemotaxis of WBCs), IL12 (activates NK's, Tcells->Th1) |
| septic shock | caused by activatio of macrophages in liver releasing cytokines systemically causing DIC, multiple organ failure, hypovolemia, and neutropenia. |
| process of Lymphocytes leaving Blood vessel | 1. rolling adhesion 2. tightbinding 3. diapedesis 4. migration |
| acute phase protiens | CRP, fibrinogen, and mannose binding lectin |
| NK activation/inhibition | must have both inh. signal (via MHC I) and activation signal (receptor +ligand (HLA-A, B, or E) |
| What is protien MIC | Molecules expressed on intercellularly infected "stressed" cells that bind Tcellsd:g, or NK cells |
| CD 45RO | form of CD45 that is expressed in memory bcells. |
