Question
Answer
how do T-cells kill other cells   perforin puts holes in cell membranes and granzyme causes apoptosis; class-I restricted recognition assures bystander cells are not killed  
🗑
Th1 cells do what   promote inflammatory rxns  
🗑
Th2 cells do what   help B cells in generating humoral immunity  
🗑
how to NK cells determine who to kill   low levels of MHC-I or abnormal carbohydrates  
🗑
LGL   large granular lymphocytes of which NK cells are a part; lack TCR/CD3 and Ig on surface so they are not T-cells or B-cells  
🗑
ADCC   anti-body dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity; NK cells, macrophages, and neutrophils have Fc receptors on their surface and can then kill cells to which antibody is attached; this is a way in which non-specific cells can kill specifically  
🗑
bare lymphocyte syndrome   absence of MHC-II; repeated severe infections; autosomal recessive; CD4 T-cell lymphopenia (some MHC I reduction); hypogammaglobulinemia; deficient antibody responses; give hemopoietic stem cell transplant  
🗑
T cells involved in graft rejection   Th1/Tc  
🗑
T cells involved in resistence to certain infectious diseases   Th1/Tc  
🗑
T cells involved in DTH skin reaction   Th1/Macrophages  
🗑
T cells involved in GvH   Th1/Tc  
🗑
T cells involved in contact dermatitis   Th1/Tc  
🗑
T cells involved in mixed lymphocyte rxn   Th1  
🗑
HLA haplotypes and their linkage   B, C, A; they are closely linked so crossing over is rare  
🗑
what does CD-4 bind to   class II  
🗑
CD-3   specific marker for T-cells from APC class II complex (it's the mechanism by which the signal is sent)  
🗑
MHC-restriction or MHC-associated recognition   the fact that in order to kill, Tc cells must recognize the antigen as well as “self” through antigen peptide presentation on an MHC molecule  
🗑
three cell types needed for CMI induction   effector cell (Tc), accessory cell (APC), and a helper cell (Th1)  
🗑
MHC class I comes from   endogenous protein  
🗑
MHC class II comes from   exogenous protein  
🗑
what kind of cell expresses class I   target cell  
🗑
what kind of cell expresses class II   APC  
🗑
class I interaction results in what   Tc cell is stimulated to express IL-2 receptors  
🗑
class II interaction results in what   Th1-cell is triggered to secrete IL-2  
🗑
IL-2/Tc interaction   Tc produces the receptor and B-cell produces IL-2; however, the Tc can sometimes secrete its own IL-2 to activate itself  
🗑
autocrine   Tc can produce some IL-2 to activate itself  
🗑
Th1 cell connection to APC   CD-4 and CD-28 on the Th1 cell connect to MHC II and B-7 on the APC cell respectively  
🗑
Th2 activity upon class II presentation   produces IL-4 which stimulates B-cell differentiation into an antibody-producing cell  
🗑
What do Td cells secrete upon class II activation   MCF/MIF and IFN-gamma  
🗑
MCF/MIF   macrophage chemotactic factors produced by Td cells (a subset of Th1 cells)  
🗑
Td cells do what   recruit macrophages, produce cytokines that result in an inflammatory response; responsible for dermititis or tuberculin response  
🗑
IFN-gamma does what   activates macrophages (it's secreted by Td cells)  
🗑
what type of T cells are antigen specific cells   Th cells  
🗑
do all cells    
🗑
bare lymphocyte syndrome   cells that lack a functional TAP transporter express few if any class I molecules on their surface because they can't transport the peptides to the cell's surface  
🗑
how do superantigens work   bind to both the TcR and MHC II without any specificity resulting in activation of the Tc (up to 20% of the body's T-cells)  
🗑
examples of superantigens   TSST-1, staphylococcal enterotoxins, strep, MAS  
🗑
Ir genes stand for what and why are they important   immune response genes code helper T-cells for certain antigens; if the gene is missing, a certain antigen will elicit no response in a host that is normally immunocompetent  
🗑
what is the listeria model   a macrophage with live listeria bacteria inside of it will kill the listeria once the macrophage is activated by a Th1 cell (which releases IFN-gamma)  
🗑
how can immune resistence to listeria be transferred   using lymphocytes but not macrophages since activated macrophages are short-lived  
🗑
MHC I structure   3 alphas, 1 beta  
🗑
MHC II structure   2 alphas, 2 betas  
🗑
TcR structure   Constant alpha, constant beta, variable alpha, variable beta  
🗑
class I and class II crossover   Class I can be released, endocytosed and made into class II; class II can be taken up and turned into class I  
🗑
roll of gap junctions in antigen presentation   virus peptide can cross between cells through gap junctions, called cross presentation  
🗑
large granular lymphocytes refers to what   NK cells  
🗑
pfc   plaque forming cell  
🗑
thymus dependent antigens   most protein antigens and most cell surface antigens (usually glycoproteins)  
🗑
thymus independent antigens   polysaccharides with highly repetitive antigenic determinants  
🗑
Th1 family   Td and Ta; Ta= T-amplifier; Ta stimulates Tc production  
🗑
CD3 is found on what cells   all T cells  
🗑
mitogens   any substance which stimulates a non-cycling cell to undergo mitosis (part of the lectin group)  
🗑
concanavalin A   a lectin (mitogen) which selectively stimulates T-cells to divide in humans and mice  
🗑
pokeweed mitogen   a mitogen for rodent B-cells  
🗑
dth   delayed type hypersensitivity which is the defining characteristic of Td  
🗑
which types of cells adhere to glass or plastic and are relatively resistant to ionizing radiation   macrophages/monocytes (and granulocytes)  
🗑
vaccine type for polio   killed virus  
🗑
vaccine type for MMR   attenuated virus  
🗑
vaccine type for diphtheria   toxoid  
🗑
vaccine type for pertussis   killed bacteria  
🗑
vaccine type for tetanus   toxoid  
🗑
vaccine type for hepatitis B   purified protein  
🗑
vaccine type for influenza   killed virus (injected), attenuated virus in nasal mist  
🗑
vaccine type for smallpox   live virus  
🗑
gell and coombs type I   immediate hypersensitivity; IgE mediated  
🗑
gell and coombs type II   antibody binding to membrane-bound antigen causing complement-mediated cytotoxicity or opsonization/inflammation (often found as hymolytic anemia, hymolytic disease of the newborn and some drug reactions  
🗑
gell and coombs type III   antibody binds to soluble antigens to form immune complexes causing immune complex disease  
🗑
gell and coombs type IV   cell-mediated rxns. Delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH); PPD test for tuberculin is an example  
🗑
DTH   synonym for cell mediated immunity (stands for delayed type hypersensitivity)  
🗑
