Cytotoxic T Cell Lecture Review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What kind of cell can carry MHCI structures? | all nucleated cells |
| How is an MHC1 structure different from an MCH2 structure? | MHC1 presents peptide chains from things going wrong inside the cell- MHC2 displays the peptide chains from pathogens that were taken into the cell to be lysed. |
| When a cell presents a MHC1 complex, what type of cell responds? | Cytotoxic T-cell |
| Are cytotoxic T cells specific or nonspecific? | Specific, they have to have a variable portion that matches the proteins being produced by the damaged cell |
| When activated, what does a cytotoxic t-cell do? | Activate and begin forming memory and effector Cytotoxic T Cells |
| When an Effector Tc binds to a sick cell, Perforins are released by the effector Tc. What do they do? | Make little holes in the membrane of the cell (killing it) |
| What kind of cell kills things floating in the humeral environment? | B cells |
| What kind of cell kills other cells that are infected or cancerous? | Cytotoxic T cells |
| When we call a cell a T-cell, what are we actually saying? | Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes |
| When we call a cell a B-cell, what are we actually saying? | B-lymphocyte |
