Micro Exam 3
Adaptive Immune System April 15th
| Definition | Term |
|---|---|
| Th1 - INF-γ, IL-12 Th2- IL-4, IL-10 | Cytokines are both in the innate and adaptive systems. They are crucial to in leukocyte development via... |
| leukocyte migration | Chemokines stimulate what? |
| Bind Ig motifs and extracellular matrix. Strengthen contact between leukocytes and other cells. | Adhesion Molecules: INTEGRINS function to do what jobs? |
| Aid newly differentiated lymphocytes to migrate to lymph nodes. Initial binding steps lead to diapedesis (crossing blood vessel). Limited to their distribution in the body. | Adhesion Molecules: SELECTINS and ADDRESSINS function to do what jobs? |
| Selectin - L-selectin | An example of a selectin is? |
| Addressin - GlyCAM-1 | An example of an addressin is? |
| Six (6) polypeptides associated with the TCR. Transduces transmembrane signaling when TCR engaged. Signaling cascade initiates T-cell responses. | Cluster of Differentiation of Molecules: CD3 roles include... |
| Single chain Ig supergene family. Expressed on 2/3 of mature T cells. CD4 recognize the nonpeptide binding domains of MHC II. | Cluster of Differentiation of Molecules: CD4 roles include... |
| CD4 | Cells expressing ___ are known as T-helper cells (Th) cells. |
| CD4 & CD8 | Which molecules are associated with intracellular kinases and synergized with the TCR for T-cell activation? |
| Two chain cell surface molecule. Homo or heterodimer (αα or αβ). Expressed by about 1/3 of mature T cells. | CD8 is a... |
| CD8 recognizes and attaches at the nonpeptide binding portion of MHC I bc it is a coreceptor. CD8+ T cells only recognized pMHC I. | CD8 recognizes what? |
| Known as cytotoxic T (Tc) and suppressor T (Ts) cells. | CD8 molecules are known as what? |
| IL-4 : the driving force of allergic responses | This cytokine is important in differentiation of Th2 responses. |
| diapedesis, rolling motion through blood vessel, and tighter binding to other cells | Selectins and Addressins play a role in? |
| Increase in expression | During an inflammatory response, you would expect adhesion molecules such as integrins, selectins, and addressins to? |
| Membrane bound. Associated with CD3 to initiate signaling. | T-cell receptors are: |
| CAN NOT bind soluble eptiopes | T-cell receptors CAN NOT do this. |
| Recognize epitopes when presented in MHC molecules (peptide-MHC, pMHC). | T-cell receptors can recognize epitopes when presented in what molecules? |
| a variable and constant region domain. | Each TCR polypeptide chain contains what 2 structural components? |
| Variable domains | In T-cell receptors, these domains together with the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) interact with pMHC. |
| Intracellular antigens. | CD8+ T-cells interact with MHC-I and are ___ antigens. |
| Extracellular antigens. | CD4+ T-cells interact with MHC-II and are ___ antigens. |
| MHC I or II | A TCR requires this molecule to sense peptide epitopes. |
| Epitope | T-cell receptors are ___ specific like immunoglobulins? |
| T-cell | Heterodimers are αβ and γδ, which are only expressed on one type of cell. Which cell is it? |
| 1 variable and 1 constant | Each polypeptide of a T-cell receptor has __ variable region and __ constant region. |
| Deletions, Inversions, and Junctional diversity. | DNA rearrangement of TCRs include/TCR diversity: (3) |
| deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) | What enzyme does the addition and removal of nucleotides by deoxynucleotides? |
| 14 and 7 | T-cell receptor gene clusters are found on which 2 chromosomes? |
| Light chains α and γ. Heavy chain β and δ. | T-cell diversity includes: |
| 3 million | How many αβ variable region possible recombinations are there? |
| 600 | How many γδ variable region possible recombinations are there? |
| random rearrangement of V(D)J genes through deletion and inversion | What level of T-cell diversity is the FIRST level? |
| Tdt transferase which creates junctional diversity | What level of T-cell diversity is the SECOND level? |
| Deletion of intervening mRNA joins V(D)J with C regions. C regions = constant regions | During T-cell diversity, deletion does this. |
| Unique specificity | T-cells randomly generate TCRs with this special feature. |
| NO isotype switching. NO somatic hypermutation. | T-cells DO NOT undergo subsequent changes like immunoglobulin genes. They don't do the following: |
| TdT transferase | This enzyme is responsible for junctional diversity. |
| FIRST level | What level of T-cell diversity do recombination activating genes (Rag-1 or Rag-2 recombinases) occur? |
| TdT transferase. | This enzyme(s) is important for junctional diversity by adding or subtracting nucleotides during V(D)J recombination. |
