Lecture 6

QuestionAnswer
T regulatory cell -job is suppression: prevent autoimmunity; immune response resolution; enforce tolerance -two types 1.Thymic (natural) T-regs/tTregs/nTregs 2. Peripheral (induced) Treg/pTreg/iTreg
Thymic T-reg 1.Thymic (natural) T-regs/tTregs/nTregs -In thymus bind self-antigen poorly (weak, recognizes itself) -instead of delete -> repurposed to suppressor (ex. antihistamines)
Peripheral T-reg 2. Peripheral (induced) Treg/pTreg/iTreg -Naive CD4+ T-cells (left thymus) -encounter antigen in periphery - APC -became Treg via APC derived cytokines
Follicular Dendritic Cell -long term whole antigen presentation -> binds opsonins (bacon bits) -express levels of Complement receptor 1 & 2 (CR1, CR2) captures complement bound antigen -display to Bcells for Darwinian selection in follicle of lymph node (somatic hypermutation)
Follicular dendritic cells and B-cells B-cells that: -bind native antigen with high affinity -extract from FDC and internalize antigen -present on MHC II to Tfh cells Get: -survival signals Tcell help -another round of mutation -eventually become plasma and memory cells (Tfh)
Germinal centre - dark zone -centroblasts -prolifferating B-cells - Somali hypermutation
Germinal centre - Light zone -FDCs presenting antigen Tfh cells provide signals - select high affinity B cells - class switch if needed -success = exit as plasma or memory cell
Innate Lymphoid cells (ILC) -lymphoid organ -tissue resident -innate immune cells (no TCR or BCR) -fast response -respond to stress signals from: alarmins (from epithelial cells), cytokines (from macrophage, DC, stroll cells), and stress/damage signals
Three types of Innate Lymphoid Cells 1. ILC-1 - sets stage for Th1 cells 2.ILC-2 - sets stage for Th2 cells 3. ILC-3 - like Th17 cells
ILC-1 1. ILC1 - sets stage for Th1 cells -intracellular pathogens -promote type 1 inflammation -activate macrophages via IFN-Y
ILC-2 2.ILC2 - sets stage for Th2 cells -extracellular pathogens -respond to epithelial damage -drives: Helminth defense (eosinophil recruitment) Mucus production Tissue repair
ILC-3 3. ILC-3 - like Th17 cells -Mucosal immunity -> tolerence -mucosa have the 'big guns' o the immune system -exposed to the most: food antigens, microbes, environmental pathogens -Therefor tolerance is important! - repair, promote tolerance
Stromal cells -structural cells of tissues -fibroblasts, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, mesenchymal stroll cells -communicate w/ immune cells via -cytokines -metabolites - tolerance signals

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:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
