| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
