21
Q

What are the two things that a T-Helper cell needs to signal a response?

A
  1. interaction with Ag-MHC-II comples
  2. stimulation by a cytokine interleukin
22
Q

What happens after a T helper cell has been activated?

A

proliferated into clones and differentiates to become:

  1. T Helper cell - secreted interleukins to activate B & T cytotoxic cells
  2. T Helper memory cells
23
Q

What is the advantage to having T helper memory cells?

A

if the invater returns, = much faster secondary immne response

still “virgin” cell

24
Q

Do T helper cell kill cells?

A

No

they cativate B Cells and T cytotoxic cells

the general

25
Q

When an individual is infected by HIV what is going on here?

A

The T helper cells are infected - generals taken out - the army becomes depleated, B cells and Tc cell activation not happening causing secondary illness

26
Q

C cytotoxic cells are directed towards body cells that are _________.

Examples

A

abnormal

Cancer cells, virus or fungi infected

27
Q

What must be in place to activate a Tc cell?

A

interaction with Ag + MHC-I

cytokine IL from THelper

28
Q

Once a Tc has been activated, what are the next steps

A

Proliferation into clones

&

Differentiation to become either Tc clone cell or a Tc memory cell

29
Q

Once a Tc clone cell has become active, what does it do now?

A

Causes self cell death to abnormal cells displaying this specific Ag via

  1. release of perforin - creades holes in cell mb = cell death
  2. release toxdin Lymphotoxin - causes DNA in abnormal cell to fragment = cell death
30
Q

What is the advantage of the Tc memory cells?

A

ready to go once the same Ag presents again

31
Q

What stops this whole cascade of events from spiraling out of control?

A

Regulatory T cells - communicates “slow down, we’re safe”

32
Q

Which kind of immune cell acts against extracellular antigens

A

B cells

33
Q

B cells have ______ on the surface of the cells specific to a ________

A

receptor

antigen

34
Q

What does a B cell require in order to become activated?

A
  1. the interaction of the MHC-II & antigen
  2. Interleukin from B cell, & IL from T Helper
35
Q

once conditions are correct, the B cell ahs interacted with the MHC-II & Ag, plus IL communication b/t THelper and B cell, what are the next steps and outcomes?

A

Proliferation and differentiation

  1. Plasma memory cells = fast 2nd dary response
  2. b/c plasma cells which then secretes antibodies (Ab) or also known as immunoglobulins (ig) that bind down Ag = inactive and ready for macrophages
36
Q

Specific immunitey requires which kind of cells?

A

B cells

T cells

37
Q

What activates an inactive lymphocyte?

A
  • interaction with their Ag

How do B cells and Tc cells differ in their response to invaders?
