Block 1 Terms Flashcards
(40 cards)
This is on naive T cells; it recognizes chemokines to bring them to the PALS in spleen and paracortex in lymph node
CCR7
Naïve T cells express & binds to carbohydrate ligands expressed only on the endothelial cells of HEVs.
L-Selectin
This is present on Activated T cells to draw T cells out of the nodes into the blood/circulation
Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors
TNFα
Cytokine that attracts neutrophils. Produced by macrophages and dendritic cells
Cytokine that attracts neutrophils. Produced by macrophages and dendritic cells.
It plays a significant role in linking innate immunity and adaptive immunity
-pro-inflammatory cytokine
TNFα
Cytokine that attracts neutrophils. Produced by macrophages and dendritic cells.
- It plays a significant role in linking innate immunity and adaptive immunity
- stimulates inflammation
IL-1
Cytokine that plays a significant role in linking innate immunity and adaptive immunity
IL-6
This is an example of a Pattern Recognition Receptor in Innate Immunity which activates NF-κB and IRF-3
-they activate microbial function of macrophages
Toll-like receptors
This is an example of a Pattern Recognition Receptor in Innate Immunity
-microbial proteins have these, which are recognized by the receptor on the cell surface
N-formyl methionyl receptor
An example of a Pattern Recognition Receptor in Innate Immunity
- they don’t recognize our self-cell glycoprotein but recognize bacteria
- when these bind their ligands, they trigger phagocytosis of microbes
Mannose Receptor
this is activated by TLRs,
- it is Responsible for genes that activate the cells in the blood vessel in the endothelium that are in the area of the infection; promotes expression of various cytokines and endothelial adhesion molecules
NF-κB
this is activated by TLRs, stimulates production of antiviral type I interferons, cytokines that block viral replication
IRF-3
this is a part of the innate immune system - they go into membrane and form “carpet wormholes” = cell lysis
Defensins
these are important in leukocyte transmigration through blood vessels/inter-cellular junctions of vascular endothelial cells
PECAM-1
Present on Endothelial cells, recognizes carbs on leukocytes
plays an important rold in recruitment of cells to inflammatory sites.
E- Selectin
Cytokine in innate and adaptive immunity
- released by NK cells,
- activates macrophages to kill phagocytosed microbes
IFN-γ
this recognizes microbes coated with C3b (opsonin) to = phagocytosis
CR1
Converts O2 to superoxide anion and free radicals
Phagocyte (NADPH) oxidase
converts arginine to nitric oxide(NO)
iNOS
- Cytokine released by macrophages, recognized by NK cells which secrete IFN-γ for phagocytosis
- stimulaes differentiation into TH1 T-cells
IL- 12
Specific for IgG bound Ab, used in ADCC (antibody- dependent cellular cytotoxicity), recruits NK cells for apoptosis
FcgRIIIA receptor
Activating receptors on NK cells found in cytoplasmic tails
immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs)
- Inhibitory Receptors on NK cells, -Specific for Class I MHC receptors, block signaling from activating receptors
- found in cytoplasmic domains
immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs
(ITIMs)
Secreted by macrophages to work on macrophages and inhibit IL-12
IL-10
