HD Exam 1 Flashcards
IL-7
Nurse cells within thymus.
Transforms stem cells –> common lymphoid progenitor cells.
CD28
on T cell.
Co-stimularoty molecule -associates with APCs
B7-CD48
B7 (aka CD80 and CD68)
on APCs.
Co-stimulatory molecule- associates with T Cell B7-CD48
CD40Ligand
on T cell.
Binds CD40 on APCs surface –>express co-stimulatory molecule or T cell production of cytokines
CD40
On APCs.
Binds CD40L on Tcell
MHC Class I
where??
on surface of ALL nucleated cells (not RBCs)
MHC Class I
do??
Binds viral antigen w/in ER of host (w/ 2 conserved anchor residues)
Displays antigen on cell surface
Interacts w/ CD8+ Killer T cell
MHC Class II
where??
on surface of APCs: dendritic cell, B cell, monocytes (immature macrophages)
MHC Class II
do??
Binds endocytosed antigen (w/ 4 conserved anchor residues)
Displays antigen on cell surface
Interacts w/ CD4+ Helper T cell
LFA-1 (CD11a)
On T cell.
Adhesion molecule that binds ICAM-1 during immuno synapse and migration out of circulation
ICAM-1
on APCs and endothelial cells (along high end post-capillary venules)
Adhesion molecule that binds LFA-1 on T cell during immune synapse
CD34+
on surface of stem cells (in ALL hematopoietic) in bone marrow.
CD7+
on thymocytes at junction bw differentiation into a T cell or NK cell
CD56+
on NKT (Natural Killer T cell) unique to NKT
CD1+
on pre-T cells.
commits the T cell to T lineage
CD25+
on T reg cells
unique to T regs
FOXN1
transcription factor in 3rd pharyngeal pouch endoderm
Stimulates maturation of thymic epithelium
AIRE
transcription factor in mTEC (medullary thyme epithelial cells)
Stimulate production of antigen in mTEC that mirror antigen seen in endocrine organ
makes sure T cells are not reactive to other self-antigen not present in thymus
FOXP3
transcription factor in Treg cells
stimulates production of Treg cells from CD4+ T cells
TGF-β
transforming growth factor β
released from APCs
Induce at periphery: CD4+ T cell –> Treg cell
In presence of IL-23 and IL6 –> Th17 respone
