Lecture 15 complete Flashcards
(73 cards)
What are restricted to I MCH
CD8+
What do CTLs recognize?
class I MHC- associated peptidse
What do naive CD8+ T cells recognize?
peptide Ags presented by Dc in the lymph nodes
What kind of antigens does CD8 recognize?
viruses and tumors
What are exogenous Ags?
derived from ingested infected cells, tumor cells, or their proteins are transferred into the cytosol for processing, loading and pressentation in Class I MHC molecules
Navive CD8+ cell initially recognize what signal?
Ags signal 1.
What is required for proliferation and differentitation into effector CTLS up after signal 1?
Signal 2 from costimulation CD28-CD80
What cytokines does CTLs secrete?
IFN gamma
what does IFN gamma do?
activates macrophages
What transcriptional facotr is involved in CTLs?
T bet
What does T bet do?
regulates transcription of genes encoding perforin, granzymes, and IFN gamma
Where does signal 3 come from?
CD4+ helper cells form cytokines that enhance activation of CTLs
When are T helper cells required for activation of CD8+?
When relatively weak innate immune reaction are evoked by latent viral infectiosn, organ transplants, and tumors
What is more important in the activation of CD8+ than memory CD8+?
CD4+ T helper cells
What do CD4+ recognize?
APC presenting Ag by MHC class II and delivering signals via CD80/CD86 and CD40
What expresses CD40L?
CD4+ Th cells
What does the CD40-CD40L interaction do?
UPregulation expression of CD80/86 on professionoal APCs which makes them more efficient at stimulating the differentiation of CD8+ cells
-CD4 and 8 do not have to come in contact with the APC at the same time.
What does IL2 do?
Promotes proliferation and differentiation of CD8 into CTLs and memory cells
What will activated CD8+ express?
High levels of alpha subunit of IL 2R after activation
-shares common receptor component with IL15 and IL21
What stimulate the differentiation of naive CD8 cells inot effector CTLs.
IL-12 and IFN type I
Naive CD8 T cells proliferate in response to TCR and CD28, but also requrie?
IL12 or IFN I for survival and development of optimal effector functions
What produes IL 15?
DCs and tissue Mo
What is IL 15 important for?
survival of CD 8 cells
What produces IL 21?
activated CD4+. plays a role in the induction of CD8 memory and prevention of CD8 exhaustion
