1
Definition of naive T cells
Fully-developed T cells found in lymphoid organs that have not been activated by cognate interaction
2
Time for a naive T cell to make a full circuit
~24 hours
3
Naive T cell circulation circuit
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
1) Lymph node
2) Enters efferent lymphatics
3) Efferent lymphatics empty into thoracic duct
4) Thoracic duct returns lymph to blood
5) Enter lymph nodes through HEV
4
Where can naive T cells never be?
Afferent lymphatics leading to tissue, tissue
5
Area of an artery with the least shearing force
Marginal pool (edges of artery)
6
What is tissue-specific migration of T cells called?
Homing
7
Do selectins or integrins bind with higher affinity?
Integrins
8
T cell surface molecule used for rolling
L-selectin
9
T cell surface molecule used for adhesion to endothelial wall
LFA-1
10
Another name for L-selectin
CD62-L
11
What is CD62-L?
L-selectin
12
What does L-selectin bind to?
Addressins
13
Addressin to HEV
GlyCAM-1
14
Addressin to endothelial cells
CD34
15
Addressin to endothelial cells in gut-associated lymphoid tissues
MadCAM-1
16
Where is GlyCAM-1 used as an addressin?
HEV
17
Where is CD34 used as an addressin?
Endothelial cells
18
Where is MadCAM-1 used as an addressin?
Endothelial cells in gut-associated lymphoid tissue
19
Chemokines associated with T cell diapedesis
CCL21, CXL12
20
Integrins
1)
2)
3)
1) Bind tightly to ligands
2) Signal through conformational changes
3) Large family of molecules, alpha and beta subunits
21
What does LFA-1 bind to?
ICAM-1
22
ICAM-1 minding molecule
LFA-1
23
What stimulates a naive T cell to become more adhesive to endothelial walls?
T cell hitting arterial wall causes conformational change in adhesion molecules
24
What do naive T cells always express at a high level?
CCR7
25
Where in a lymph node do HEV lie?
Paracortex
26
How do naive T cells enter lymph nodes?
1)
2)
3)
1) Through HEV, into paracortex
2) Attracted to DCs with CCL19, CCL21 with CCR7
3) Probe DCs for antigen
27
Name of cluster of adhesion and costimulatory molecules between a T cell and a DC
Immunological synapse
28
What is an immunological synapse?
Collection of integrins, MHC/TCR, CD28/CD80/86 and other molecules between T cell and DC
29
How long do cognate T cells and DCs bind together for?
Hours
30
