Lymphocytes and Co-stimulatory receptors Flashcards
(38 cards)
What type of immune response do T & B cells have?
Adaptive
What type of immune response do NK cells have?
Innate
Three lymphocytes?
NK cells = innate
T cells = cellular
B cells = humoral
Lymphocyte locations?
lymphoid organs, bone marrow, lymph nodes, intestine, peyers patches/ spleen, blood
Lymphocytes originate from
bone marrow stem cells
T cells from
thymus
Plasma cells produce
antibodies
B cells are from
Bursa
All adaptive immune response starts in the
secondary lymphoid organs
Memory B cells
recognize antigen & divide in plasma cells
T helper cells that help trigger immune response
Th1, 2, 17
Th1 stimulation will trigger
cellular immune response
Th2 stimulation will develop
antibodies humoral immune response
Th17 stimulation is only
humoral but not as important as Th2
Thymus
- T cells
- Paracortex lymph nodes
- Periarteriolar lymphoid sheets of spleen
- interfollicular areas in peyers patches
- 60-80% lymphocytes in blood
Bone marrow/ Bursa of Fabricus
- B cells
- Follicles in peyers patchs
- Cortex of lymph nodes
- Marginal zone in white pulp of spleen
- 10-40% lymphocytes in the blood
Tolerance
lack of immune response
Effector T cells
cytotoxic T cells to recognize infected cells w/ intracellular pathogens
-works on cancer cells, transplants, skin grafts rejected
B cells
- BCR-immunoglobulin
- immunoglobulins
- free foreign proteins
- Difficult tolerance induction
- Plasma cells, memory cells progeny cells
- immunoglobulins secreted
T cells
- TCR-protein (CD3, CD4, CD8)
- Processed foreign proteins in MHC antigens
- easy tolerance induction
- effector T cells, memory T cells progeny cells
- Cytokines secreted
TCR (T cell antigen receptor) types:
TCR α/β
TCR γ/δ
BCR (B cell antigen recpetor) types:
BCR α BCR γ BCR μ BCR ε BCR δ
Antibodies and B cell receptors are the same except
antibodies are free and B cell receptors are attached to cell membrane
What is the main function of T & B cell receptors?
to bind/recognize specific antigens
