T-lymphocytes type of immunity
cellular
B-lymphocytes
humoral
Which lymphocyte requires an antigen presenting cell (b/c)
T-lymphocyte
What is the molecule that t-helper cells release
Interleukin (IL2, IL4)
Which cells does interleukin target
T-cytotoxic, T-helper (autocrine), B-lymphocytes (produce plasma)
Lymphocyte life cycle (5steps)
originate in RBM, maturatiob (b-RBM, t-thymus), become immunocompetent (wait in lymph node), activated by antigen, determine fate (memory or effector)
3 Rs of adaptive immunity
Recognition, response, resolution
MHC1 information
presented on all nucleated cells
recognized by CD8 (on Tc)
respond to endogenous material
display “kill me”
MCH2 information
presented on MPC (macrophages, B-cells, dendritic cells)
recognized by CD4 (Th)
respond to exogenous
self-present to recruit immune army
humoral immunity steps
1st signal: free antigen binds to BCR, B-cell engulfs antigen, presents for Th activation
2nd signal: IL4 released from Th
Activates, differentiates, proliferates
Antigen-antibody binding steps
a NAP can help you CONcentrate
N: Neutralization
A: Agglutination
P: Precipitation
C: Compliment (->RBC)
O: Opsinization (recruit other immune like phagocyte)
N: NK cells
Humoral response/lag time
first is slow IgG and low
second is fast (small lag time) and high IgG concentration
Cellular immunity steps
- positive selection (CORTEX - ET have MCH1&2)
- if bind = pass - negative selection (MEDULLA - TCR)
- if bind = fail - selective CD8/CD4 = immunocompetent T-cell
- increase CD4 = low Tc, high Th
- increase CD8 = high Tc, low Th
Cellular immunity
mature T-cells circulate and seed secondary lymphoid organs
T - cytotoxic information
CD8, MCH1, endogenous
T - helper information
CD4, MHC2, exogenous
Which MPCs have MCH1/MCH2
dendritic cells have both
B-cells only activate Th that only respond to MCH2 antigens
What BIG differentiates Th from B cells
Th NEEEDS first exposure unlike B cells that can just recognize an antigen
What is the downstream effect of a low Th
no effective immune response
How is Th effected by AIDS
HIV decreases Th production which depresses cell immunity
Th>200 cells/mm3 = HIV
T-cytotoxic cell immune steps
1st signal: DC8 binds to MHC1 on MPC AND TCR interacts with nearby antigen
2nd signal:L IL2 released from nearby Th that activates Tc
NEEDS BOTH SIGNALS
Response: specific antigen (viral or cancerous) releases perforin and granzymes = apoptosis of infected cell
B-lymphocyte MHC class
2
four steps for inflammation
pro-inflammatory, vascular change, leukocytosis (margination, diapedesis, chemotaxis), plasma proteins and exudate
opsonization
complement tags phagocytes to increase function
