Review Book Flashcards
(664 cards)
TCR complex
TCR (alpha/beta or gamma/delta)
Cd3 (epsilon/delta and gamma/epsilon),
2 zeta chains
NKT cell recognize
Lipids in context of Cd1
Costimulatory signal in t cell activation
Cd28 (T cell receptor) with B7-1 (cd80) or B7-2 (cd86)
T cell survival signal
IL-2 with its receptor CD25
Cd80/86 increased/decreased by:
Increased by PAMPs/bacterial products detected by dendritic cells
Decreased by CTLA-4 that pushes out cd28 and binds cd80/86, downregulating it
Mutation causing x-linked lymphoproliferation syndrome (XLP)
Mutation in SAP
SAP binds SLAM and links SLAM to Fyn (linked to cd3 proteins) on activated T cells
EBV in boys with XLP can develop HLH
Zap-70 deficiency cell enumeration
No Cd8 cells
No T cell function
Normal B cells
Normal NK cells
T cell activation signaling sequence
- Antigen binds TCR (via MHC)
- Lck phosphorylates cd3 and zeta proteins, recruiting zap-70
- Zap-70 phosphorylates LAT
- Lat becomes docking site for PLC-1 and Grp2
- Grp2 recruits sos that catalyzes GDP to GTP on RAS —> Mek>erk>Fos>ap-1 transcription factor
- PLC converts pip > DAG and ip3, activates:
A. DAG -> PKC -> NFkB
B. IP3 -> increased intracell Ca via CRAC on cell membrane -> calmodulin >calcinuerin > NFAT > cytokine transcription
BCR complex components
Surface immunoglobulin
Ig alpha and Ig beta chains
BCR signaling cascade
- Lyn P itam (Igalpha/beta), docking for Syk
- Syk (~zap-70 analogue) P BLNK
- BLNK activates ras, rac, plc, btk, grb-2
- Btk + Syk activate PLC -> PIP2 into ip3/DAG
How complement enhances BCR
Antigen opsonized with c3b > degraded to c3d
C3d ligand for cd21(cr2) on B cells
Forms complex - cd21-cd19-cd81
- when binds c3d, complex goes to BCR and activates cascade with enhanced response
Inhibitory receptors in T, B, and NK cells
T cells - ctla-4, pd-1
B cells - fcgammaRIIbeta
NK cells - KIRs
NFkB activators
IL-1, TNF, IL-17, TLR activation
Antiviral Cytokines
Type I interferon (IFNalpha/beta), IL-28A, IL-28B, IL-29
Cellular immunity cytokines
IL-2, , ifn gamma, IL-15, IL-17
Humoral immunity cytokines
IL-7, IL-11
Anti-inflammatory cytokines
TGF-beta, IL-10, il-37, il-38
Cytokines in isotope switching
IL-4 and -13 — IgE
Tgf-beta, il-5 — IgA
Il-10 — igg4
IFN-g - IgG
TNF actions
Acute inflammation (esp GNR)
Recruits neutrophils/monos
Stimulates endothelial cells to express adhesion molecules and induce chemotaxis
Lymphotoxin action
Activates endothelial cells and neutrophils
BAFF action
Survival signals to maturing B cells
Upregulates anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 activation of NFkB
APRIL cytokine action
Upregulates anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 activation of NFkB
Il-1 action at high and low concentrations
Low - local inflammation, endothelial cells increase surface molecules for leukocyte adhesion
High - fever, synthesis acute phase reactants in the liver, neutrophil/plt production in bone marrow
IL-18 source
Macrophages
Dendritic cells
Pro-molecules cleaved by caspase-1
NOT made by T, B, or NK cells
