Q

Genetic mutations in FoxP3 result in

Study These Flashcards
A

deficiency or dysfunction of Tregs

25
Mutations Tregs=
disorder, IPEX (immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked syndrome.
26
a/i Tregs arise
in periphery following activation of Thp and Th0 cells
27
a/i tRegs differentiation requires
TGF Beta
28
Phenotype for a/i Tregs is
CD4+, CD25+, FOXP3+
29
FOXP3 is a transcription factor that
is essentatil for development and function of regulatory T cells
30
a/i Tregs control
immune response to both foreign and to self antigens by down regulating the function of effector CD4+ and effector CD8+
31
three stages of Th17 differentiation
--differentiation which involves IL-1/IL6 and TGF Beta --stabilization(IL12 from dendritic cells and macrophages) --amplification (secreted by TH17 cells growth factor)
32
Role in the immune response against extracellular pathogens not
eliminated by the CD4+ Th1 and CD4+ Th2 effector cells
33
Th17 is effective in
eliminating fungal infections
34
Th17 cells secrete
proinflammatory cytokines IL-17, IL-21, IL-22
35
Th17 induce
the secretion of inflammatory mediators from macrophages and other cells that play a role in inflammation
36
Inflammatory mediators include
various cytokines, chemokines and matrix metalloproteinases
37
memory cells immunosurvey since they
have been presensitized to the immunizing agent that induced their differentiation
38
re-exposure results in
secondary responses in a rapid 1-2 days
39
conditions for memory T cell activation are
less stringent in requirements for adhesion and costimulatory molecules
40
Antigen presenting cells (other than dendritic cells) can serve in
in the capacity of adhesion and costimulatory molecules early in response to antigen reexposure
41
memory cell activation can occur at
the site of antigen contact, rather than in secondary lymphoid tissues.
42
Memory CD4+ T cells secrete
cytokines.
43
Type 2 Cytokines
IL-4,5,6,10,13 and TFG beta -- they support B cell differentiation to plasma cells. --support isotype switching to IgG1 and IGE
44
Thp cells differentiate to
Th1, Th2, a/iTregs, Th17
45
activation of T-cells requires that the antigen
be displayed on the surface of an antigen presenting cell in association with Class II MHC
46
the most effecient antigen presenting cell is
the dendritic cell.
47
The antigen presenting dendritic cell expresses both
MHC class II and costimulatory molecules whose countermolecules are present on the T cell
48
When a T cell interacts with peptide/MHC complexes in the absence of these costimulatory interactions then
the T cell becomes unresponsive
49
ThP express receptors
IL-2 receptors and secrete the cytokine IL-2 that function in both autocrine and paracrine manner
50
interaction with IL-2 and its receptors induces
clonal expansion of antigen stimulated T cells which increase the number of T cells with specificity uniquely recognizing the peptide/MHC class II complex that induced the initial differentiation
51
critical signal in Tcell activation leading to clonal expansion is
CD28- CD80/86 interaction
52
CD28-CD 80/86 interaction triggers
signal transduction events that lead to the stabilization of mRNA for IL-2
53
Type 1 cytokines
IL-2 TNF, IFN gamma, support responses in which macrophages, NKC and CD8+tcells are effectors responsible for delayed type hypersensitivity responses that are manifestations of actibation of memory CD4+ Th1 cells. REQUIRED for immunity against viruses, parasites, fungi and intracellular bacteria
54
Isotype switching requires contribution of
both type 1 and type 2 cytokines
55
6 downregulators of T-cell activation
--elimination of infection --reciptorcal regulation (Th1 and Th2) -- CTLA-4 CD152 interaction --CD200-CD200R interaction --apoptosis -- Tregs
56
CTLA-4 is not expressed
constitutively but peaks two days after the initial T cell activation and disappears by day 4
57
CD200R is expressed primarily on
the cells of the myeloid lineage and on some T cells. 9higher on CD4 and higher on memory than naive.
58
CD200R expression is upregulated on
both CD4+ and CD8+ after stimulation
