t cells Flashcards
(35 cards)
Cytotoxic T Cells (CTLs) (CD8+) = ?
killer t cells
what activates killer T cells?
MHC I
CD4+ = ?
helper, and regulatory t cells
these are Activated by MHC II on Antigen Presenting Cells
helper T (CD4)
What secretes: interleukin 2 (IL-2)•Interferon gamma (IFN-γ)•TNF
helper T (CD4)
Secretes IL-10 and TGFβ
regulatory t cells CD4
What must the TCR (t cell receptor) recognize for activation?
what must the Co-receptor recognize?
- cognate antigen
- MHC I or II
If the TCR sees non-self AND gets co-stimulated, the T cell is:
activated
TCR recognizes cognate antigen on MHC with no co-stimulation?
inactivated
TCR recognizes MHC plus self peptides?
apoptosis
Two types of TCR’s?
αβ-traditional(95%)
γδ-non-traditional
whats the name given to the group of signaling proteins
CD3
Most non-traditional T cells do not express either:
CD4 or CD8
what TCR is most abundant in the intestine uterus and tongue?
non traditional
B7 on APC, and CD28 on T cell is for?
co stimulation(activation)
TCR (α,β), and Co-Receptors (CD4 or CD8) are for?
recognition(activation)
CD3 (γ,δ,εand ζ), and CD28 on T cell are for?
signaling(activation)
what type of signal is CD4, what type of signal is CD8?
- help signal
- kill signal
receptor molecule on the T cell. When activated, it amplifies the signal and lowers the number of TCR crosslinks needed for activation?
CD28
what t cells have many rafts? what have few?
- experienced t-many
- naive-few
Remain in blood and lymph (node to node) providing help for B cells and CTLs
Leave the blood and enter battle sites providing help for soldiers on the front line
-roles of helper T cells
communication proteins for the immune system and others:
cytokines
TNF, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, IL-21 are all:
cytokines
senses LPS which is characteristic of Gram-negative bacteria, senses proteins made by certain viruses
TLR4
