Term
How do CD4+ Helper T cells work?
Definition
phagocyte activation
Term
how do CD8+ cytotoxic T cells work?
Definition
killing cells containing microbes.
Term
when a microbe resists phagocytotic killing and lives in vesicles or cytoplasm, what can they be referred to as?
Definition
microbial parasites
Term
where do you find adhesion molecules and chemokine receptors?
Definition
On the T Cell.
Term
where do you find adhesion molecule ligands and the production of chemokines?
Definition
Endothelium. (increased expression after exposure to microbes).
Term
where are high endothelial venules found?
Definition
lymphoid organs. allow for passage of T cells into node.
Term
how do we get T cells out of lymph node?
Definition
decreasing their level of chemokine receptor expression. (same process as to how they leave the HEV and into a lymph node)
Term
what are the different classes of molecules involved in T cell migration into/out of Lymph nodes?
Definition
Chemokines, chemokine receptors, Adhesion molecules, adhesion molecule ligands. NONE of these are antigen specific.
Term
why allow so many T cells into lymph node?
Definition
maximize ability of T cells to search out microbe since frequency of effector is still relatively low.
Term
when T cells run into an incorrect antigen, do you see an increase in adhesion molecule expression?
Definition
No. The cells simply return to circulation to look for their correct antigen.
Term
Do differentiated effector cells need co-stimulation?
Definition
No! Infected cells don't express co-stimulatory molecules (likeB7). That job is for APCs.
Term
T cell activation =
Definition
T cell + correct antigen
Term
How do CD4+ Th1 cells activate macrophages?
