Cards

Term
CMI response target?
Definition
Destruction & elimination of intracellular or cell-associated Ag
Term
T cytotoxic(Tc)-cell:
Definition
Majority of Tc cells are CD8^+ T cells( small subset are CD4^+ T cells)
Term
CD8^+ Tc cell bind to?
Definition
Ag peptide:MHC I complex via TCR
Term
The ultimate terminally differentiated effector cell of the T cell-mediated immune response is?
Definition
The CYTOTOXIC T Lymphocyte (CTL), which is capable of directly killing target cells. Memory Tc cells/CTL-Ps are also generated
Term
________ are unable to kill cells & so are also referred to as CTL precursor or CTL-P.
Definition
Naive Tc Cell
Term
Type 1 T helper(Th1) cells:
Definition
Th cells are required for maximal activation of naive Tc cells interacting w/activated Dendritic cells (APCs) but not virus-infected DCs
Term
In general, memory CTL-Ps Do NOT require Th cell help because they can?
Definition
Locally produce sufficient IL-2 & express IL-2R once activated
Term
Th1 cells function as effector cells secreting cytokines such as?
Definition
IL-2 & IFN-y
Term
Ag-Presenting Cells(APC):_________ are important APCs for Th cells & Tc cells(CTL-Ps) in the CMI response...presenting Ag-peptide w/MHCII & MHCI, respectively
Definition
Dendritics Cells(&MAcs)
Term
Other "Ag-presenting cells" include the ultimate target cells of the CMI response...?
Definition
"non-self" cell, tumor cell or virus-infected cell...presenting Ag-peptide w/MHCI
Term
Th cells are________ & Tc cells are________.
Definition
1)MHCII-restricted
2)MHCI-restricted
Term
Ag Stimulating Tc CMI Response:
Definition
Ag stimulating CMI responses are cell associated Ag because peptide:MHC on surface of cell
Term
Graft rejection most strongly targeted difference at MHCI & to lesser degree, MHCII on foreignor non-self cells surfaces referred to as?
Definition
Alloreactivity
Term
Early in the MLR lymphocyte proliferation is the major event indicating that the 2 lymphocyte population are?
Definition
Allogenic/ differ at the MHCII genotypes-Why?...AlloMHC II dependent
Term
Later in the MLR cytotoxicty becomes the MAJOR event indicating tht the 2 lymphocyte population are?
Definition
Allogenic/differ at the MHC I genotype-WHy? AlloMHC I-dependent
Term
Alloreactivity can also result from?
Definition
the release of alloMHC Ag as foreign cells die, which can then be taken up, processed and presented by dendritic cells to the appropriate T cells---GRAFT REJECTION
Term
Intracellular Pathogen:
Definition
A major "natural" function of Tc cells is to target Ag associated with intracellular pathogen
Term
Abnormal self or tumor Ag:
Definition
can be processed and presented w/MHC I on tumor cell surfaces and shed to be taken up, processed and presented by APCs with MHCII leading to stimulation of CTL-P & Th cells---Tumor rejection
Term
Sensitization phase:
Definition
Generation of CTL from naive CTL-P...also generation of Th cells from CD4 Th cells
Term
Sensitization phase also generates...?
Definition
memory Th and Tc cells
Term
IFN-gamma from Th1 cells & CTLs increase?
Definition
CTL activity
Term
Effector cells:
Definition
CTL mediated lysis of target cell; Cytokine secretion by both Th1 cell & activated CTL-P/CTL
Term
Cytotoxicity requires 2nd binding of CTL to same Ag:MHC I on target cell to form a...?
Definition
CTL:target cell conjugate, which exocytosis of granule contents leading tot target cell apoptosis
Term
Release of _____&______ leads to formation of pores/channels in the target cell membrane that allow GRANZYMES to enter target cell.
Definition
1) Perforin
2) Granulysin
Term
Granzymes & Fas ligand binding to Fas receptor...
Definition
triggers apoptotic pathways leading to target cell death
Term
Directional release of granular components protect___from the actions of these factors allowing___ to dissociate from the target cell & move on to another target cell.
Definition
1&2) CTL
Term
Delayed-type Hypersensitivity(DTH) Response: 1st observed by?
Definition
Robert Koch--tuberculin reation
Term
DTH reflects a____ host immune response.
Definition
normal
Term
Goal of DTH is to?
Definition
generate activated macrophage in order to kill the intracellular pathogen
Term
Cells involved in DTH response: T cells
Definition
Primarily CD4 Tcells-Th1 cells; sometimes CD8 T cells
Term
Production of CYTOKINES CD40L & CHEMOKINES support their own______&_______&________,_______and ___________ Macs and PMNs.
Definition
proliferation
differentiation
activate
attract
replenish
Term
APCS are primarily _____ & ______ cells.
Definition
Macs and Dendritic
Term
APCs activated Th cells...?
Definition
proliferation and differentiation into effector(Th1) cells and memory Th cells--- Sensitization
Term
Effector cells are Th cells that produce_____ +CD40L & chemokines that activates and recruits______.
Definition
cytokines; Macs
Term
Activated(angry) Macrophage:
Definition
Activated by cytokines + CD40L produced by Th1 cell show enhanced phagocytic activity
Term
APC functions
Definition
increase killing of intracellular parasites and increase presentation of associated Ag-peptide
