Term
MHC I: antigen pres to cells
Definition
1) protesome digests intracellular protein products; 2) TAP transported digested protein products to ER & loads them to MHC I; 3) Golgi MHC I + peptide complex go through vesicular traff. via golgi; 4) MHC I peptide presented at cell surface
Term
MHC II antigen pres to cells
Definition
1) MHC II alpha + beta chains made in ER; 2) MHC II bound to invariant chain(w/o invariant chain MHC II will not leave ER); 3) MHC II + invariant chain traff to Golgi; 4) external antigens endocytosed, usually by receptor mediated endocytosis; 5) MHC II vesicles fuse with late endosomes becoming acidifed causing degradation of invariant chain leaving Clip; 6) HLA-DM catalyzes entire Clip peptide
Term
MHC I interacting partner
Definition
CD8
Term
MHC II interacting partner
Definition
CD4
Term
MHC I: source of peptides
Definition
internal proteins, usually degraded by protesome
Term
MHC I: average peptide length
Definition
8-10 amino acids (short)
Term
MHC I: Tissue distribution
Definition
Almost all nucleated cells
Term
MHC I: number of chains
Definition
1 chain (+ beta 2 microglobin)
Term
MHC II: source of peptides
Definition
extracellular space, inmportant in endocytosis
Term
MHC II: average peptide length
Definition
12-18 (long)
Term
MHC II number of chains
Definition
2 chains: alpha and beta
Term
what is cross presentation?
Definition
a rare process found usually in dendritic cells. Means there is an alternate Class I pathway, have leaky endosomes allow extracellular peptides to be presented on MHC I. Alternate MHC II class pathway transported to early endosomes where encounter intracellular peptides.
Term
CD1?
Definition
Like MHC I but binds and presents hydrophobic antigens, e.g. mycobacterial glycoproteins and other lipids
Term
HLA-DM
Definition
Like MHC II, but not polymorphic, helps catalyze CLIP and peptide exchange in late endosome
Term
Naive T cell activation: where?
Definition
secondary lymphoid tissue
Term
drug classes that inhibit T cell signaling
Definition
1) Tacrolimus binds intracellular partner-> inhibits calcineurin 2) Rapamycin inhibits MTOR blocks AP1 activation, inhibits AP1 signal transduction (glucocorticoids also block AP1) 3) Daclizumab-anti-IL2 receptor (humanized mouse antibody)
Term
TH1 effector functions
Definition
promotes killing of intracellular pathogens
Term
Th1: important developmental cytokines and their sources
Definition
IL-12
Term
Th1: cytokines produced by T cell subset
Definition
IFN-gamma (important for macrophages eating and digesting)
Term
Th1: transcription factor regulating differentiation
Definition
T-bet
Term
Th2: effector functions
Definition
stimulate B cells to produce antibody. IgE against multicellular extracellular parasites and allergy
Term
Th2: important developmental cytokines and sources
Definition
IL-4, most important for Th2 development
Term
Th2: cytokines produced by T cell subset
Definition
IL-4, IL-5, IL-13
Term
Th2: trans factor regulating dif
Definition
GATA 3
Term
Th17: effector
Definition
involved in fighting some bacterial and fungal infections (involved in autoimmune processes)
Term
Th17: import deveo cytokines and sources
Definition
IL23, IL6, TGF B
Term
Th17: cytokines produced by T cell subset
Definition
IL-17
Term
Th 17: transcription factor reg diff
Definition
ROR gamma T (orphan trans factor)
Term
Tfoll functions
Definition
provide t cell help (critical to B cell maturation, found in follicles)
Term
T foll important deveo cytokines and their sources
Definition
?
Term
T follicular cytokines produced by T cell subset
Definition
Il-21
Term
T foll Trans factor
Definition
BCL-6 (?)
Term
pathogens targeted by CD8 cytotoxic t cells
Definition
intracellular-viruses, cytokines: INF gamma, TNF alpha and TNF beta
Term
CD8 T cell cytokines: Inf gamma, tnf alpha, tnf beta
Definition
Term
mechanisms of cytotoxicity (CD8)
Definition
1) Fas, fas ligand (nonsecrotory lysis); 2) Granzyme perforin, secretory lysis
Term
Charact. of apoptosis
Definition
1) catabolism of internal organelles; 2) Fragment DNA; 3) membrane blebbing
