Cards

Term

What is the order of rearrangement in B cell receptors?

What rearranges first in alpha-beta T cell receptors?

Definition

DJ (heavy chain) then VDJ (involves DNA, most are deletions)

Beta chain

Term
What are the trafficking signals for naive T cells to lymph nodes, and peyers patches?
Definition

L-selectin:GlyCAM

Alpha4beta7:MadCAM1

Term

What is the function of selectin and integrin? What upregulates both?

What cause neutrophils to follow?

Definition

Selectin - on vessel slows down neutrophil

Integrin - on neutrophil allows integration into tissue

IL-1 and TNF

f-met and C5a

Term

What is the T cell co-receptor and co-stimulatory signal for activation of naive T cells?

What competes with this co-stimulator?

Definition

CD28 on T cell:B7-1(CD80) or B7-2(CD86) on APC

CTLA-4 competes with CD28 for B7 and down regulates

Term
Which nonclassical MHC binds lipids instead of proteins and which cells does it present to?
Definition
CD1 presents to T (gamma-delta) and NKT cells
Term
What receptor helps T cells exit the lymph node? What keeps effector T cells in the lymph node initially?
Definition

S1PR1 on T cells binds to S1P in the blood

CD69 blocks S1PR1 on effector T cells to stay in the lymph node to clonally expand

Term

What chemokine receptors attract T cells to the T zone of lymph nodes, attract B cells to the follicle of the lymph node?

Which two chemokine receptors are coreceptors for HIV?

Definition

CCR7

CXCR5

CCR5 and CXCR4

Term
What complements make up the MAC?
Definition
C5b, C6, C7, C8 and C9
Term

What is the order of Ig molecules on the gene segment of chromosome 14?

What is the order of IgG subclasses?

Which IgG subclass has the shortest half life?
Definition

IgM or IgD then IgG, IgE and IgA

IgG3, IgG1 and IgG2

IgG3
Term
What cytokines cause class switching from IgM to IgE, IgG subclasses and IgA?
Class switching changes which region on the antibody?
Definition

IL-4 and IL-13

IFN-gamma

TGF-beta and IL-5

C region
Term

What are the Th1 cytokines and what do they do?

What are the Th2 cytokines and what do they do?

What are the Th17 cytokines and what do they do?

Definition

IFN-gamma (macrophage activation, class switching to IgG3), IL-2 (CTL and NK cell activation), TNF (primes macrophages and NK cells)

 

IL-4 (class switching to IgE), IL-5 (eosinophil activation, class switching to IgA) and IL-13 (decrease proliferation of Th1 cells)

 

IL-17 (neutrophil activation) and IL-22

Term
What two types of antibodies activate the complement system via the classical pathway?
Definition
IgM (best) and IgG
Term
What antibody has the highest plasma concentration?
Highest total body concentration?
Definition
IgG
IgA
Term
What changes antibodies from transmembrane to secretory form and also produces IgD?
Definition
Alternative splicing
