Cards

Term
TCR:peptide:MHC
Definition
The antigen recognition complex b/w a T cell & an antigen presenting cell
Term
CD4: MHC II
Definition
The receptor on a helper T cell that interacts with the "self" component of an antigen presenting cell, & is associated with Lck tyrosine kinase
Term
CD8: MHC I
Definition
The receptor on a cytotoxic T lymphocyte that interacts with the "self" component of an antigen presenting cell, & is associated with Lck tyrosine kinase
Term
CD 28: B7.1/B7.2 (CD 80/86)
Definition
The co-stimulatory activating interaction b/w an antigen presenting cell & a T cell providing a second signal of activation to the T cell.
Term
CTLA-4 (CD152): B7.1/B7.2 (CD 80/86)
Definition
The negative co-stimulatory activating interaction b/w an antigen presenting cell & a T cell inhibiting T cell activation & proliferation
Term
CD 40: CD 40L (CD 154)
Definition
CD 40 ligand is on the T cell & CD 40 is on the B cell. The interaction of the 2 receptors drives the resting B cell into the cycle of cell division.
Term
Fas (CD 95): FasL (CD 95L)
Definition
Activated cytotoxic T cells express Fas Ligand on the surface, which binds to the Fas ligand on the target cell. This interaction sends signals to the cell to undergo apoptosis.
Term
LFA 1 (CD 11a/18): ICAM-1/2 (CD 54/CD 102)
Definition
Cell adhesion binding b/w an antigen presenting cell & a T cell that is localized in the peripheral supramolecular activation complex of an immunological synapse.
Term
CD2 (LFA-2): LFA-3 (CD 58)
Definition
CD2 on the T cell binds with LFA-3 on the dendritic cell. Adhesion is stregthened by the interaction.
Term
DC-SIGN (CD 209): ICAM-3 (CD 50)
Definition
Cell adhesion b/w an activated dendritic cell & a T cell. The human immunodeficiency virus surface glycoproteins 120 also attaches to the adhesion molecule on the activated dendritic cell.
Term
VLA-4 (CD 49d/CD29): VCAM-1 (CD 106)
Definition
Integrin that is expressed on the surface of an activated T cell, that promotes migration from the vascular system to an inflamed location of nonvascular tissue.
Term
L-selectin (CD 62L): sialyl Lewis (CD15) on GlyCAM-1 and CD 34
Definition
Receptor on circulating T cells that binds to structures on the high endothelial venules within 2° lymphoid tissue as a mean of homing.
Term
IL-2/IL-2R (CD 25)
Definition
Autocrine action of a T cell leading to proliferation & differentiation of an antigen activated population
Term
IFN-γ
Definition
Cytokine produced by TH1 cells, NK cells & cytotoxic T lymphocytes that enhances cell mediated immunity & production of the other subclasses of IgG as well as IgA & IgE
Term
IL-4
Definition
Cytokine produced by TH2 cells & mast cells that enhances production of human IgG2, IgG4, IgA &IgE, but suppresses cell-mediatd immunity & production of IgG1 & IgG3.
Term
IL-10
Definition
Cytokine secreted by CD4 TH2 cells, inhibit macrophage activation
Term
IL-12
Definition
Produced by macrophages and activate inductio of TH1 cells, activate NK cells
Term
TGF-β
Definition
downregulates inflammatory cytokine production, promotes wound healing responses & scar tissue, growth inhibition, inhibits macrophage activation,
