Term
Cell-mediated responses include which type of cells? 4x. Which are specific and which are non-specific
Definition
Specific: Tcytotoxic and lymphocytes
Nonspecific: Phagocytic and NK Cells
Term
What kind of cells do cell mediate immune cells target 3x
Definition
1. cells with INTRACELLULAR pathogens
2. tumor cells
3. Graft rejections
Term
The predominant response in delayed hyeprsensitivty reactions is cell mediated or humoral?
Definition
PRimary = cell mediated
Some Ab do respond but not much.
Term
PRimary cytotoxic T cells are CD4 or CD8
Definition
90% are CD8
Term
do NK cells have CD8, CD4, CD3 or A TCR on their surface?
Definition
THEY HAVE NONE OF THOSE
Term
do NK cells have antigen receptors
Definition
NO. Therefore they are not MHC restricted.
Term
MHCs class ___ are on every cell, while MHCs of Class ____ are only on APCs and lymphocytes
Definition
MHCs of Class I are on every cell, while MHCs of Class II are only on APCs and lymphocytes
Term
how does cell mediated immunity work in regards to MHC
Definition
You see, if a T cell is running around and encounters MHC Class I on every cell it bumps into, it recognizes every cell as belonging in the body, and no immune response will occur. However, if a T cell runs into a cell that doesn't display an MHC, the T cell will immediately know that that cell doesn't belong in our bodies; the cell-mediated immune response will then begin, and the foreign cell will be destroyed.
Term
four steps in cell-mediated immunity. They are:
Definition
four steps in cell-mediated immunity. They are:

antigen presentation
antigen binding (recognition)
co-stimulation
destruction of infector
Term
what type of cells in the body are MHC I found on
Definition
MHC I: MHC I molecules are found on all healthy nucleated cells in the body
Term
whats the difference between cell mediated and humoral immunity
Definition
Unlike humoral immunity, which is designed to react against extracellular antigens, cell-mediated immunity is much better at recognizing and eliminating microbes that are within cells.
Term
Which type of T cells are involved in stimulating IgE production and Eosinophils
Definition
Th-2 cells are involved in stimulating IgE production and eosinophils.
Term
what causes apoptosis of Tc cells when their no longer really needed
Definition
the decrease in IL-2 which is the main cytokine stimulator for cell mediated response. Less that then obviously decrease need for Tc cells.
Term
how do the granzmes released by Tc cells not kill themselves?
Definition
Tc cells have protective molecules ontheir surface that are called "protectins"
Term
T/F APC secretions (cytokines) have a direct effect on Tc cells
Definition
False
Term
Tc Cells can be directly influenced by what other T cells
Definition
TH1 cells and their secretion of cytokines. Don't forget APC can influence TH1 and therefore INDIRECTLY influence Tc cells. By way of TH1 cells more IL-2 is released and sitmulates more prolife and diff and insertion of more IL-2 receptors on cell surface.
Term
Name 2x surface adhesion molecules found on mature Tc Cells
Definition
1. LFA-1 2. CD2
Term
NKT cells also referred to as __ cells
Definition
Invariant NKT cells
Term
NKT cells recognize what
Definition
glycolipids bound to CD1d rather than peptides bound to MHC I
Term
What are similar between NKT and NK cells
Definition
Both have innate responses but also possess adaptive responses
Term
what is similar between NKT cells and Tc cells
Definition
Both NKT and Tc cells have TCR on surface. NK cells do not
Term
do NKT cells or NK cells act similar to helper cells in regards to cytokines and Tc cellsin regards to killing
Definition
NKT cells are similar.
Term
Do NKT and NK cells form memory cells.
Definition
NO. ONLY NK cells can form memory cells. NKT CANNOT
Term
NKT cells kill via?
Definition
Fas-FasL
Term
what does ADCC stand for
Definition
Ab-dependent cel-mediated (cellular) cytotoxicity
Term
what effector cells are categorized in the ADCC group
Definition
1. NK cells via FcR (CD16)
2. Macrophages
3. monocytes
4. neutrophils
5. Eosinophils
Term
ADCC works via what strucutre
Definition
FCR binding to Fc on Ab
Term
the binding in ADCC results in what killing mechanism
Definition
1. digestive enzymes
2. perforins released by NK and eosinophils
Term
what cytokines are released by ADCC cells
Definition
TNF
