4 Functions of Ab |
Toxin neutralization Opsonization Complement fixation Ab-dependent cell cytotox |
|
What Ig Fix complement |
IgG and IgM |
|
What Ig mediated ADCC |
IgG |
|
What is the function of IgE |
release Inflam. molecules from granulocytes to kill parasites |
|
What is the funciton of IgA |
Major Ig in bodily secretions; block entry of bacteria and toxins to the blood stream |
|
What is the role of FcR (3) |
|
|
T/F ITAM is activating |
T; ITIM inhibiting |
|
3 Effector CElls |
NK cells - have both innate and adaptive CD4 CD8 |
|
Effector cells express higher levels of ____ |
Cell-adhesion molecules |
|
T/F Effector cells traffic the same as non effector cells |
False |
|
2 Methods of CTL induced death |
Fas-FasL Granzyme |
|
Steps of perforin mediated CTL (5) |
Fas-FasL is similar |
|
T/F NK cells also use Perforin or Fas/FasL |
T |
|
What do NK cells target* |
Cells that have lose MHC 1 - Ubiq. Self protein |
|
2 structural groups of NK cells |
1) Lectin-like 2) Ig Like |
|
Similarities between TC and NKC |
|
|
How to measure Cytotox? |
1) MLR (Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction) 2) CML (cell mediated lympholysis) {CML uses radioactivity/fluor.} |
|
Blocking FCGR3 and CD23 would affect? |
Opsonization and ADCC - FCGR3 NOT Complement and neutralization - Not FCG dependent Blocking CD23 has no effect CD23 is inhib, if anything increases |
|
T/F Activation of FcR always leads to internaliztion and destruction |
F; FCGR2/CD23 is inhib |
|
T/F Only CTLs use perforin |
F; NK cells can as well |
|
What R do human NK cells express? |
KIR |
|
What do mitomycin do? |
blocks proliferation of lymphocytes |
|
NOTE: Make sure to determine whether you are looking at PROLIFERATION ASSAYS OR LYSIS CAPABILITY |
|
|
How can you test whether a mouse has Th and Tc cells specific for influenza |
|
|
What signal is stronger in NK cells killing or anti-killing |
Anti |
|
How do NK cells kill |
They down-regulate MHC 1 which no longer stimulate the INHIB R Take off the brakes |
|
T/F Target cells of Killing express Fas |
T; Fas L on T cell |
|
The stimulation of CD40 on APC by CD40L on Th1 or Th17 leads to what? |
increased 80/86; licensing |
|
TCR activation facilitaes conformational changes in _____ which increases affinity for ______ |
LFA-1 ICAM-1 |
|
What method is used for Proliferation of T cells? What method is used for Cytotox. of T cells? What method is used for T Cell response? |
Thymadine uptake Cr release fluorescent MHC-tetramer |
|
What is the role of many complexes of MHC on the fluorescent tool |
Inreases avidity |
|
Steps of MHC-Tetramer |
|
|
Major cytokine produced by NKC |
IFN-G |
|
What cytokines stimualte by NK cells*? |
IFN-a, IL-2, IL-12 Happens early |
|
What happens when NK cell is presented with Ag in presence of MHC1 |
Inhib reigns supreme and there is no killing |
|
Evidence for NK memory* |
Transfer to immunodef. mice provides protection! |
|
When we compare survival percentage of NK cells what seem to be true (Further evidence of memory) |
10,000 memory had more robust response than 100,000 naive |
|
T/F NK cells and CTLs have common markers like CD2, IL-2RB; share common killing pathways, and have similar precursors |
T |
|
Do NK develop in the thymus? NKT? |
NK - NO NKT - Yes |
|
Do NKT cells have elements of TCR? NK? |
NKT - YEs NK - no |
|
NKT more like T cell in terms of markers or NK ? |
NK |
|
What presents to NKT? |
CD1d |
|
Activation of FCG leads to what? |
Activation of cytokine production/ inc. phagocytic activity/lysis by Granuloctyte/MAC/NK Lyn --> SYK --> effector function |
