where do T lymphocytes originate? Migrate to?
bone marrow to thymus
what cell surface marker is associated with T cell receptors (TCR)
CD3
what 2 cell surface molecuels define the fcn of T cells?
CD4, CD8
what are CD4+ T cells
helper cells that can help cytoxic T cells(Th1) and B lymphocytes (Th2)
what are CD8+ T cells
cytotoxic cells-kill infected cells, cell mediated immunity
what 2 antibodies do B lymphocytes express
B cell receptors--immunoglobulin M or D
what do B cells become upon activation
plasma cells or memory cells
what do natural killer cell and γδ T lymphocytes release?
perforins, fragmentines(NK), cytokines(γδ T lymphocytes)
what cells are included as antigen presenting cells(APC)
macrophage, Langerhans cells, reticular dendritic cells of spleen, lymph nodes
what must be expressed to be a TRUE APC
express MHC Class II, co-stimulatory molecules
what is the most effective APC and can stimulate naïve T cells
dendritic cells express most Class II, co-stim molecules
what must macrophages do to stimulate Class II or co-stimulatory molecules?
phagocytose microbes
define: cells that can be induced to express MHC II or co-stimulatory signal but only briefly during inflammation
non-professional APC
ex of non professional APC
skin fibroblasts, brain glial cells, pancreatic beta cells, thymic epithelial, thyroid epithelial, vascular endothelial
define: intracellular conversion of native proteins into peptides and loading them into MHC molecules
antigen processing
where does endogenous antigen processing for MHC Class I presentation(viral infection, tumor antigens) occur?
in cytoplasm of infected cells
describe endogenous antigen processing
proteins degraded to peptides→to ER/Gogli→Class I loaded with peptide in ER
where does exogenous antigen processing for MHC Class II presentation(bacterial infection) take place
phagolysosomes
describe exogenous antigen processing
Class II synthesized with invariant chain→endosomes fuse with Class II storage vesicles→peptides bind in cleft of MHC molecule→Class II transported to cell surface→Class II, peptide fuse
what direct the proliferation and differentiation of the immune response?
messenger molecules--cytokines
what are the 2 basic groups of cytokines that regulate the produciton of other cytokines
pro-inflammatory (Th1)=cellular immune response, anti-inflammatory (th2)=humoral immune response
what group of cytokine is made in response to bacterial or viral infections
pro-inflammatory (Th1)
what group of cytokine is made in response to bacterial products such as toxins
anti-inflammatory Th2
what is produced in response to viral infection?
interferons(IFN) …..also Th1
what induces an anti-viral resistance in uninfacted cells
interferons(IFN)
when are IFN a, b produced? What do they activate
early in infection, activate natural killer cells, inc MHC Class I expression
when is IFN y produced? By what? What do they activate
produced later by activated T cells, activate macrophages to kill infected cells
what are some interleukins
IL-1 to IL-23, TNF/TGF, hematopoiesis cytokines
what are included as cytokines
Th1, Th2, IFNa,b,y, interleukins
where are single free lymphocytes located?
esp in loose CT underlying lumen that connect to outside--GI tract, resp tract, urogenital
define: large conc of lymphocytes in body tissues and organs
lymphatic infiltration
what happens when cells of diffuse lymphatic accumulations react with antigen?
actiavted cells form lymph nodules
define: sharply defined, unencapsulated lymphoid tissue
lymph nodules
what are lymph nodules sometimes called?
MALT (mucosal Associated Lymphatic Tissue)
what are the nodules sites of?
lymphocyte production after antigen is presented to B lymphocyte
what do stroma of lymph nodules consist of
reticular cells, reticular fibers(type III collagen)
what contain densely packed small lymphocytes?
primary nodules
what have a central paler area called a germinal center with larger B lymphoblasts?
secondary nodules
cells in lymph nodules
B lymphocytes, APC-macrophage, dendritic cells
define: lymphoid accumulations related to mucosa of GI tract
GALT
accumulations of what cells in GI tract
IgA secreting plasma cells, lymphocytes, other WBC, macrophage, lymph nodules
define: aggregates of Unencapsulated lymphoid nodules in lamina propria/submucosa of ILEUM of SI
Peyer's patches
what area contains high endothelial venules lines by cuboidal epithelium and M(microfold cells)
Peyer's patches
define: these cells endocytose antigens and transport them to macrophages and lymphocytes in GI tract
M(microfold) cells in Peyer's patches
define: evagination of cecum that contains single and confluent lymphatic nodules
appendix
define: ring of lymphatic tissue around entrance into oropharynx
tonsils
what tonsils underlie/covered by stratified squamous epithelium
palatine tonsils, lingual tonsils
what tonsils is covered by pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
pharyngeal tonsil
how many crypts does each tonsil have?
palatine-10-20, pharyngeal-none, lingual-1
define: small, specialized, kidney shaped with a hilus, fully encapsulated organ
lymph node
where are lymph nodes derived from
mesenchyme
fcn of lymph nodes
filter lymph into larger vessels, body's defense against microorgs and spread of tumors, removal of foreign antigens in macrophage and follicular dendritic cells to B lymphocytes
what are surrounded by dense CT capsule with trabeculae
lymph nodes
what is the lymph node supported by
network of reticular cells and reticular fibers, APC, follicular dendritic cells
are follicular dendritic cells true APC?
no. lack MHC II moleucles on surface
flow of afferent lymphatic capillaries
subcapsular sinuses→trabecular sinuses→medullary sinuses→efferent lymphatic vessel
where does one single efferent lymphatic vessel exit?
