As dedritic cells mature, they express more ________ on their surface
MHC
What are the two types of dendritic cells in the skin?
epidermal (langerhahn's) cells, dermal (interstitial) cells
Blood DC's are predominantly ____________ DC's and produce type __ interferons
plasmacytoid; I
DC's in the intestine are ________ DC's
myeloid
__________ DC's are the population that are permanent residents of the secondary lymphoid tissue
follicular
DC's generally present viruses on MHC Class ____ molecules and bacteria on Class ___ molecules
I: II
what are the three types of antigen presenting cells?
macrophages, dendritic cells, b cells
How do naive T cells enter lymph nodes?
through blood or lymph
B7 molecules on APC's are _________ molecules that bind to ________ on the T cell
co-stimulatory; CD28
Activated T cells secrete and respond to IL-____ which is required for T cell proliferation
2
What do superantigens do?
bridge TCR and MHC in the absence of a specific peptide (toxic shock, food poisoning)
Binding of B7 to CTLA-4 induces _________
tolerance
what happens when an APC binds to a naive T-cell with a specific signal but no B7?
T-cell becomes anergic
What happens when an APC binds the co-stimulatory signal (B7) but no specific antigen signal to a naive T-cell?
no effect on the T cell
TGF-beta from APC's drives naive CD4 T-cell differentiation into what subset?
Treg cell or Th17
IL-6 drives a naive CD4 T-cell towards what subset?
Th17
IL-12 drives a naive CD4 T-cell toward what subset?
Th1
IL-10 drives a naive CD4 T-cell toward what subset?
Th2
Th1 cells seek out and activate __________
macrophages
Th2 cells seek out and activate _____________
B-cells
Activated T-cells require a co-stimulatory signal and specific antigen signal to perform their effector function (true/false)
false (only naive T cells require both to become active)
antigen binding to b-cell receptor provides the first activation signal. what provides the second?
T-helper cell delivers second signal via CD40 ligand and cytokines
what are the two forms of T-independent antigens?
TI-1 and TI-2
What are the consequences of b cell activation in the absence of T cell help?
no T helper cytokines -> no isotype switching (IgM antibodies only); no affinity maturation (low affinity antibodies); no memory response
