question
What are the three main characteristics of pleuripotent cells?
answer
have indefinite regeneration capability, don't have a lot at one time, when they divide one daughter cell is the same as the original cell ; the other is a precursor for whatever cell type it will become
question
T/F; There is a balance between the number of a specific type of cell in the bone marrow and in the whole body.
answer
True
question
From which stem cell do cells for innate immunity arrise? What cells do they become?
answer
Myeloid ; Dendritic, Monocyte, Macrophage, Neutrophil, Eosinophil, Mast, Basophil, Platelets, ; Erythrocytes
question
Which stem cells lead to cells of the adaptive immune system?; What are these cells?
answer
Lymphoid ; NK, T cell, ; B cell
question
What is the most numerous Leukocyte?
answer
Neutrophil
question
What type of cells of the innate immune system are phagocytic cells that produce soluble factors that attack Ag?
answer
Granulocytes
question
Describe extravasation.
answer
neutrophils roll along endothelium until the detect inflammation, then they extravasate into the area to aid the response (first cells recruited to infection site.
question
Which granulocyte fights parasites, has a bi-lobed nucleus, is highly mobile, ; has red staining granules?
answer
Eosinophil
question
Which granulocyte fights parasitic infection, have blue staining granules, ; have low affinity receptors on their surface for IgE?
answer
Basophils
question
T/F; Mast cells must be completely differentiated prior to entering circulation.
answer
False; leave formation site undifferentiated then differentiate in circulation
question
What stimulates the IgE of allergens?
answer
crosslinking with other receptors
question
Where are monocytes formed?; Name some cells that they differentiate into.
answer
Bone Marrow; Macrophages, Kupfer cells, Microglial cells
question
Which differentiated form of a monocyte has more projections and detects pathogen associated molecular patterns?
answer
Macrophages
question
Once bacteria are broken down their peptides are loaded onto what?
answer
MHC class II's
question
What type of lymphoid cells can kill host cells that are infected by virus?  What is the signal for it to kill host cells?
answer
Natural Killer cells; lack of MHC class I
question
What are the three Ag presenting cells?
answer
Dendritic cells, Macrophages, and B cells
question
What humoral cell can differentiate into a plasma cell with T cell activation?
answer
B cells
question
Which adaptive immune cell produces cytokines?  What do these secretions do?
answer
T helper cells; cytokines activate B cells and cause CD 8 cells to differentiate into CTL's
question
What cells are important for directing the Cell-Mediated Response?
answer
Cytotoxic T Cells (CTL's)
question
What are the primary Lymphoid Organs & what is their function?
answer

Bone Marrow: hematopietic stem cells, B cell development

Thymus: T cell development

question
What are the outer and inner regions of the secondary immune organs (& thymus) called?
answer
Outer=Cortex, Inner=Medulla; undifferentiated cells enter medulla then migrate to the cortex where they differentiate
question
What are the secondary Lymphatic organs?
answer
Spleen, Lymph Nodes, Mucosal Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT, MALT, etc.)
question
Where is Ag often presented to lymphatic cells?
answer
Lymph Nodes
question
T/F  Lymphatic vessels have two way valves & fluid is moved through them by muscle contraction.
answer
False; the valves are one way
question
How are the Lymph Nodes segregated?
answer
B cells in the cortex & T cells in the medulla; segregated until cells need to be activated
question
How is the Spleen structured?
answer
blood circulates through T cell white pulp & T cells migrate into B cell zone
question
Where are Peyer's Patches found?
answer
Intestine
question
What portion of the variable chain has the greatest variability?
answer
CDR (Complimentary Determining Region)
question
T/F; Carbohydrates affect the function of the Ab and are important when developing therapeutic factors.
answer
True
question
What structure is required to propagate messages from the IgM to the cytoplasm?; What does it do?
answer
ITAM (immunoreceptor tyrosine activation motif) with Ig-; and Ig-; receptors; docking site that recruits Tyr to initiate downstream signaling pathway
question
How long is the cytoplasmic tail of B cell mIgM?
answer
3 amino acids
question
T/F; Only B cells have ITAM molecules associated with them.
answer
False; B and T cells have receptors
question
What structures are important for modulating how the signal travels through the cell and must function along with an Ag receptor?
answer
Coreceptors
question
What is characteristic of immunoglobulin domains?
answer
disulfide bonds forming loops
question
Describe the MHC class and peptide binding cleft of CD 4 and CD 8 cells.
answer

CD 4: Class II, ;1-;1 binding cleft

CD 8: Class I, ;1-;2 binding cleft

question
Where do the CD8 and CD4 receptors bind the T cell?
answer

CD 8: ;3 segment of MHC I

CD 4: ;2 segment of MHC II

question
Which MHC class can present viral peptides that have infiltrated host cells?; What cells do they present to?
answer
MHC Class I; CTL's
question
What MHC class is used to present peptides from invading cells?  To what cells do they present?
answer
MHC Class II; Macrophages present to Th 1, B cells present to Th2
question
How do T cells initially bind APC?  How does the affinity increase?
answer
LFA-1 to CAM-1 interaction; LFA-1 conformational change → prolonged cell-cell contact
question
Describe the form and function of lipid rafts.
answer
 cholesterol dense membrand regions; create a gap-like junction and allow B & T cells to associate quickly
question
T/F  SLP & LAT bring proteins together to form a complex for propagation of signaling pathway.
answer
True
question
What are the functions of CD19 and CD22?
answer

CD19 sends positive feedback to loop to enhance regulator

CD22 sends negative feedback to induce inhibitory regulator

question
Don't know how to ask this...
answer

Ag binds to receptor ; CD21 binds C3d which enhances signal ; Tyrosine kinase leads to phosphorylation of Tyr on ICAM ; positive response to stimulus

If it goes to CD22 ; inhibitory receptor

question
What is the usual result of ITIM activity?
answer
reversible phosphorylation
question
What molecules are involved in Signal 2?; Which have positive signals ; which have negative?; Which are expressed in resting T cell?
answer

Negative: TH cell CTLA-4 interacts with B7 on APC or Bcell

Positive:; TH cell CD28 interacts with B7 on APC or B cell

Resting Cell only expresses CD28

question
What happens if you do not have both Signal 1 ; 2?
answer
the T cell will shut down ; become anergic
question
What molecule is being used to control auto-immunity ; transplant tolerance?; What does it do?
answer
CTLA-4; shuts down T cell activation
question
Getting tired, question asking skills waning, just read the card.
answer
CD40L on TH cells is inducibly expressed and interacts with CD40 on T cell Dependent Ag's
question
T/F  Only signals 1 & 2 are required for maximum lymphocyte response.
answer
False; 1 & 2 are required for minimal response, you need Signal 3 to induce the full range of cytokines
