T Cell Activation
CD4+ and CD8+ cells

Humoral Mechanisms
Tolerance and Autoimmunity
100

This cytokine is so heavily involved in T cell growth and expansion that it used to be called “T cell growth factor"

IL-2

100

T lymphocyte precursors differentiate into naïve CD4+ and CD8+ cells in this part of the lymphatic system

Thymus

100

B cells that attach to antigens with long, repeating epitopes generally don’t need help from these cells to activate

T cells

100

This portion of the antibody mediates their effector functions

The Fc portion

100

The name for "functional unresponsiveness" of lymphocytes that have been introduced to self-antigens is what?

Anergy

200

Along with an antigen, T cells require these in order to activate

Co-stimulators

200

CD4+ cells can only recognize antigens presented on these clusters on the surface of APCs

Class II MHCs

200

In the early stages B cell responses to foreign antigens, lower affinity antibodies of this subclass are typically produced

IgM

200

While antibodies may be the most effective opsonis, this part of the innate immune system also also serve effective opsonizers

Complement

200

Induction of self-tolerance of immature cells is carried out in what two lymphoid organs for T and C cells, respetively?

Thymus (T-cells) and Bone marrow (B-cells)

300

Dendritic cells and T cells both have a mutual chemokine receptor that bind to both of these two lymph node ligands

CCL19 and CCL21

300

To initiate their “killing mechanism, effector CD8+ cells require what signal or signals?

Antigen presentation on class 1 MHCs

300

When leaving the T cell zone for the follicle to meet up with B cells, T cells downregulate and upregulate these two chemokine receptors

CCR7 and CXCR5, respectively

300

Of the Fcγ receptors, this is the most potent phagocytosis initiator

FcγRI

300

Unlike other CD+ cells, Tregs are unable to produce this vital cytokine needed to stay alive

IL-2

400

Vaccines need to include these along with the antigen in order to induce an immune response

Adjuvants

400

Th1 CD4+ cells produce IFN-g that promotes B cells to undergo subclass switching to produce this specific antibody

IgG

400

After attaching to its antigen, T-dependent B-cell activation generally requires cytokine signaling and this ligand/receptor coupling

CD40L/CD40

400

Of the three complement pathways, this pathway is, evolutionary speaking, the oldest and simplest pathway

The alternate pathway

400

A CD4+ cell recognizing a self-antigen in the primary lymphoid organ can result in Anergy, Apoptosis, and what else?

Development of regulatory Treg CD4+ cells

500

This co-inhibitor competes for the same B7 ligands as CD28

CTLA-4

500

Activation of M1 macrophages requires what two signals?


IFN-gamma and CD40 binding ligand

500

This version of T-dependent B cell activation is remarkably similar to the T-independent type

Extrafollicular B cell activation

500

When left to continue complement activation at a pathogen surface, C5b through C9 combine to eventually form this

Membrane attack complex (MAC)

500

CTLA-4 is necessary for the up-front blocking of T-cell activation. What inhibitory receptor is involved in down-stream blocking of activated T-cells?

PD-1
