Study Notes

Cellular Interactions

  • Cells that target intracellularly infected cells and activate macrophages to become microbicidal are CD4+ T cells (Th1 cells).
  • CD4+ T cells do not require co-stimulation and bind tightly to target cells for a long time to release effector molecules directly to the target cell.

Effector Functions

  • CD8+ T cells induce target cells to undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis) and release cytotoxic effector proteins contained in their granules.
  • Armed CD8+ T cells have activation requirements different from naïve T cells.

Macrophage Activation

  • CD4+ T cells are particularly important for acting on macrophages and B cells that have taken up antigen but may not be expressing co-stimulatory molecules.
  • CD4+ T cells require 2 signals to activate macrophages to become microbicidal.
  • CD4+ T cells are involved in delivering signals like IFNg and a sensitizing signal to activate macrophages to become microbicidal.

Anti-Viral Mechanisms

  • CD4+ T cells release IFNg to inhibit viral replication and increase MHC1, in addition to inducing programmed cell death in target cells.
  • CD8+ T cells play a role in inhibiting viral replication and increasing MHC1, in addition to inducing programmed cell death in target cells.

Targeting Intracellular Infections

  • CD8+ T cells target cells infected intracellularly and are hidden from the effects of antibodies and cytotoxic CD8 T cells.
