Study Notes
- Phagocytosis, cytotoxicity, and cytokine production are key mechanisms of immune response.
- Fas:FasL and perforin/granzyme pathways induce apoptosis, leading to programmed cell death.
- IL-2, TNFα, IL-17, IL-18, IL-12, IFN-I, and IFN-γ are cytokines involved in immune response.
- Unconventional T cells, including γδ T cells, iNKT cells, MAIT cells, and mucosal-associated T cells, are thought to be between innate and adaptive immunity.
- These cells have distinct antigen recognition patterns, including non-peptide, lipids, microbial lipids/glycolipids, and microbial-derived vitamin B2 metabolites.
- T cell effector functions occur in the lymph node and periphery, with different subtypes having distinct functions, such as Th1, Th2, Th17, Tfh, and Treg.
- Th1 cells clear intracellular microbes, Th2 cells eliminate helminthic parasites, Th17 cells protect against bacteria, and Tfh cells activate B cells.
- T cell migration is crucial for immune response, with T cells migrating to sites of infection in response to chemokine gradients.
- Chemokines and adhesion molecules play a key role in T cell migration, with different molecules involved in naïve and effector T cell migration.
- T cell function and migration are two sides of the same coin, with T cells responding to pathogens only through direct contact with antigen.
- Granzyme/perforin granules and Fas–FasL pathways are involved in induced apoptosis, leading to programmed cell death.
- T cell migration involves binding, rolling, and extravasation, with integrins and adhesion molecules playing a key role.
- The adaptive immune response involves T cell effector functions, including cytotoxicity, cytokine production, and B cell activation.
