What are the two key components of memory?
|
stronger
faster |
|
What are the 2 probably causes of memory?
|
1) long lived memory B and T cells
2) continous exposure to low antigen levels from previous infection |
|
Approximately how long does immunological memory last?
|
years
|
|
What is the difference between immunological memory and protective immunity?
|
1)immunological memory is what you get right before an immune response (like a secondary response)
2)protective immunity is what you get after a response when you still have antibody laying around |
|
What are the three ways antibody reacts with antigen?
|
-neutralization
-opsonization -complement activation |
|
What are the two types of cells made after naitve T and B cells are activated by an infecting pathogen?
|
1) effector cells - short lived
2) memory cells - long lived |
|
What aspects do memory B/T cells have that Naive cells dont?
|
memory cells have higher affinity due to affinity maturation and isotype switching
|
|
What types of Ig is not made by the secondary response but is made in the primary response?
|
IgM
|
|
Which cells are more abundant? memory cells or naive cells?
|
memory cells
|
|
Which cells are higher affinity memory cells or naive cells?
|
memory cells
|
|
IS there a large difference in memory T cells from vaccination if you compare the years its been since the vaccination occured?
|
no
|
|
How is a naive B cell differentially stimulated during a primary repsonse vs secondary response?
|
primary response: naive B cell activated by antigen
secondary response: naive B cell inactivated by antigen-complex, memory B cells activated by antigen-complex |
|
Is CD28 costimulatory signal required in the activation of naive B cells or memory B cells?
|
naive memory cells require the CD28 costimulatory signals
|
|
Why are there more memory cells than naive cells?
|
because they have high affinity and are thus selected for
|
|
How do immune complexes inactivate naive B cells but activate memory cells?
|
memory cells are activated because they FcγRIIb is crosslinked with BCR
|
|
How does Erythroblastosis fetalis occur?
|
1) Rh+ dad, Rh- mom
2) second pregnancy or third pregnancy you see bilirubin in amniotic fluid 3) later on you see a dramatically decreased hematocrit |
|
What is the original antigenic sin?
|
pathogen with high mutable will cause immunological memory and immunological response to be gradually eroded
|
|
What markers are shared with memory T cells?
|
CD45RO-naive
CD45 RA - memory CD69- memory Bc12 - memory |
|
Which T cell has more antigen specificity memory or naive?
|
naive actually
|
|
What occurs to CD45 gene transcription in naive T cells vs memory T cells?
|
naive T cells - includes A B C exons
memory T cells exludes A B C axons thus giving naive cells more specificity |
|
What are the two types of memory T cells?
|
1) effector memory T cells
2) central memory T cells |
|
What is the difference between Effector memory T cells and central memory T cells?
|
effector - differentiate into potent effector T cell making lots of cytokines
central - stay towards lymphoid tissue t cell zones to help B cells |
|
What are the three possible factes of an effector memory T cell?
|
can differentiate into:
Th1 Th2 Th17 |
|
What is the purpose of central memory T cells and what do they express?
|
CD40L and interact with B cells or differentiate into follicular helper cells Tfh
|
|
What do the central memory cells express?
|
CCR7 so they can go to secondary lymphoid tissue
|
|
What do effector memory T cells secrete?
|
not CCR7 so they can roam
|
|
Can effector T cells from a primary immune response turn into memory cells?
|
yes
|
|
What are Follicular Dendritic Cells?
|
immune complexes that allow low levels of antigen to persist in germinal centers
|
|
How do the FDC s retain antigen and continually restimulate cells?
|
1) FDCs express high levels of Fc and C3 receptors
2) this allows them to bind Ag/Ab complexes and retain them for long periods |
|
What are the two ways that a T cell can be restimulated?
|
by FDC or B cell
|
