T cell activation • T cell are activated by APC (DC, monocyte, macrophage, B cell) • TCRrecognizepeptide-MHC complex • TCR cooperatewithcoreceptors CD4 (binds to MHC gp II) or CD8 (binds to MHC gp I)
T cell activation Signal:TCR– MHC gp I / II +Ag peptid (APC) Co-stimulatorysignal: CD 28 (T lymphocyte) – CD 80, CD 86 (APC) (Without costimulation the T cell becomes anergic ) Activation via TCR and CD28 results in proliferation and differentiation in effectoror memory cells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPh9P1aEfMI
Th1 and Th2 basedimmunereaction http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVMIZy-Y3f8
TH1 basedimmunereaction • TH1 cell function is the defense against intracellular parasites • TH1 cells cooperate with macrophages and support the differentiation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes • Macrophages and dendritic cells stimulated by some micro-organisms produce IL-12 • A TH precursor that recognizes an infected macrophage and receives signals via TCR, CD28 and the IL-12 receptor proliferates and differentiates into effector TH1 cells • TH1 cells produce IFNg and IL-2
TH1 basedimmunereaction • IFNgactivatesmacrophages (↑ antigen presentationandlysosomalactivity, activatesinducible NO synthase) • IL-2 isessentialfortheproliferationanddifferentiationof T lymphocytes • Activatedmacrophagesproducecytokines (IL-1, TNF ...) thatstimulateT cellsandstimulatelocalinflammation to suppressinfection • Interactionof TH1 cells and macrophagesis a fundamentalmechanismofdelayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH; hypersensitivity rection type IV)
Th2 based immune reaction • The basic function of TH2 cells is protection against extracellular parasites • TH2 cells cooperate with basophils, mast cells and eosinophils • TH2 cells helps B lymphocytes in IgE production • TH precursor, which recognize antigen on APC and receives signals via TCR, CD28, IL-4 receptor and IL-2 receptor proliferates and differentiates in effector TH2 • Th2 produces IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10
Mutualregulationofactivities TH1versus TH2 • Whetherthe THprecursor cell willdevelopinto TH1 or TH2 decidescytokine ratio ofIL-12 and IL-4 • IL-12 isproduced by macrophagesanddendriticcellsstimulated by certainmicroorganisms • IL-4 isproduced by activatedbasophils, mast cellsand TH2 cells • TH1 cytokines (mainlyIFNg) inhibitthedevelopmentof TH2 andstimulatethedevelopmentof TH1 (IL-2 stimulatesalso TH2) • Cytokinesproduced by TH2 (IL-4, IL-10) inhibitthedevelopmentof TH1 andstimulatethedevelopmentof TH2
Tfh – B cell assistance • The Tfh cells promotes B cellmaturation, the help ismediated by cytokines (IL-21, IL-4…) and direct intracellular contact (CD40L) • The TH precursor, whichreceivesfrom APC signals through the TCR, CD 28and receives a signal from the B cell via the ICOS molecule, then differentiates in the Tfh cell • For stimulation of Bcells, there is usually a need for cooperation between APC → Tfh cell → B lymphocyte • In the case of the minimal model, it is sufficientcooperationbetweenTfh cell and B lymphocyte
Tfh – B cell assistance Specific direct help for B cells: • The Tfh cellhelps to B cells stimulated with the same Ag • Tfh cell needsforthecytokinesecretionsignal via TCR(B cells must present the appropriate Ag peptide - HLA II that recognizes the TCR; signal via costimulatory CD28 receptor is no longer required) • Interaction between CD40 (B lymphocyte) and CD40L (Tfh cell) is essential for initiation of somatic mutations, isotypeswitching, and memory cells formation
