Reminders • Case Studies: • Due Wed., March 19 • Exam 3- Wed., March 26 • Chapters 3, 5, & 6.
T Cell Mediated Immunity Chapter 6 T Cell Activation or T Cell Priming Stage
Intercellular Adhesion Molecule Also a member of the Ig superfamily LFA: “Lymphocyte Functional Antigen”
Role for Selectins • Selectins usually mediate the initial interaction by lymphocyte that leads to migration. • Loose binding. Fig. 6-5, Parham Fig. 8.5- Janeway
Integrins mediate tighter association between cells. • LFA1 on naïve T cells binds ICAM1 & ICAM2 on vascular endothelium. • Different CAMs are produced at different stages of the lymphocytes life.
Homing & Diapedesis • Chemokine= CCL21 is bound by CCR-7 (chemokine Receptor) on naïve T cells. • Lymphoid stromal cells secrete CCL21 generating a concentration gradient.

Homing patterns of naïve lymphocytes differs from that of effector & memory cells • Effector Lymphocytes target areas of infection & inflammation. • Memory cells target circulate between tissue where they were activated & bloodstream.
Naïve T cell interaction with APC: • Initial Interaction of T cell with APC is mediated by CAMs. • Provide opportunity to “test out” MHC-Antigen- “Holding Hands” • Activation requires Costimulatory signal!
When T cells enter the 2o lymphoid tissue they interact with APC by CAMs CAMs bind & then are released if the TCR does not engage. LFA-1 on other APC
When the TCR finds MHC-Ag that is a fit the transient interaction becomes stabilized.
To complete T cell activation, costimulatorysignals are required. 3
CD28- on resting & activated T cells. • B7.1 & B7.2 on professional APC: • Dendritic cells • Activated macrophages & B cells. • Costimulatory signal & TCR interaction must be delivered by the same APC.
Over time the costimulatory signal can be reduced: • CTLA-4: • Resembles CD28 but binds B7 20X more strongly. • Delivers inhibitory signal.
Interaction of TCR with APC MHC-Ag alone results in T cell anergy.
The 3 different APCs have different roles in the immune response.
Distribution of APC in the secondary lymphoid tissue- lymph nodes: Marginal sinus where lymph collects.
