Document Summary

Only 3 types of immune cells can activate na ve t cells. B cells mostly when antigen levels are low. Toll-like receptors (means a pathogen is present) prrs (pattern recognition receptors), bind to a pamp (pathogen associated molecular pattern) on a pathogen. Tissue damage cause release of immune mediators. Not good at presenting antigen (low levels of mhc and co-stimulatory molecules) As the activated dc migrates to the ln, it changes from a cell that was once good at phagocytosing antigen into one that is now superior at presenting antigen to na ve t cells. Ccr7 on dc (directs to lymph nodes) Ccr7 signaling co-stimulatory molecules (b7. 1, b7. 2, members of immunoglobulin superfamily) 3 signals drive clonal expansion and differentiation of na ve t cells. Ligation of b7 on apc with cd28 on t cell signals up-regulation of il2/il2r proliferation. Ctla-4 looks similar to cd28 inhibits t cell. Review it"s important that only activated apcs can prime na ve t cells.
