Chapter 14 Two Types Cell-mediated immunity Effector role – detect and eliminate cells infected with intracellular pathogens Chapter 14 Two types: 1) Cytotoxic T cell response: - Cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) to kill virus- Cell-Mediated Effector Responses infected and altered self-cells. - NK cells and Macrophages 2) Delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH): CD4 T cells that activate macrophages to enhance killing of intracellular bacteria . Naïve VS Effector cells The CTL response Mediated by CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes. - CD8+ T cells that have not yet seen antigen are not cytotoxic - they are referred to as precursor-CTL (CTL-P). ** ** In order to become cytotoxic effector cells, CTL-P must: - recognize antigen presented on class I MHC - express IL-2 receptors - receive IL-2 (usually from a helper T cell) - proliferate CD2 (LFA-3) and LFA-1 (ICAM-1) - differentiate into effector CTL 4 NOTE: Memory CTL-Ps secrete enough IL-2 for 1 3 Expression of IL-2 own proliferation receptors occurs only after CTL-P (precursor ) 2 activation by antigen. IL-2 from helper T cells 5 is usually required before CTL-P can proliferate and differentiate into effector CTL (though Ag-activated CTL-P can produce some IL-2). FIG 14-1 1 Th cells provide IL-2 for proliferation of naïve CTL-Ps Killing by CTLs • Lytic activity mediated by Perforin and Granzymes • Fas-mediated • Working together or independently The two pathways of CTL-mediated killing: 1) Effector CTL form tight conjugates with target cells. Contents of CTL cytoplasmic granules are released into the intercellular space. These kill the target cell. 2) The CTL dissociates from the target cell and is able to then kill further target cells. 1 2 Fig 14-9 1) CTL cytoplasmic granules contain perforin, which can form pores in the target cell membrane. 2) These pores allow other toxic molecules released by the CTL to enter the target cell and induce it to undergo apoptosis. 1 2 Fig 14-7 2 Natural Killer (NK) Cells • Make up 5-10% of circulating lymphocytes • Originate from lymphoid lineage • First line of defense against viruses, tumors and intracellular bacteria • Main source of IFN-γ early during infection • This IFN-γ can direct Th responses towards Th1-type • Stimulated by IFN-α/IFN-β and IL-12 NK Cells and T cells Killing by NK cells • Express unique markers: • Similar to CTLs – CD2 (receptors for LFA-3) • Presence of two types of receptors: – CD16 (Fc γRIII) activating receptors and inhibitory receptor – CD56 (adhesion molecule) • Activating receptors: NKR-P1 (C-type • Do not undergo maturation in the thymus lectin), CD2, Fc γRIII, and NKp30, NKp44, • Present in mice lacking thymus NKp46 • Lack CD3-TCR • Inhibitory receptor: • Do not show MHC-restriction – C-type-lectin inhibitory receptors (CLIR): • Do not require activation CD94/NKG2 – Killer cell-inhibitory receptors (KIR) Opposing Signal Model in NK cells (Activation VS Inhibitory) Antibody-dependent cell- Normal levels of MHC-1 mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) Veto Power!!!! • This mechanism is triggered when antibody is bound to a target cell • ADCC can be mediated by: NK cells, macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils and eosinophils Decreased levels of MHC-1 • Killing is mediated by release of: lytic enzymes, TNF-α, perforin and granzymes 3 Experimental Assessment of 5 Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity At least 3 ways: 3 2 a) Mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) b) Cell-mediated lympholysis (CML) c) Delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) 1 4 Antigens that induce DTH DTH - Delayed-type hypersensitivity - DTH is a second major form of cell-mediated immunity. - As with humoral immunity and cytotoxic T cell responses, DTH is controlled by helper T cells . - In DTH, the effector cell is non-antigen-specific: the macrophage . - DTH responses occur to specific types of antigen: intracellular bacteria, viruses, and certain chemicals. -A DTH response is basically an inflammatory response induced by T helper cells. - Hallmark : delay in time and recruitment of Macrophages Effector phase - occurs after second exposure to the antigen. Peaks at 48 The DTH response has two hr) phases - sensitization and effector phases. T cells specific for the antigen secrete cytokines (IFN-γγγ, TNF-β) that recruit and activate macrophages and other inflammatory cells. These cells then mediate the DTH response. Sensitization phase occurs on first contact with antigen. Helper T cells are activated but mediate no DTH response.

  • A Novel CD4+ CTL Subtype Characterized by Chemotaxis and Inflammation Is Involved in the Pathogenesis of Graves’ Orbitopa
    Cellular & Molecular Immunology www.nature.com/cmi ARTICLE OPEN A novel CD4+ CTL subtype characterized by chemotaxis and inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of Graves’ orbitopathy Yue Wang1,2,3,4, Ziyi Chen 1, Tingjie Wang1,2, Hui Guo1, Yufeng Liu2,3,5, Ningxin Dang3, Shiqian Hu1, Liping Wu1, Chengsheng Zhang4,6,KaiYe2,3,7 and Bingyin Shi1 Graves’ orbitopathy (GO), the most severe manifestation of Graves’ hyperthyroidism (GH), is an autoimmune-mediated inflammatory disorder, and treatments often exhibit a low efficacy. CD4+ T cells have been reported to play vital roles in GO progression. To explore the pathogenic CD4+ T cell types that drive GO progression, we applied single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq), T cell receptor sequencing (TCR-Seq), flow cytometry, immunofluorescence and mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) assays to evaluate CD4+ T cells from GO and GH patients. scRNA-Seq revealed the novel GO-specific cell type CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), which are characterized by chemotactic and inflammatory features. The clonal expansion of this CD4+ CTL population, as demonstrated by TCR-Seq, along with their strong cytotoxic response to autoantigens, localization in orbital sites, and potential relationship with disease relapse provide strong evidence for the pathogenic roles of GZMB and IFN-γ-secreting CD4+ CTLs in GO. Therefore, cytotoxic pathways may become potential therapeutic targets for GO. 1234567890();,: Keywords: Graves’ orbitopathy; single-cell RNA sequencing; CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes Cellular & Molecular Immunology

These are primarily microbes (germs)—tiny, infection-causing Bacteria: organisms such as bacteria, viruses, streptococci parasites, and fungi. Because the human body provides an ideal environment for many microbes, they try to break in. It is the immune system’s job to keep them out or, failing that, to seek out and destroy them. Virus: When the immune system hits the wrong herpes virus target or is crippled, however, it can unleash a torrent of diseases, including allergy, arthritis, or AIDS. The immune system is amazingly complex. It can recognize and remember millions of Parasite: different enemies, and it can produce schistosome secretions and cells to match up with and wipe out each one of them.

  • Late Stages of T Cell Maturation in the Thymus
    ARTICLES Late stages of T cell maturation in the thymus involve NF-B and tonic type I interferon signaling Yan Xing, Xiaodan Wang, Stephen C Jameson & Kristin A Hogquist Positive selection occurs in the thymic cortex, but critical maturation events occur later in the medulla. Here we defined the precise stage at which T cells acquired competence to proliferate and emigrate. Transcriptome analysis of late gene changes suggested roles for the transcription factor NF-B and interferon signaling. Mice lacking the inhibitor of NF-B (IB) kinase (IKK) kinase TAK1 underwent normal positive selection but exhibited a specific block in functional maturation. NF-B signaling provided protection from death mediated by the cytokine TNF and was required for proliferation and emigration. The interferon signature was independent of NF-B; however, thymocytes deficient in the interferon- (IFN-) receptor IFN-R showed reduced expression of the transcription factor STAT1 and phenotypic abnormality but were able to proliferate. Thus, both NF-B and tonic interferon signals are involved in the final maturation of thymocytes into naive T cells. T cell development occurs in the thymus, which provides a unique reside predominantly in the medulla; however, not all SP thymocytes microenvironment and presents ligands consisting of self peptide and are equivalent. major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules to T cell anti- CD24hiQa2lo SP thymocytes have been defined as ‘semi-mature’ gen receptors (TCRs).

    Category: Cells Helper and Cytotoxic T cells Original author: Tracy Hussell, University of Manchester, UK UpdatedMelissa Bedard, by: Hannah MRC Jeffery,Human Immunology University of Unit, Birmingham University of Oxford T cells are so called because they are predominantly produced in the thymus. They recognise foreign particles (antigen) by a surface expressed, highly variable, T cell receptor (TCR). There are two major types of T cells: the helper T cell and the cytotoxic T cell. As the names suggest helper T cells ‘help’ other cells of the immune system, whilst cytotoxic T cells kill virally infected cells and tumours. Unlike antibody, the TCR cannot bind antigen directly. Instead it needs to have broken-down peptides of the antigen ‘presented’ to it by an antigen presenting cell (APC). The molecules on the APC that present the antigen are called major histocompatibility complexes (MHC). There are two types of MHC: MHC class I and MHC class II. MHC class I presents to cytotoxic T cells; MHC class II presents to helper T cells. The binding of the TCR to the MHC molecule containing the antigen peptide is a little unstable and so co-receptors are required. The CD4 co-receptor (left image, below) is expressed by helper T cells and the CD8 co-receptor (right image, below) by cytotoxic T cells. Although most T cells express either CD4 or CD8, some express both and proportion do not express either (“double negative” (DN)). Most T cells are defined as CD4 or CD8 but some are classified into additional types such as invariant Natural Killer T cells (iNKT), and Mucosal Associated Invariant T cells (MAIT) The TCR is made up of multiple chains to assist the transmission of the signal to the T cell.

  • Cytotoxic CD8+ T Cells in Cancer and Cancer Immunotherapy
    www.nature.com/bjc REVIEW ARTICLE Cytotoxic CD8+ T cells in cancer and cancer immunotherapy Hans Raskov 1, Adile Orhan1,2, Jan Pravsgaard Christensen3 and Ismail Gögenur1,4 The functions of, and interactions between, the innate and adaptive immune systems are vital for anticancer immunity. Cytotoxic T cells expressing cell-surface CD8 are the most powerful effectors in the anticancer immune response and form the backbone of current successful cancer immunotherapies. Immune-checkpoint inhibitors are designed to target immune-inhibitory receptors that function to regulate the immune response, whereas adoptive cell-transfer therapies use CD8+ T cells with genetically modified receptors—chimaeric antigen receptors—to specify and enhance CD8+ T-cell functionality. New generations of cytotoxic T cells with genetically modified or synthetic receptors are being developed and evaluated in clinical trials. Furthermore, combinatory regimens might optimise treatment effects and reduce adverse events. This review summarises advances in research on the most prominent immune effectors in cancer and cancer immunotherapy, cytotoxic T cells, and discusses possible implications for future cancer treatment.
