A T-cell precursors migrate from the
bone marrow to thymus
Shaping the T-cell repertoire.
Positive and negative selection Thymus
Few TCR reacts with
the MHC (about 2%) most
T-cells die of neglect.
( no survival signals)
α-chain rearrangement can
continue until the assembly of
a functional αβ receptor
has been assembled.

Multiple stages of T-cell development in the thymus
Dendritic cells take up antigen in the tissues, migrate to peripheral lymphoid
organs, and present foreign antigens to naive T cells.

Activation, migration to the regional lymph node, maturation

The imunological synapse
Clustering of the T-cell receptor and a co-receptor
initiates signaling within the T cell.

T CELL ACTIVATION
CHARACTERISTICS OF T-CELL ANTIGEN RECOGNITION
1. The TCR is not able to interact directly with soluble or cell-bound antigen
2. T-cell activation can be induced by antigen in the presence of acessory
cells, only
3. T-cells recognize virus-infected cells

Intracellular (cytoplasmatic) Ca2+ concentration increase
The intracytoplasmatic Ca2+ increase can be monitored by
fluorescent indicator dye. The intensity or the specificity of
fluorescence increase paralelly with the Ca2+ concentration.

Kinetic measurements connected to
signaling (2.)
Fluo-3 AM – excitable by blue light
Indo-1 AM – excitable by UV light
These indicator dyes connected with apolar groups (e.g. acetoxy-methylester:
AM) – go across the cell membrane. In the cell, estherases cleveage these
groups - the fluorochrome became polar – catched in the cell

CO-STIMULATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR PRIMING OF
NAIVE T LYMPHOCYTES
The antigen-specific and the co-stimulatory signals have to be
induced in concert to induce T lymphocyte activation
The antigen-specific and co-stimulatory signals can be
delivered simultaneously by professional antigen presenting
cells, only
The antigen-specific and the co-stimulatory singnals has to be
delivered by the same professional antigen presenting cell

The T cell is unable to produce IL-2 and
therefore is unable to proliferate or be clonally
selected.
Unlike immunosupressive drugs that inhibit ALL
specificities of T cell, Signal 1 in the absence of
signal 2 causes T cell unresponsiveness to a
specific antigen
Dendritic cells are sensors, gatekeepers and messengers
Activation induces a phenotype essential for
the initiation of the adaptive immune response

The stages of activation of CD4 T cells.
Different cytokine environments drive the differentiation
of CD4 T cells that make different cytokines and have
different functions.
Responses to Mycobacterium leprae are sharply
differentiated in tuberculoid and lepromatous leprosy.

pathogens resist elimination

The three types of effector T cell produce distinct
sets of effector molecules.
TH1 CD4 cells activate macrophages
to become highly microbicidal.
TH2 cells stimulate the proliferation and
differentiation of naive B cells.
