T cell ontology Penny Morel 5/13/08
General issues • Introduce “thymocyte” to replace immature • Make definitions more precise. DN1 thymocyte - CD4- CD8- CD44+ CD25- • Introduce the concept of naïve versus antigen experienced T cell - instead of “mature” • Add additional T helper subsets - introduce transcription factors as part of the definition

Types of Effector T cells (helper) T helper 1 (Th1): CD4+ T-bet+ produce IFN-; cellular immunity to intracellular pathogens; DTH T helper 2 (Th2): CD4+ GATA-3+ produce IL-4; humoral immunity; immunity to extracellular parasites T helper 17 (Th17): CD4+ RORT produce IL-17; cellular immunity; immunity to extracellular bacteria T reg 1 (Tr1): CD4+ produce IL-10; (no signature TF) inhibit immune responses Induced Treg (iTreg): CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3+ produce TGF, IL-10; inhibit immune responses
Types of effector T cells (cytotoxic) Cytotoxic T cells (CTL): CD8+ perforin+ granzyme B+;kill infected targets Tc1: CD8+ T-bet+ Eomes+ produce IFN- kill infected targets Tc2: CD8+GATA-3+ produce IL-4. IL-13; less cytotoxic Tc17: CD8+ ?RORT+ produce IL-17; ?cytotoxic Treg: CD8+ FoxP3+ suppress immune responses
