Principles of innate immunity • 不具專一性 • 參與之細胞:Macrophage, neutrophils and NKcell • 產生之反應:inflammatory responses • 症狀:heat 、swelling 、pain
The inter-talk between innate immunity and acquired immunity
Antigen-Presenting Cells • Activated innate immunity could activated antigen-specific cells • Three main kinds of antigen-presenting cells (APC) • Dendritic cells • Macrophages • B- cells • APCs can in turn activate antigen-specific T cell activity
Principles of adaptive immunity • 具專一性及記憶性 • 參與細胞:T cells (CD4+T cells and CD8+T cells)and B Cells • 反應慢,活化時間長
Acquired immunity • Specificity • Every T cell and B cell has its own unique T cell receptor or B cell receptor • Every TCR/BCR can recognize one specific antigen • Clonal expansion • Proliferation of antigen-specific T or B cells after ligation with APCs • Memory • After activation, T/B cell can differentiate into memory T/B cells
Kinetics of host responses during a primary acute viral infection • Innate Immunity • Acquired Immnuity

The transcription factor Foxp3 • Foxp3 gene : the disease-causative gene in Scurfy mice, which spontaneously develop severe autoimmunity/inflammation as a result of a single gene mutation on the X chromosome • Mutations of the human FOXP3 gene: the cause of a similar human disease called IPEX (immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked syndrome) • CD25+CD4+ peripheral T cells and CD25+CD4+CD8- thymocytes specifically expressed Foxp3 mRNA
The transcription factor Foxp3 • Retroviral transduction of Foxp3 to normal CD25-CD4+ T cells converted them into phenotypically and functionally TR-like cells. • In BM chimera with a mixture of BM cells from wild-type and Foxp3-deficient mice, Foxp3-deficient BM cells failed to give rise to CD25+CD4+ T cells, while Foxp3-intact BM cells generated them and suppressed disease development. • These findings collectively indicated that the transcription factor Foxp3 could be a master controller of the development and function of natural CD25+CD4+ TR cells.
The transcription factor Foxp3 • Not all Treg cells express Foxp 3 molecule • Not all cell express Foxp 3 could behave like Treg cell • Human CD4+CD25-T cells could transiently express low level of Foxp 3 without suppression function
Heterogeneous groups of Treg cells • Natural Treg cells • Induced Treg cells • TH3 cells (TGF-) • Tr1 (IL-10) • Regulatory CD8+T cell • Regulatory NK T cell • CD4-CD8- (DN) T cells • T cells

Treg cell mediated phenomenon • Bystander suppression • Infectious tolerance/linked suppression
Treg cell mediated phenomenon • Bystander suppression • suppressive activity of Treg cells requires their prior activation through their T cell receptor • once activated, Treg cells suppress in an antigen-nonspecific way • Treg cells with one antigen specificity can suppress effector T cells (Teff cells) with many other distinct antigen specificities
