CYTOKINES • Low molecular • Soluble protein messengers • Common subunit receptors (heterodimers) Lymphocyte derived lymphokine Monocyte derived Monokine Involved ın leukocyte interaction Interleukines
Affecting the secreting cell Autocrine • Affecting nearby cells Parecrine • Affecting distant cells Endocrine Thee effects of the cytokines may be: • Antagonistic • Additive • Synergistic
Chemokines • Chemoatractant cytokines 4 types: C CC CXC CX3C
Molecules involved in innate immunity • TNF-alpha • IL-1 • IL-10 • IL-12 • Type I interferons • IFN-gamma • Chemokines
Molecules involved in adaptive immunity • IL-2 • IL-4 • IL-5 • TGF-beta
Adhesion molecules • Stable cell contact • Types: • Integrines: Combinations of alpha and beta chains interacting with molecules of IG-superfamily • Selectins and addressins: Trafficking leukocytes to certain tissue and/organs
Cluster of differentiation molecules • > 250 molecules • CD4 • CD8 • CD3 (TCR)
Signal transduction molecules • JAK-STAT pathway: • RAS-MAP KINASE pathway:
Immunoregulation • Anergy (absence of co-stimulation during the antigen recognition) • Downregulation of the T cell activation (CTLA-4+B7) • Activities of the cytokines • Idiotype-anti-idiotype interactions
Soluble ABsoccupy B cell receptors • AB-AG complex bind to Fcreceptors of B cells Inhibitory signals for B cells
Tregs • CD4+CD25+FoxP3 • 5-10 % of peripheral CD4 + cells • Selected ın tymus • Naturally occuring Treg: Contact-dependent supression • Induced Treg: Induced by antigen or TGF-beta or IL-10 ( Tr1 cells) • CD8+ Treg (supressor T cells – Ts): Can be induced by IL-10 or antigen
TOLERANCE • Self tolerance: Positive and negative selection in tymus (clonal deletion) • Non-self tolerance: May be induced (different Ag administration route; induction by mo.)
Large, aggegated, complex molecules, SC or IM administration, optimal dose, older or mature host, presence of fully differantiated cells (memory B and T cells) - favor immune response
Soluble, smaller, less complex Ag, Ag not presented y APC or processed by cells without MHC class II, oral or IV administration, large doses, immature or new-borne host, relatively undifferentiated cells - favor tolerance.
INDUCTION OF THE TOLERANCE • Clonal deletion • Clonal anergy • Clonal ignorence • Anti-idiotype antibodies
Autoimmunity • Breakdown of self tolerance • Genetic predispositin (HLA B8, B27, Dr2, Dr3, Dr4, Dr5,…)
- Sequestered antigens: • Clonal escape of autoreactive T cells • Lack of Treg • İnfluence of infections:
