T lymphocyte a key player in the immune system Absence or hyperactivation of T cells leads to immunodeficiency, respectively chronic inflammation or autoimmune disorders.
T Cell Belongs to Lymphocytes Can be distinguished by the expression of T cell receptor (TCR) Function: mediate cellular immunity; Thymus-derived d lymphocyte: T cell Origin: bone marrow stem cell Distributing: T Zone of secondary lymph node and peripheral blood (65-75% of total lymphocytes)

1. Development of T cells
T cells develop in Thymus
Sequential development of thymocytes Pre-T cells: no T cell marker expression Double negative cells (DN): CD4 - CD8 - ; cytoplasmic CD3 + Double positive cells (DP): CD4 + CD8 +, CD3 +, TCRR low, TCR low Mature T cells (single positive T cells): CD4 + or CD8 +, CD3 +, TCR +
Stages of T cell development defined by surface markers
Surface marker for thymocyte development 25 CD CD44 CD4 CD8 Wang et al Nature Immunology 2012
Geography of the thymus: Thymic stroma cells control the maturation of thymocytes
Stages of Thymocytes development in Thymus
Factors promoting T cell development in the thymus Cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-7) and hormones secreted by thymic stroma cells. Interaction of cell adhesion molecules between immature thymocytes and thymic stroma cells. Notch (1,2,3 are in the thymus) in the context of other stromal cell factors, interacting with its ligand(s) Delta, Jagged or Serrate, plays a role in committing the CLP to T cell lineage
The cortical epithelium of the thymus is critical for T cell development The nude mouse strain is athymic due to a mutation in the Foxn1nu gene that encodes FOXN1, a transcription factor of the forkhead box family. FOXN1 is preferentially expressed in the skin and thymus. Alteration ti of its expression in the thymus underlies the manifestation of severe immunodeficiency resulting from total absence of T cell development.

4. Functions of T cells 1. CD4 + helper T cells (Th): Th0:Th cells that secrete broad spectrum of cytokines at low level. Th1: produce IL-2 and IFN-, but not IL-4. They are chiefly responsible for cell-mediated immune responses, but can also help B cells to produce IgG2a, but not much IgG1 or IgE; Th2: secrete IL-4, 5, 10, 13, but not IL-2 and IFN-, are very efficient helper cells for production of antibody, especially of IgG1 and IgE. Th17:secrete IL17, 21,22,26 and TNF-, promote anti-bacteria and anti-fungi response. Responsible for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases Tfh: folicular helper T cells, promote B cell to develop into plasma cell and secrete antibodies

5. T cell-mediated immune response
Introduction Cell-mediated immunity is the arm of the adaptive immune response whose role is to combat infection of intracellular pathogens, such as intracellular l bacteria (mycobacteria, listeria monocytogens), viruses, protozoa, etc.
Phases of T cell responses Antigen recognition phase Activation,proliferation and differentiation phase Effector phase
Antigen recognition Ag presentation by APC
Interaction between APC and T cell Non specific binding of APC and T cell Specific binding of APC and T cell TCR-peptide-MHC co-receptor-mhc co-stimulatory molecules T cell synapse (immunological synapse)
Ligand-receptor pairs involved in T cell activation Adhesion Antigen recognition Signal Signal transduction Signal transduction transduction Adhesion
1, Formation of the Immunological Synapse When the TCR complex recognizes MHC-associated peptides on an APC, several T cell surface proteins and intracellular signaling molecules are rapidly mobilized to the site of T cell-apc contact. This region of physical contact between the T cell and the APC has been called the immunological synapse csmac : central supramolecular activation cluster (TCR/CD3, CD2, CD28, PKC lck) psmac : peripheral supramolecular activation cluster (LFA-1, Talin, CD43, CD45, CD148)
