T cell molecules
• T cell receptor = TCR• CD3 - signaling molecule• CD4 - on T helper cells• CD8 - on T cytotoxic cells
• “CD” = cluster of differentiation - used in describing many molecules of immune system
![Page 15: Immunology 2 nd Med 2009](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814a4e550346895db76e9f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
For T cells to function ….
• Need TCR - binds antigen• Need CD3 - signals binding• Need antigen to be “presented” APC• Antigen has to be bound to “MHC” mols.• Co-stimulation signal to T cell ….
![Page 16: Immunology 2 nd Med 2009](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814a4e550346895db76e9f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
MHC molecules
Major Histocompatability Complex = MHC• 2 types• MHC class I• MHC class II• Enable T cells to react with antigen• MHC = transplantation antigens - also called
HLA molecules = human leucocyte antigens
![Page 17: Immunology 2 nd Med 2009](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814a4e550346895db76e9f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Don Wiley, died 2001
I'm sorry, but I just don't understand anything in biology unless I know what it looks like.'
Scientist, crystallographer
![Page 21: Immunology 2 nd Med 2009](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56814a4e550346895db76e9f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Don Wiley - appreciation
"Wiley was a crystallographer: this is the ultimate molecular biology. ...The image of a class I MHC protein with its peptide cargo firmly in place will stand as a landmark Wiley discovery that forever changed the field of immunology.…”

CYTOKINES
Cells of the immune system ‘talk’ to each other by producing cytokines - like
‘text messages’ informing cells what their function should be!

Cytokines and T cells
• Depending on the antigen, APC may produce different sets of cytokines
• These cytokines determine the type of T cell that proliferates
• Different types of T cells produce specific sets of cytokines
