Term
Name two NK cell inhibitory receptors
Definition

Killer cell immunoglobulin like receptor

 

Receptor with protein CD94 and a lectin subunit NKG2

Term

Both NK cell inhibitory receptors contain what?

How do they become activated?

Definition

immnoreceptor tyrosine based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs)

 

1. When receptors bind class I MHC molecues, they become phosphorylated on tyrosine residues.

2. The phosphorylated ITIMs bind and promotes the activation of cytoplasmic protein tyrosine phosphatases.

3. Thses phosphatases remove phosphate gropus from the tyrosine residues of various signaling moelcules and thus block the activated of NK cells through activating receptors.

Definition

Alternate triggered by microbial surfaces : Innate

Classic triggered by antibodies : Adaptive

Term
What activates the lectin pathway?
Definition

Is the lectin pathway Innate or Adaptive? What does it activate
Definition
It is innate, but activates the classic pathway
Term
