CD8+ T Cells (Zhаng) (A) CD8+ T cells in circulаtiоn enter lymph nоdes by crоssing the wаlls of high endothelial venules (HEVs). Briefly describe the major events of CD8+ T cells entry into lymph nodes, focusing on adhesion molecules, chemokines and receptors. (3 points) (B) Please list the major signaling events from antigen presenting cells (APC) for full activation of CD8+ T cells. (1.5 points) (C) In the case of weak co-stimulation, full activation of CD8+ T cells needs the help from CD4+ T helper cells. Briefly describe the process of how CD4+ T cells educate APCs for the full activation of CD8+ T cells. (1.5 points) Solid cancers are heterogeneous, containing some cancer cells with normal MHC I expression and some cancer cells with very low MHC I expression. You engineer chimeric antigen receptor CD8 T cells (CAR-T) to target a tumor neoantigen in a patient’s breast cancer. Although the CAR-T cells very efficiently kill cancer cells expressing MHC-1/antigen complex, a much higher CAR-T/cancer cell ratio is required to kill MHC-1/antigen-negative cancer cells. (D) Please briefly describe the major effector molecules for efficient killing of cancer cells expressing MHC-1/antigen complex. (3 points) (E) Please name an effector molecule involved in the non-efficient killing of cancer cells that are negative for MHC-1/antigen expression. (1 point)
