What unique proteins are associated with regulatory T cells (T-regs)?
19. All of the following are characteristic of regulatory T cells (Tregs) EXCEPT? A) Expressed CD25 b) Express CD4 C) Secrete IL-10 D) Facilitate proliferation of naive T cells E) Expressed MHC class II-restricted TCRs 20. Homing of effector T cells to inflamed tissues is facilitated by the upregulation of_ on the surface of T cells. a) L-selectin b) CD28 c) VLA-4 d) VCAM-1 e) B7

1.A 23-year-old male presents to the clinic with an intestinal helminth infection likely acquired during a backpacking trip through Central and South America. Which of the following helper T cell polarization states direct IgE production, eosinophil activation, mucus secretion, and peristalsis that act in concert to expel this class of pathogen? a.Treg b.Th17 c.Th2 d.Th1 2. In a secondary lymphoid tissue, an immature dendritic cell that lacks cell surface expression of the B7 proteins (CD80 and CD86) presents a class II MHC-peptide complex to a naïve CD4+ T cell expressing an αβ (alpha beta) T cell receptor (TCR) of the appropriate specificity. Which of the following is the most likely fate of this T cell? a.Migration to the thymus b.Clonal expansion c.Anergy d.Migration to the bone marrow e.Migration into a follicle
