note that the Co-carcinogenesis hypotheses claims that most, not all but most cancers are a carcinogen with a nuclear virus.

TH9 secretes il-9 which inhibits tumor growth and il-21 which is involved with nuclear or mitochondrial viruses.

il-21 helps differentiate CTL and triggers TH17 ( TGF-B1 and il-21 together trigger TH17 to secrete il-26 (nuclear membrane popping) il-19 mitochondria popping and il-17F which calls CTL to the area.

CTL active in both cytosol or organelle viral infections

B7 activation or il-2 can trigger CTL

il-2 induces fas ligand in CTL
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9190908

note that B7 would be used with MHC1 which are mito or nuclear viruses while il-2 would be with TH1 infections of the cytosol...thus the CTL kills with FAS apoptosis

Specialized antibody clean-up : If the hormones influence the type of antibody produced by Bcells are there specialized cells in those areas to clean up the antibodies?

Elucidating the function of natural Treg and inducible Treg


Natural Treg aka Thymus Treg are the T regulatory cells responsible for focusing the immune system on one zone.

3 Zones are involved in infections:

1.Outside of host cells which involves a burst of il-4 from basophils trigger TH2 reaction pathways

2. Just inside the cytosol of host cells which involves TH1 and a burst of il-2 and CTLs kill using FAS.

3. Then inside of the organelles of cells (the mitochondria or the nucleus)  where TGF-B1 levels are high  from platelets and CTLs kill infected cells with mhc1.

Natural Treg have receptors for each of these: il-2r (cd25),  il-4r, and a TGF-B1 receptor so that when Treg are circulating in the bloodstream they can immediately help focus the reactions.

When natural Treg see one pathway started they secrete cytokines to shut down the other 2 pathways.

il-4 bound and it secretes il-10 which stops TH1 and il-35 which stops CTL or cd8 reactions

il-2 bound and it secretes TGF-B1 which stops TH2 pathways and il-35 which stops CD8 reactions

TGF-B1 bound and it secretes TGF-B1 which stops TH2 pathways and il-10 which stops TH1 pathways.

Inducible Treg aka Adaptive Treg stop the immune reactions when the infection is killed off and gone.

They are specialized and secrete to stop the ongoing pathway used to kill the infection.

Tr1 secretes il-10 stopping TH1
TH3 secretes TGF-B1 stopping TH2
iTr35 secretes il-35 which inhibits and stops CTL

RANTES which is also involved in producing memory cells at the end of an infection may recruit and differentiate the iTregs.

Rantes and iTreg

nTreg get a TGF-B1 burst from platelets?

Some viral infections trigger platelet activation. Platelets have tlr7 and tlr9 which I previously linked to nuclear and mitochondrial antigens. Do Platelets release most of the TGF-B1?

two types of ulcerative colitis ?

review of Campylobacteria
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7941533

The H. pylori use to be a type of Campylobacter.  (campylo means  curved rod, comma shape)

like H.pylori,  Campylobacter fetus can cause ulcers

broccoli sprouts can be found at whole food and other organic food stores?

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17482995 

My thoughts....c.diff may not really be the culprit. C. sordellii which is closely related makes urease like H. Pylori.  H. pylori we know causes ulcers.

I wish I could tell if c.sordellii is one of the few that can use Casein.

Other thoughts:
Daisy/chamomile allergy
The natural treatment of ulcerative colitis is chamomile and people I know with ulcerative colitis have Daisy/mum/chamomile allergies. I wonder what is going on.  There are more thoughts on the earlier ulcerative colitis page

Somatic hypermutation: prediction that IgG2 like IgG3 has very little



CD8 cells not found in GC
http://clincancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/23/1/250

IgG3 has very little somatic hypermutation
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5413556/


FDC follicular dendritic cell
mD myeloid dendritic cell
pD plasmacytoid dendritic cell

Dendritic cells are " pacmans " of the immune system picking up antigens  (related to macrophages)

MHC are mailboxes for showing antigens to T cells

The CD4  and CD8 are clips that hold the mailbox while the TCR t cell receptor looks at the antigen.

Note that T cells are educated in the thymus to know inside self antigens. While the B cells and the BCR b cell receptor is educated to know outside self antigens.  The BCR is the reason for somatic hypermutation. BCRs are literally worn antibodies.  The somatic hypermutation improves the binding and creates a strong binding antibody.

Comparing T and B memory cells: is this possible?

T cells

Central memory cells : lymph : TCR weak high number of interactions: medium life

Effector cells: circulating: TCR strong: short life

Tissue resident memory cells: tissue: il-7 : long life

memory t cells and il-7
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28912605

TCR and il-7
http://www.jimmunol.org/content/169/7/3752

Does il-7 replace the activation of the TCR in the B zone and over time creates the T memory cells with long life?

B cells

Central memory : lymph : BCR weak high number of interactions : medium life

Effector: circulating: BCR strong (plasma to bone marrow): short life

Spleen resident memory in red pulp  : spleen : il-6? : long life

Megakaryocytes produce il-6

we already know that b cells will produce the IgM antibody with just il-6 and no BCR activation

so is this how high affinity B memory cells are made? il-6 exposure in the red pulp ?


Note that T cells' TCR memory is involved with inner antigens: TH the cytosol and Tc the mitochondria/nucleus while Bcells' BCR and memory are involved with outer antigens.
