LFA-1

  • if T cell recognizes MHC class II, it binds

  • LFA-1bound to ICAM-1 undergoes conformational changes, increasing affinity and prolonging cell-cell contact

  • patients with leukocyte adhesion deficiency have a high white count because the cells are all floating in the bloodstream and are neither marginating nor living in peripheral tissues

  • they can’t make T helper cells very well because not many cytokines are being produced

  • remember the timing: this happened when the kid still had many of the mom’s antibodies on board
