T cells are programmed in the thymus gland and provide what is called cell-mediated immunity. T cells develop into at least three different cell types.
T细胞在胸腺编程,提供细胞介导免疫。T细胞发展为至少3种细胞类型。
● FIGURE Cell-mediated immune response.
细胞介导免疫应答
1. Effector or cytotoxic T cells are found throughout the body. These T cells are aggressive against non–self-cells, releasing cytokines, or chemicals, that can either directly destroy a foreign cell or mark it for aggressive destruction by phagocytes in the area via an inflammatory response. These non–self-cells have membrane-identifying antigens that are different from those established by the person’s MHC. They may be the body’s own cells that have been invaded by a virus, which changes the cell membrane; neoplastic cancer cells; or transplanted foreign cells.
2. Helper T cells respond to the chemical indicators of immune activity and stimulate other lymphocytes, including B cells, to be more aggressive and responsive.
辅助T细胞对免疫活性化学指标作出响应,刺激其他淋巴细胞变得更有攻击性和响应性,包括B细胞。
3. Suppressor T cells respond to rising levels of chemicals associated with an immune response to suppress or slow the reaction. The balance of the helper and suppressor T cells allows for a rapid response to body injury or invasion by pathogens, which may destroy foreign antigens immediately and then be followed by a slowing reaction if the invasion continues. This slowing allows the body to conserve energy and the components of the immune and inflammatory reaction necessary for basic protection and to prevent cellular destruction from a continued inflammatory reaction.

1. The client with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Pneumocystis jiroveci infection has been receiving pentamidine. The client develops a temperature of 101 °F (38.3 °C). The nurse continues to assess the client, knowing that this sign most likely indicates which condition?
A. That the dose of the medication is too low
B. That the client is experiencing toxic effects of the medication
C. That the client has developed inadequacy of thermoregulation
D. That the client has developed another infection caused by leukopenic effects of the medication 2. The nurse caring for a client who is taking an aminoglycoside should monitor the client for which adverse effects of the medication? Select all that apply.
A. Seizures
B. Ototoxicity
C. Renal toxicity
D. Dysrhythmias
E. Hepatotoxicity
1. D
Rationale: Frequent adverse effects of this medication include leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia. The client should be monitored routinely for signs and symptoms of infection. Options 1, 2, and 3 are inaccurate interpretations. 2. B, C, D
Rationale: Aminoglycosides are administered to inhibit the growth of bacteria. Adverse effects of this medication include confusion, ototoxicity, renal toxicity, gastrointestinal irritation, palpitations or dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and hypersensitivity reactions. Therefore, the remaining options are incorrect.
