immunology chapter 9 : activation of T lymphocytesprincesa_mera
1. T lymphocyte activation involves recognition of antigen peptides presented by MHC molecules on antigen presenting cells. This provides an initial activation signal that is enhanced by costimulatory molecules like B7 and CD28.
2. Upon activation, naive T cells proliferate extensively through clonal expansion, increasing the number of antigen-specific T cells by 100,000-fold. They also differentiate into effector T cell subsets.
3. The main effector T cell subsets are TH1 and TH2 cells, distinguished by their cytokine production. TH1 cells produce IFNγ and activate macrophages, while TH2 cells produce IL-4 and stimulate antibody class switching and eosinophil responses.

interruptions (turn phone calls into email)
• E-mail noise on new mail is an
interruption

Great time management skills will make
you successful in your endeavors.
www.caaa.in 20
21. When using time management to plan your
day, ask yourself a few key questions:
• What is the goal I‟m trying to accomplish?
• What is the deadline for that goal?
• What are the outcomes of not achieving this
deadline?
www.caaa.in 21
22. Steps:
• Setting goals
• Prioritizing
• Learning to say „No‟
• Organizing your work and meeting
deadlines
• Avoiding procrastination
www.caaa.in 22
25. Delegation
• No one is an island
• You can accomplish a lot more with help
www.caaa.in 25
26. Delegation is not dumping
• Give power with responsibility.
• Concrete goal, deadline, and consequences.
• Treat your people well
www.caaa.in 26
27. Challenge People
• People rise to the challenge: You should delegate
“until they complain”
• Communication Must Be Clear: “Get it in
writing” – Judge Wapner
• Give objectives, not procedures
• Tell the relative importance of this task
www.caaa.in 27
28. Learn to say “No”
• Will this help me set priorities right?
• Will this help me do my job well?
• Will this help me avoid unnecessary
distraction?
www.caaa.in 28
30. Avoiding Procrastination
• Doing things at the last minute is much
more expensive than just before the last
minute
• Deadlines are really important: establish
your own deadlines
www.caaa.in 30
34. Pareto‟s Principle
• 80% of Work gives 20% Results & 20% of Work
gives 80% Results
• One Rs.500/- v/s Hundred Rs.5/-
• Effective v/s Efficient
• Smart work v/s Hard work
www.caaa.in 34
36. Quadrant I
• Represents things that are both “urgent” and
“important” – we need to spend time here
• This is where we manage, we produce, where we
bring our experience and judgment to bear in
responding to many needs and challenges.
www.caaa.in 36
37. Quadrant II
• Includes activities that are “important, but not
urgent”- Quadrant of Quality
• Here‟s where we do our long-range planning,
anticipate and prevent problems, empower others,
broaden our minds and increase our skills
• Ignoring this Quadrant feeds and enlarges
Quadrant I, creating stress, burnout, and deeper
crises for the person consumed by it
www.caaa.in 37
38. Quadrant III
• Includes things that are “urgent, but not
important” - Quadrant of Deception.
• The noise of urgency creates the illusion of
importance.
• Actual activities, if they‟re important at all, are
important to someone else.
• Many phone calls, meetings and drop-in visitors
fall into this category
www.caaa.in 38
39. Quadrant IV
• Reserved for activities that are “not urgent, not
important”- Quadrant of Waste
• We often “escape” to Quadrant IV for survival
• Reading addictive novels, watching mindless
television shows, or gossiping at office would
qualify as Quadrant IV time-wasters
www.caaa.in 39
40. Is it bad to be in Quadrant I?
• Are you in Quadrant I because of the urgency or
the importance?
• If urgency dominates, when importance fades,
you‟ll slip into Quadrant III.
• But if you‟re in Quadrant I because of importance,
when urgency fades you‟ll move to Quadrant II.
www.caaa.in 40
41. Where do I get time to spend in
Quadrant II?
• From Quadrant III
• Time spent in Quadrant I is both urgent and
important- we already know we need to be there
• We know we shouldn‟t be there in Quadrant IV
www.caaa.in 41
