Where is eotaxin found?
at sites of allergic inflammation cause chemotaxis to site for eosinohpils
67
What does corticosteroids do to eosinophils?
Steroids induce rapid apoptosis of eosinophils | inhibit production of IL-5, leading to decreased release from marrow as well as increased apoptosis
68
How is hte effect of corticosteroids on eosinophils mediated?
by steroid binding to GR-alpha and inhibiting AP-1 and NFkB
69
What si the role of IL-5 on eosinophils?

70
What is the histological structure of eosinophil?
nucleas horhsoe with crystalloid granules | crystalloid granules have both a core and a matrix
71
Asthma pathophysiology is composed of what?
inflammatory cell infiltrate consists of mainly eosinophils and lymphocytes Sudden death asthma associated with neutrohpil infiltrate Denudation of airway epithelium mucus gland hyperplasia and hypersecretion smooth muscle cell hyperplasia submucosal edema and vascular dilatation fibring deposotion/airway reomodeling
72
What are the mediators of anaphylaxis?
histamine -H1: smooth muscle contractiona dn vascular permeability H2: vascular permeability H1+H2 Vasodilation, pruritis Leukotrienes smooth muscle contraction vascular permeability and dilation NO smooth muscle relaxation vascular permeability and dilation
73
In type II hypersensitivity to some drugs what does IgG react wtih?
the cell bound drug
74
What disease does type II hypersensitivity cause when drug is hypersensitive?
