39
Q

Type I Hypersensitivity

A

Too much IgE production in response to environmental antigen leading to mast cell and basophil release of histamine, causing synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotreines, such as hay fever and asthma.

40
Q

Type II Hypersensitivity

A

Autoimmunity due to antibodies that react against self, such as hemolytic disease of maternal antibodies reacting to fetal RBCs, Myasthenia Gravis (AChR antibodies), and Good Pasture’s Syndrome (Basement membrane antibodies causing nephritis).

41
Q

Type III Hypersensitivity

A

Immune complexes of antigen and antibody that get stuck in small vessels, such as the kidneys, joints, pleura and skin. Complement is activated to respond to the antigen-antibody complex and healthy tissues are destroyed in the process, which happens in Lupus (making antibody to own DNA) and RA (making antibody to antibody).

42
Q

Type IV Hypersensitivity

A

Cell-mediated hypersensitivity caused by activated CD4+ T-Cells (autoimune or innocent bystander injury); Contact hypersensitivity, TB reactions, Granulomatous hypersensitivity

43
Q

59
Q

What type of cell and receptor presents antigen to CD4+ Helper T-Cells in the lymph node or spleen?

A

Dendritic Cells on MHC II

60
Q

What cell types express MHC I?

A

All cells of the body except RBCs

61
Q

Why would it be better for the immune system to kill an infected cell than to let the virus kill it?

A

An infected viral cell has the potential to produce 100-1000s of viral particles during the cell death process. By making the cell commit apoptosis, then the virus can’t replicate.

62
Q

How is killing facilitated by CD8+ cytotoxic T-Cells?

A

FAS presented on a target cell binds to FAS ligand on the T-cell to induce caspase activation and apoptosis

63
Q

What cytokines can be released by CD8+ T-Cells?

A

TNF, Perforin, and Granzymes

64
Q

Describe Positive Selection of T-Cells in the Thymus.

A

T-cells must recognize MHC Class I or MHC Class II molecules (Self-Restriction)
CD4 T-Cell recognizes MHC II
CD8 T-Cell recognizes MHC I

65
Q

Describe Negative Selection of T-Cells in the Thymus.

A

T-cells that recognize self-antigens bound to MHC II are killed (T-cells need to be tolerant to self-antigens)

66
Q

What lymphocyte markers do T-Cells express?

A

All express CD3 (part of TCR)
Some express CD4
Some express CD8

67
Q

What lymphocyte markers do B -Cells express?

A

CD40 (BCR), CD79a and CD79b

No need for MHC recognition!

68
Q

IgG

A

Two adjacent IgG molecules form a hexamer of IgG to activate complement
Passes through placenta
Replaces IgM after a week or two.

69
Q

IgM

A

Polymeric immunoglobulin even better at activating complement than IgG and first antibody type to appear after new pathogen exposure.
IgM secreted from a B-cell is in a pentamer form.

70
Q

IgD

A

Main antibody inserted in B-cell membranes as an antigen receptor

71
Q

IgA

A

Antibody in the secretions associated with Secretory Component (allows IgA to cross through the epithelial cells into the mucosal layer)
Secretory component makes IgA resistant to digestive enzymes, as it is the first line of defense in mucous membranes.

72
Q

IgE

A

Attach to mast cells and when bound to antigen, will cause the mast cell to produce prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and cytokines and release granules of histamine.
Provides resistance to hemalinths

73
Q

Describe the pathway of immunity to disease.

A
  1. When an antigen penetrates the mucous membranes, it can encounter T and B cells that produce IgA and sometimes IgE.
  2. IgA is secreted to establish local immunity.
  3. If the antigen reaches local lymph nodes or spleen, IgM will be produced first, followed by IgG.
