Allergic response and autoimmune Flashcards
Type 1 hypersensitivity
Anaphylactic, due to inhaled particulate, IgE on granulocyte cells (mast cells, eosinophils)
Mast cell soup
Enzymes for tissue remodelling, histamine and heparin (usually to fight parasites). TNF-alpha
Produced after, lots of IL, chemokine (CCL3), leukotrienes, platelet activation factor
IL-4 and 13
Mast cell
Stimulate and amplify Th2 response, IL-4 is key for selecting IgE production in b-cells
IL-3 and 5
Mast cell and eosinophil
promote eosinophil production and activation (type 1 response)
CCL3
mast cell
chemokine for leukocytes
Leukotrienes
smooth muscle contraction, vascular permeability, mucus production
Platelet activating factor
chemotactic, increases lipid mediators
Arachidonic acid
membrane fatty acid converted to leukotrienes or prostaglandins
Mast cell effect on GI
increased fluid secretion and peristalsis to move things out
Mast cell effect on airways
inflammation and increase mucus secretion
Mast cell effect on BV
increased blood flow and permeability, increased lymph flow and inflammation
Eosinophil location
underlying epithelial/ mucosal surfaces (respiratory, GI, urogenital tract), very little in blood
Eosinophil soup
immediate
Peroxidase (kills and triggers histamine from mast cells),collagenase,major basic protein (toxic releases histamine), eosinophilcationic protein (neurotoxin)
Produced
IL 3 and 5 (increase eosinophil production in bone marrow), CXCL8 chemokine, leukotrienes, platelet activating factor
Eosinophil peroxidase
Eosinophil
toxic via halogenation, also triggers release of histamine from mast cells
Eosinophil collagenase
remodels connective matrix
major basic protein
eosinophil
toxic to parasites and our cells, also triggers histamine release from mast cells
eosiznophilcationic protein
toxic to parasites and neurotoxin
Basophil granules
IL-4 and IL-13 for Th2 activation
GI type 1 reaction
activated mast cells degranulate into BV causing wide spread urticaria, SMC issues, vomiting and diarrhea
