fibrosis and enlargment of the salivary and lacrimal glands; often seen in sjrogen syndrome

38
Q

Rejection: T cells and antibodies made against the grafts antigens attack and destroy it.

Major antigenic differences between a donor and recipient that cause rejection are differences in what?

A

HLA alleles, because they’re highly polymorphic

39
Q

what are the differences between allografts and xenografts?

A

Allografts: grafts from the SAME species

Xenografts: grafts from DIFFERENT species.

40
Q

After transplantation, the recipient’s T cells recognize donor antigens from the graft in 2 ways:

A
  1. Direct allorecognition: donors DC’s present the antigen directly to receipients MHC I and II complexes of T cells => immediate anti-graft response
  2. Indirect allorecogntion: RECIEPEINTS DC’s capture the antigen and present them to their own cells
41
Q

In direct allo-recognition, what is the most important for initiating an anti-graft response?

A

Donor’s APC

42
Q

What is the direct pathway for recognition of alloantigens in organ grafts?

Why are the DCs in the donor organs most important for initiating the antigraft response?

A
  1. Donor APC presents antigen on MHC Class 1/2 and presents to hosts CD4+/CD8+ molecules.
  2. CD4+ release IFN-y and + MO => tissue damage and inflammation
  3. CD8+ => CTLs and kill GRAFT CELLS IN BV

APCs are the most important because they express alot of MHC complexes and co-stim molecules

43
Q

What is involved in the indirect pathway of allorecognition in organ grafts?

Which immune cells are involved here?

A

Hosts APC presents to its own T-cells

  1. The host/recipients DC capture grafts antigens, display them onto MHC 2 molecules and presents to the CD4 cell => => activate macrophages (by releasing IFN-y) or B cells, which then make AB-secreting plasma cells =>attack BV

CD8+ CTLs may be made BUT CANNOT KILL graft cells because these CTLs recognize graft antigens presented by the host’s APCs and cannot recognize the graft cells directly.

44
Q

Which is a type 4 delayed hypersensitivity reaction?

Direct or indirect pathway of allorecognition?

A

INDIRECT PATHWAY

45
Q

What kind of damage occurs from CD8+ CTLs that may be generated from the indirect pathway for recognition of alloantigens in organ grafts?

In indirect allo-recognition, what is the most important for initiating an anti-graft response?

A

CTLS cannot KILLL!!!!

Cytokines released from T-cells and inflammation

46
Q

What characterizes acute cellular rejection; cell type responsible?

Graft injury is caused by?

Commonly seen when?

A
  • CD4+ T cells secrete cytokines => cause inflammation ( increased vascular permeability and local accumulation of mononuclear cells (lymphocytes and macrophages))
  • Graft injury is caused by activated macrophages
  • Occurs within initial months following transplantation or if patient stops taking immune regiman
47
Q

Acute cellular (T cell-mediated) rejection may be seen as 2 patterns histologically, what are they?

A
  1. Tubulointestinal pattern: Tubulitis; interstitial inflammation and infiltration of tubules with CD4/8 cells
  2. Vascular pattern: endothelitis (inflammation of vessels) and sometimes necrosis of vascular walls.
48
Q

What is chronic rejection?

A

NK and plasma cells react to alloantigens in the walls of the vessels => release cytokines => inflammation => [vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells proliferate]

49
Q

What morphology can be seen in chronic rejection

A
  1. Progressive renal failure (increase in serum creatinine over 4-6 months)
  2. Thickening of intima in BV inflammation=> narrowing of the lumen
  3. Interstitial and glomerular fibrosis
50
Q

What causes hyperacute rejection of an donor organ?

Most commonly seen in what circumstances?

How fast is the rejection?

A
  • Occurs when preformed antidonor antibodies are present in circulation of reciepient
  • Can be caused by: previous transplant, prior blood transfusions, and multiparous women
  • Occurs within minutes to hours
51
Q

Hyperacute rejection typically will cause what?

A
  1. Fibrinoid necrosis and thrombosis
52
Q

What is acute antibody-mediated rejection?

how fast does it occur?

A

Anti-donor AB made AFTER transplantation attack the gradfts vasculature

within days or appear suddenly after immunosupression is tapered/terminated

53
Q

how can we diagnose acute anti-body mediated rejection?

A

+C4d stain (there will be deposits of C4d in compliment system)

54
Q

How is chronic antibody-mediated rejection different from acute?

Primarily affects what part of grat?

A
  • Occurs slower (more insidiously); without preceding acute rejection
  • Antibodies are in circulation, but NOT in the graft
  • Primarily affects graft vasculature
55
Q

Chronically rejecting kidneys usually have interstitial mononuclear cell infiltrates, including what cells?

A

NK and plasma cells

56
Q

HLA matching: standard of care of transplantation. Value of HLA matching differs dep on organ.

What alleles do we match for in kidneys, which has SUBSTANTIAL benefit?

What organs is HLA matching NOT done for?

A

HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-DR

Liver, <3 and lungs

57
Q

What 3 drugs are given for immunosuppressive therapy?

Basic function of each?

A

twins

  • Steroids (reduce inflammation)
  • Mycophenolate mofetil (inhibits lymphocyte proliferation)
  • Tacrolimus (FK506) (inhibits T cell functions)
58
Q

What can be given as an immunosuppressant that is a suppressor of inflammation by unknown mechanisms?

What is used in cases of severe antibody-mediated rejection?

A

Pooled intravenous IgG

Plasmapheresis => take plasma out, skin it and reomve ab and put back

59
Q

_____ one of the more common viral infection that can be caused by immunosuppression

A

polyoma virus

60
Q

Immunosuppressed individuals such as those receiving organ transplants are at increased risk for developing what from the reactivation of latent viruses?

A
  • EBV-induced lymphomas
  • HPV-induced squamous cell carcinomas
  • Kaposi sarcoma (HHV8)
61
Q

• What is the morphology of rejection mediated by preformed antibodies?

A

and rapid graft failure

62
Q

• How does acute cellular rejection damage tissue?

A

• T cells destroy graft parenchyma (and vessels) by cytotoxicity and inflammatory reactions

63

What do the antibodies in acute humoral rejection target?

A

graft vasculature

• What sign is a hallmark of chronic rejection?

A
  • arteriosclerosis
