Q

Cardinal Signs of inflammation

A

Redness(rubor), warmth(calor) both caused by histamine mediated vasodilation Swelling(tumor) also caused by histamine mediated increase in vascular permeability Pain(dolor) mediated by bradykinin and PGE2 which sensitize nerve endings Fever is caused by the release of IL-1 and TNF which increase cyclooxygenase activity in perivascular cells of the hypothalamus which increases local PGE2 synthesis which raises temperature setpoint

38
T cells have what receptors
TCR and CD3 on all T cells
39
CD4+ helper T-cell activation
APC presents antigen on MHC II and binds TCR on T-cell | B7 on APC binds T cell CD28 receptor
40
Th1 cytokines
IL-2 (T-cell growth factor and CD8+ activator) and IFN-gamma also, IL-6 (pyrogen, stimulates acute phase proteins)
41
Th2 cytokines
IL-4 (facilitates B-cell switch to IgE and IgG) IL-5 (eosinophil chemotaxis and activation, maturation of B cells to plasma cells and class switch to IgA) IL-10 (inhibits Th1 phenotype)
42
CD8+ Cytotoxic T-cell activation how does it initiate apoptosis?
Intracellular antigen presented on MHC I IL-2 from Th1(CD4+) T-cell CD8 induces apoptosis via perforin and granzyme GRENADES or Expression of FasL which binds to Fas receptor on cells inducing apoptosis.
43
B-Cell activation
Antigen binding by surface IgM or IgD, results in maturation to IgM or IgD secreting plasma cells. No second signal needed if enough antigen present to activate and cross link Ig's or antigen activates TLR. Alternate Pathway B-cell presents antigen to Th2 T-cell via MHC II -- CD40 receptor on B cell binds CD40L on Th2 as 2nd signal -- Th2 secretes IL-4 and IL-5 to mediate isotype switching, hypermutation and plasma cell maturation
44

epithelioid histiocytes (macrophages with abundant pink cytoplasm) usually surrounded by lymphoctes/giant cells
45
Characteristic of non-caseating granuloma. Common causes?

46
Characteristic of Caseating granulomas
central necrosis characteristic of tuberculosis and fungal infections
47
Steps for Granuloma formation
1. ) Macrophage Processes antigen 2. ) MHC II on macrophage shows antigen on MHC II to CD4+ cell 3. ) Macrophage secretes IL-12 differentiating CD4+ to Th1 4. ) Th1 secretes IFN-gamma converting macrophages to Epithelioid histiocytes and Giant cells
48
DiGeorge Syndrome

49
lack of thymus, hypocalcemia and abnormalities in heart and great vessels
DiGeorge Syndrome (22q11 microdeletion) causes lack of thymus and parathyroids leading to T-cell deficency (recurrent infections) and hypoparathyroidism (low PTF) causing hypocalcemia
50
Bruton's Agammaglobulinemia or X-linked Agammaglobulinemia
Complete lack of immunoglobulin due to disordered B-cell maturation. As such Naive B cells can't mature into plasma cells and no Ig can ever be secreted. Due to a mutation in a tyrosine Kinase
51
recurrent bacterial, enterovirus (polio,coxsackie), giardia lamblia after 6 months of life
Bruton's agammaglobulinemia. Mother's Ig's present first 6 months. Enterovirus due to lack of IgA
52
Severe Combined Immunodeficiency
Combined humoral and cell-mediated defection Etiologies via Cytokine receptor defects, ADA(adenosine deaminase deficiency) and MHC Class II deficiency. MHC class II NECESSARY for CD4 to do anything
53
most common selective immunoglobulin deficiency? a/w?
IgA disease | commonly A/W celiac disease and viral gastroenteritis
54
Hyper-IgM Syndrome etiology?
``` Elevated IgM Mutated CD40L(T-cells) or CD40(B-cells) - as such second signal cannot be delivered for required class switching ```
55
thrombocytopenia, eczema, recurrent infections
defective humoral and cellular immunity due to WASP gene. This is X-linked. Called Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome Small platelets that do not function properly are removed by the spleen causing the thrombocytopenia
56
C5-C9 deficiencies
increased risk for Neisseria infection
57
hereditary angioedema, edema of the skin, periorbital edema and mucosal surfaces
C1 inhibitor deficiency C1 inhibitor is a serine protease inhibitor that is the most important inhibitor of kallikrein in the body. decreased C1 inhibitor --> increased kallikrein --> increased bradykinin --> increased permeability
58
