disease of immune sys Flashcards
This term refers to protection against infections.
Immunity(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.108
It is the collection of cells and molecules that are responsible for defending against pathogenic microbes.
Immune system(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.108
Type of immunity mediated by neutrophils, macrophages and natural killer cells and includes epithelial barriers of the skin, GIT and respiratory tract.
Innate immunity (natural/native)(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.108
Type of immunity mediated by lymphocytes and their products, and is normally silent and responds to the presence of microbes by becoming active, expanding and generating potent mechanisms for neutralizing and eliminating microbes.
Adaptive immunity (acquired/specific)(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.108
Type of adaptive immunity mediated by soluble antibody proteins that are produced by B lymphocytes.
Humoral immunity(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.109
Type of adaptive immunity mediated by T lymphocytes.
Cell-mediated or cellular immunity(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.109
Mediated by antibodies and is effective against extracellular microbes.
Humoral immunity(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.109
Reaction of T-lymphocytes, designed to combat cell-associated microbes (e.g. Phagocytosed microbes and microbes in the cytoplasm of infected cells).
Cell-mediated immunity(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.109
Reaction of immune system against one’s own cells.
Autoimmunity(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.119
Results from activation of TH2 CD4+ helper T cells by environmental antigens, leading to the production of IgE antibodies, which become attached to mast cells.
Type I Hypersensitivity (immediate)(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.120
Caused by antibodies that bind to fixed tissue or cell surface antigens and promote phagocytosis and destruction of the coated cells or trigger pathologic inflammation in tissues.
Type II Hypersensitivity (Antibody-mediated)(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.120
Caused by antibodies binding to antigens to form complexes that circulate and may deposit in vascular beds and stimulate inflammation, secondary to complement activation.
Type III Hypersensitivity (immune complex mediated)(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.120
Cell-mediated immune responses in which T lymphocytes cause tissue injury, either by producing cytokines that induce inflammation and activate macrophages, or by directly killing cells.
Type IV Hypersensitivity (T-cell mediated/Delayed)(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.120
Indicate type of hypersensitivity reaction:SLE
Type III(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.120
Indicate type of hypersensitivity reaction:Multiple sclerosis
Type IV(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.120
Indicate type of hypersensitivity reaction:Transplant rejection
Type IV(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.120
Indicate type of hypersensitivity reaction:Anaphylaxis
Type I(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.120
Indicate type of hypersensitivity reaction:Goodpasture syndrome
Type II(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.120
Indicate type of hypersensitivity reaction:Serum sickness
Type III(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.120
Indicate type of hypersensitivity reaction:Arthus reaction
Type III(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.120
Indicate type of hypersensitivity reaction:Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
Type II(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.120
Indicate type of hypersensitivity reaction:Allergies
Type I(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.120
Indicate type of hypersensitivity reaction:Type I DM
Type IV(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.120
Indicate type of hypersensitivity reaction:Tuberculosis
Type IV(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.120
Indicate type of hypersensitivity reaction:Bronchial asthma
Type I(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.120
Indicate type of hypersensitivity reaction:Acute rheumatic fever
Type II(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th Ed p.120
