everything Flashcards
Type I hypersensitivities
Allergic/atopic reactions
Type II hypersensitivities
Antibody binding to cell surface proteins
Type III hypersensitivities
Soluble antigen (floating around; no membrane involved), IgG binds, forms immune complex; followed by complement activation and acute inflammation
Type IV hypersensitivities
No antibody; involves T cell-instigated/mediated tissue damage
Myasthenia gravis Pemphigus vulgaris Goodpasture's syndrome Graves disease Hemolytic disease of the newborn Loss of RBCs in hemolytic anemia
Type II hypersensitivities
Systemic lupus erythematous
Glomerulonephritis
Arthritis/arthralgia
Arteritis
Type III hypersensitivities
Lesion seen after positive TB test
Granuloma formation in latent TB
Poison ivy rash
Contact dermatitis
Type IV hypersensitivities
Type III rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid factor plus IgG complexes, deposit in joint space (synovial fluid)
Type IV rheumatoid arthritis
Reaction occurs in synovial membrane-mononuclear cell infiltration leads to reorganization of joint tissue and resorption of bone
What causes granuloma formation in TB?
Tuberculosis and histoplasma replicate in alveolar macrophages
What are the three stages of Type I hypersensitivity?
- SENSITIZATION
Antigen exposure –> production of IgE - IMMEDIATE PHASE
Occurs within minutes of mast cell degranulation - LATE-PHASE
Results from the cytokines released from the mast cells
What induces B cell switching to IgE?
IL-4 release
What activates eosinophils?
IL-5
What cell types are involved in Type IV hypersensitivities?
CD4 T-cells
Macrophages
CD8 T-cells
**no antibodies involved*
What type of tissue damage is involved in Type III hypersensitivities?
Neutrophil-mediated tissue damage
Which alleles are most important when matching for transplantation?
MHC Class I B and Class II DR
Which cells are involved in acute rejection and chronic rejection?
Acute: CD8 and CD4
Chronic: CD4 only
A antigen has ______
N-acetylgalactosamine
B antigen has ______
D-galactosyltransferase
What is the difference between forward and reverse typing?
Forward: determines antigens on patient’s or donor’s blood
Reverse: determines antibodies in patient’s or donor’s serum or plasma
What occurs during hyperacute rejection?
Preformed antibodies specific to MHC, therefore B-cell mediated
What poses the greatest risk for Graft vs. Host Disease?
Bone marrow
This legislation, passed in 1962, was largely in response to reports of severe malformations in
the offspring of women in Europe who took thalidomide for sedation during their pregnancy. It
required proof of efficacy and safety for new drugs.
Kefauver-Harris Amendments
What is the mechanism of an agonist?
Mimics the actions of an endogenous ligand
What is an indication of the presence of spare receptors?
EC50 less than Kd
Concentration at which 50% of receptors are occupied by drug
Kd
True/False: The relationship between [drug] at target site and [drug-receptor complex] is linear.
False
True/False: The relationship between dose and [drug] at target site is linear.
True
[Drug] which causes 1/2 maximum response
EC50
What is tachyphylaxis?
RAPID development of tolerance
Enhanced response to a drug due to an increase in the number of receptors
Supersensitivity
Enhancement of the effect of one drug by another which has no effect by itself
Potentiation
parallel shift of the log dose-response curve to the left
Production of a greater response than two drugs that act individually
Synergism
List the 3 classes of host pattern recognition receptors which respond to influenza virus
TLR-7: recognizes virus genomic DNA
NLRP3: recruited to the mitochondria to form the NLRP3 inflammasome
RIG-1: cytosolic sensor that directly interacts with the viral nucleocapsid; detects the uncapped RNA of the viral genome
What is the basic purpose of the NS1 protein study?
To analyze and identify the pathway that NS1 inhibits the secretion of IL-1B. This is done by inhibiting inflammasome formation.
What are the roles of EGFP, hCUP-2, and NS-1 plasmids?
EGFP = control; green fluorescent for control; lacked subunits of the inflammasome hCUP-2 = inhibitory action of IL-1B via mt. membrane dissipation. Uncoupling proteins that reduce flow out of membrane for flow cytometry NS-1 = used to infect macrophages
In the influenza study, they demonstrate that the function of the influenza NS1 protein differs from that of the influenza PB1-F2 protein in that the PB1 protein has what effect on cells?
PB1 dissipates the mitochondrial membrane potential. They didn’t find that the mitochondrial membrane was affected by NS1.
What is the function of influenza virus NS1 protein in cell infections?
NS1 interacts with the inflammasome formation by reducing the speck formation and not by reducing mitochondrial membrane formation.

Loading dose equation
LD = Cp x Vd
Maintenace dose equation
MD / DI = [Cp x Cl] / B
Css equation
Css = R0 / CL = B x MD / DI x CL
