Q

How does the skin sense PPD from TB skin test?

A

injected directly into dermis by passing LC DCs and being sensed by dermal DCs and macrophages

154
Q

What are the 2 most common DT4 HSRs?

A
  1. contact dermatitis (poison oak)
  2. TB skin test (mycobacterium)
155
Q

What 4 things are different about the DT4 HSR of a TB test v. urushoil?

A
  1. antigen
  2. antigen recognition
  3. antigen processing
  4. antigen presentation
156
Q

What kind of pregnancy is required for hemolytic disease in babies?

A

Rho - mother
Rho + fetus

157
Q

Why is the first pregnancy not an issue in hemolytic disease but its an issue in the second?

A

IgM cannot cross the placental barrier in the 1st but IgG memory Ab are made which can cross the barrier during the 2nd

158
Q

What does the follow do in the inflammatory loop in the effector phase of DT4 HSRs?
1. IL-12
2. TNF-g
3. IL-8
4, CCL7
5. IL-6/IL-1

A
  1. IL-12: recruits more memory T cells
  2. TNF-g: recruits macrophages & increase vascular perm
  3. IL-8: neutrophil recruitment
    4, CCL7: recruits monocytes
  4. IL-6/IL-1: inflammatory/fever response
159
Q

What isotype is best for activating complement?

A

IgM

160
Q

NKT cells use CD1__ and LC DCs use CD1__

A

NKT: CD1d
LC DC: CD1a

161
Q

Only CD1___ has an A’ roof

A

CD1a (LC DCs)

162
Q

Why is there no diversity for TCR recognizing CD1a—lipids?

A

The A’ roof is the same for all receptors

163
Q

What 2 things are special about NKT cells?

A
  1. Invariant TCR (no diversity)
  2. Only identified glycolipids
164
Q

INF and TNF are important for what 2 things?

A
  1. Macrophage recruitment
  2. Granuloma formation
165
Q

Since dermal DCs dont have CD1a what do they use?

A

PRR

166
Q

What are the 2 possible fates of B cells once a conjugate pair is formed?

A
  1. Becomes memory B cell (secertes IgM)
  2. Becomes plasma cells (isotype switches by returning to germinal center)
167
Q

Th1/CD4 responses involve recruitment of what cell type?

A

macrophages (DT4HSR)

168
Q

Does the TB skin test elicit an immune response from LC DCs or dermal DCs?

A

Dermal DCs (injected into dermis directly)
