Flashcards - Immuno
right lymphatic drainage
right side above diaphragm
IgA
Does not fix complement - monomer/dimer - excreted by transcytosis - protects against Giardia
Hypersensitivity Type I
allergy - analphylaxis/atopic, IgE - preformed Abs, on presensitized mast cells –> histamine release
Hypersensitivity Type II
tissue target - positive Coombs test - goodpastures, pernicious anemia, anti-Rh, graves
Hypersensitivity Type III
serum sickness, SLE/post strep glomerulonephritis - antigen/complement complex
Hypersensitivity Type IV
contact dermatitis, MS, PPD, Graft v Host - sensitized T-cell to antigen –> cytokine release
Thymus independent
antigens with no peptide component, cannot be presented by MHC - weak vaccines
Thymus dependent
antigens with protein component (diphtheria) - class switching and B-cell memory
Adenoside deaminase deficiency
SCID
Arthus reaction
Type III - after injections - ab/ag complexes form necrosis
MHC I chains
heavy chain + B2 microglobulin
MHC II chains
Alpha and beta polypeptide chains
Th2
mediate class switching and Ab production by B cells, recruits eosinophils - humoral immunity
HLA-A3
Hemochromatosis
HLA-B27
Ankylosing spondylitis, Reiter’s syndrome, Ulcerative colitis
HLA-DR2
SLE, Goodpasture, MS, hay fever
HLA-DR4
Rheumatoid Arthritis, Diabetes (DR3 as well)
HLA-DR5
pernicious anemia
HLA-DQ2/8
Celiac disease
IFN-a/b
modulates viral infections
IFN-gamma
Th1 - activates macrophages
IL-1
Macs - Fever, osteoclast activation
IL-2
T-cell - stimulates growth of helper, cytotoxic, regulatory T cells, NK cells
IL-3
T-cell - GM-CSF like factor
IL-4
Th2 - mediates class-switch to IgE
IL-5
Th2 - attacts eosinophils, IgA production
IL-6
Macs - fever, induces production of acute phase reactants (hepcidin, CRP, ferritin, fibrinogen, serum amyloid A)
IL-8
Macs - chemoattractant for neutrophils
IL-10
Th2 - antiinflammatory - decreases MHC class II, Th1 cytokines
IL-12
Macs - stimulates differentiation into TH1 in naive T-helpers, NK cells stimulation
TNF-alpha
fever, hepatic release of acute-phase reactants, cachexia
TGF-beta
immunosuppresant
CD14
Macrophages - binds with TLR4 - involved in supertoxin response
CD18
LFA-1 integrin - defective in leukocyte adhesion deficiency type 1 - unable to extravasate
CD19
B-cells
CD20
B-cells - rituximab target
CD21
B-cell - EBV receptor
CD25
T-cells
CD28
T-cell - costimulation w/ B7 on dentritic cell activates T-cell –> cytokines
CD31
PECAM - neutrophil transmigration across endothelium
CD-40
B-cell - costimulation w/ CD40L on T-cell classwitches B-cell - defective in hyperIgM
