Hypersensitivies And Immunopathologies Flashcards
MS is associated with what specific hypersensitivity reaction?
T cell mediated cytotoxicity
What is the theory that the rise in chronic inflammatory disease, especially allergies and asthma is an unintended consequence of a reduction in exposure to microbes in the first year of life?
Hygiene hypothesis
What type of hypersensitivity reaction occurs within minutes or hours?
Type I
How is TB contracted?
Airborne infection
Cell mediated cytotoxicity is mediated by what?
CD8 killer T cells
What is the “anti onco” gene that prevents tumors?
TP53
What type of hypersensitivity reaction uses T cells?
Type IV
What is released by mast cells in the early phase?
Vasoactive amines (histamine), proteases, prostaglandins
What condition is caused by defects in immune regulation ?
Allergy
What is the number 2 cause of death?
Cancer
What are pathologic conditions caused by a normal immune response?
TB sepsis
What gene is an accident waiting to happen?
Proto-oncogene
In vitro what cells can destroy some cancer cells?
NK cells
Lupus and Rheumatoid arthritis are associated with what type of hypersensitivity ?
Type III
What is a mutated chromosome 22 called?
Philadelphia chromosome
Will someone always have an initial allergic reaction to the first exposure?
No, it takes a while for the IgE antibodies to accumulate
What hypersensitivity reaction is antibody mediated but depend on complement to do the killing?
TYPE II
What cells response is delayed during an allergic reaction?
Eosinophils
MS is initiated by what?
Self reactive T cells
What type of hypersensitivity reaction is known as allergies?
Type I
How many mutations are required to produce cancer?
4-7
What type of hypersensitivity is stimulated by intracellular parasites?
Type IV
Secondary exposure to an allergen will activate what cells?
Mast cells
What is MPDL3280A
Manufactured antibody that targets a progestin called PD-L1
