20
Q

What Ig mediates Type I HS?

A

IgE

21
Q

What are the mediators of Type II HS?

A

IgG or IgM and complement

22
Q

What are the mediators of Type III HS?

A

IgG and complement

23
Q

What are the mediators of Type IV HS?

A

T cells, Macrophages, histiocytes

24
Q

What is the difference between Types II and III HS?

25
Q

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is an example of Type __ HS?

A

II

26
Q

Grave’s disease is an example of Type ___ HS?

A

II

27
Q

What are the three primary consequences of HS in SLE?

A

Glomerulonephritis, vasculitis, and arthritis

28
Q

Type I DM is an example of Type ___ HS?

A

IV

29
Q

What is the pathophysiology of Type I DM?

A

Anti-beta cell CTLs kill Beta cells, preventing insulin production

30
Q

What blood type is the universal donor? What is the universal recipient?

A

Donor: O neg
Recipient: AB pos

31
Q

What protein is used to identify compatible recipient-donor?

A

HLA

32
Q

Hyperacute rejection is an example of Type ___ HS.

A

II

33
Q

How can a hyper acute rejection be rescued?

A

Trick question - It can’t

34
Q

What mediates acute rejection?

A

Host T cells against HLA alleles

35
Q

Acute rejection is a Type ___ HS.

A

IV

36
Q

Chronic rejection is a Type ___ HS.

A

III

37
Q

What is the pathophysiology of chronic rejection?

A

Immune complex depositions in the vasculature of the graft recruit inflammatory cells –> Immune effects enter the graft tissue –> Increasing immunity causes rejection of tissue

38
Q

How are acute and chronic rejection prevented and treated?

A

Immunosuppression

39
Q

What is the mechanism of Belatacept in immune suppression?

A

Block B7 on APC, preventing T cell activation

40
Q

What is the mechanism of cyclosporine and FK-506?

A

Block NFAT transcription –> Inhibit IL-2 production –> reduced T cell activation

41
Q

What is the strategy behind long term maintenance of immunosuppressive drugs in organ transplant?

A

Interfere with T cell activation

42
Q

Bone marrow transplant rejection is an example of ______ (Graft/Host) vs. ______ (Graft/Host) and is mediated by _____ (Donor/Host) _____ cells.

A

Graft vs. Host, Donor T-cells
