Q

Eosinophils in parasites

A

Eosinophils collide with the parasite that has the IgE bound to it. It binds to the FC portion. Once eosinophils have cross linking, they release major basic protein and kills the parasite and causes tissue damage

25
Eosinophils in type I
IgE is already docked onto the mast cells. Waiting for antigen to demo and bind to it
26
Mechanism of type II HS
Cytotoxic/Ab dependent | -Ab bind to cell membrane and cause cellular destruction, inflammation, or cellular dysfunction
27
Cellular destruction in type II HS
Opsonization (scent trail) leads to activation of complement and phagocytosis, NK cell killing, inflammation
28
What causes the complementary pathway in type II HS
IgG and IgM
29
Cellular dysfunction in type II HS
Ab bind and cause abnormal blockade or activation
30
In type II HS cellular dysfunction, is it destruction or activation
Either one
31
Clinical manifestations of type II HS
``` cytotoxic/Ab dependent destructive -autoimmune hemolytic anemia -immune thrombocytopenic purpura -transfusion reaction -hyperacute transplant rejection Rheumatic fever Blocking or activating -myasthenia gravis -graves ```
32
Difference between purpura and petechiae
Purpura is a larger bruise | Petechiae is smaller little red spots
33
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia in type II HS
Auto antibody binding to RBC and can have lysing of these cells
34
Lysing of platelets due to autoimmune reaction
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura HS II
35
Example of transfusion reaction in type II HS
Wrong blood type to someone. Start lysing then ew RBC because of preformed Ab around. Classical example
36
Hyperacute transplant rejection in type II HS
Preformed Ab to organ. Occurs within minutes. Very small subset of transplant rejection types, most common is going to be either acute or chronic. In classical transplant rejection, it is cell mediate type IV.
37
What transplant rejections are type II
Hyperacute transplant rejection
38
What transplant rejections are HS type IV
Classical transplant rejection and corneal
39
What HS is myasthenia gravis
II | Blockade
40
What HS is graves disease
Type II | Activation
41
What are two antiglobulin tests that detect RBC antibodies
Coombs, direct (DAT) and indirect (IAT)
42
Direct antiglobulin test (Coombs)
Detects antibodies on RBCs - Ab that are bound to it, ther are auto antibodies that are stuck to the RBCs. Find cells that have Ab stuck to them - can see if RBCs are getting destroyed in someone with anemia
43
Indirect antiglobulin tests (Coombs)
Detects plasma antibodies - Ab that might bind to the cell. - do this if you want to transfuse blood
44
Which antiglobulin test detects antibodies on RBCS
Direct (DAT)
45
What antiglobulin test detects plasma antibodies
Indirect (IAT)
46
What is Coombs serum
Antihuman IgG-serum from a rabbit immunized with human IgG
47
Examples of things to use a direct antiglobulin test (DAT) for
Hemolytic disease of newborn (HDN) | Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
48
Examples of when to use IAT, indirect antiglobulin tests
Blood bank antibody screen detects unexpected antibodies to red blood cell antigens
49
Mechanism of type III HS
- circulating antigen-antibody complexes lodge in vessels and on tissues - complement is activated and phagocytes are recruited, producing tissue damage - do not have Ab that are directly bound to cells, Ab bound to antigen and it gets stick an causes complement and causes tissue damage
50
Clinical manifestations of type III HS
-systemic and localized inflammation/damage Classical is Arthus reaction
51
Examples of type III HS
- arthus (redness around arm after immunization) - serum sickness - RA - SLE
52
Causes of serum sickness
Most common modern day cause: oral drugs. Drugs form haptins, these bind to proteins and have formation of immune complex. If they bind directly to the cells and cause lysis that is type II
53
Difference between Arthus and serum sickness
Arthus is localized | Serum sickness if systemic
54
These HS are Ab driven
I-III
55
HS that is driven by cell
IV
56
What immunoglobulin is type I
IgE
57
What immunoglobulins for types II and III
IgG and IgM
58
Mechanism of type IV HS
- antigens bind to sensitized CD4 cells - CD4 cells release cytokines that attract/activate macrophages and CTLs (CD8) and cause tissue damage - Ab are not involved
59
Examples of type IV HS
- contact dermatitis - poison oak - TB skin test - corneal transplant rejection
60
Key cells of type IV HS
T helper cells and macrophages
61
Blister-forming keratoconjunctivitis that occurs due to a type IV HS reaction to antigens of bacterial origin
Phlyctenular Keratoconjunctivitis (PKC)
62
What is PKC connected with
Secondary to blepharitis due to staph aureus - antigens from staph can cause type IV reaction on the eye. - conj scrape would show CD4 and CD8 and langerhans cells
63
What is PKC an example of
Type IV HS
64
Patient is given a TB skin test. Which HS is being tested and which cells are expected to mediate a positive test result
Type IV, TH1 cells
65
A clinician is worried that an Rh negative mom is going to have an Rx positive baby. Which of the following she worried about
Type II HS
66
Which of the following mediators are produced during the late phase of an IGE mediated allergicereaction
Leukotrienes
