Q

Antibody inducing complement

A

Antibody binds C1q at Fc region causing conformational change to activate C1s/r

Q

Neutrophil recruitment sequence

A

s-Lex binds P selectin for weak tethering
LFA-1 binds ICAM-1; becomes tight when CXCL8 binds its receptor
LFA-1 interacts with CD31 for passage across tight junction
Follows CXCL8 gradient

Q

Granulation tissue

A

Macrophages are key
Fibroblasts recruited by FGF
Endothelial cells recruited by VEGF
Metalloproteinases from macrophages break down ECM for remodelling

Repair and inflammation at same time

22
Q

Master transcription factor for Th1, Th2, Th17, Treg

A 
Th1 = T-bet
Th2 = GATA-3
Th17 = RORgammaT
Treg = FOXP3
23
Q

High vs low antigen dose

A

High dose -> Th1 response, high TCR affinity

Low dose -> Th2 response, low TCR affinity

24
Q

Anti-inflammatory cytokines

A

IL-10, TGF-beta

25
Q

Direct antibody autoimmunity

A

Graves disease: agonist at TSH receptor so hyperthyroidism
Hashimoto’s disease: anti-TSH so hypothyroidism
Myasthenia Gravis: anti-nAChR so get paralysis and weakness

26
Q

Immune complex mediated autoimmunity

A

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Autoantibodies against nuclear and cytoplasmic componenets
Not cleared so deposit in kidneys, endothelium

27
Q

T cell mediated autoimmunity

A

Rheumatoid arthritis
Multiple sclerosis
Type 1 diabetes

28
Q

Type 1 hypersensitivity

A

Allergy
IgE mediated
Dendritic cell presents allergen to naive T cell in presence of IL-4 so get Th2
This release IL-4 and IL-13 to make B cell that produces IgE
This gets rebound to receptors on mast cells which degranulate upon cross linking

29
Q

Type 2 hypersensitivity

A

IgM or IgE binding to cells and triggering clearance by macrophages/complement

e.g in blood transfusion/rhesus antigen related

30
Q

To avoid rhesus antibody production

A

Add lots of anti-Rh antibodies to mask the presence of Rh antigens

31
Q

Type 3 hypersensitivity

A

IgG; immune complex deposition e.g serum sickness

Arthus reaction

32
Q

Type 4 hypersensitivity

A

T cell mediated

Haptens modify proteins causing their presentation and Th1 response

33
Q

Cytokines pro Th1

A

IL-1, IL-2, IL-12, TNF, IFNgamma

34
Q

Cytokines pro Th2

A

IL-4, IL-10, TGFbeta (anti-inflammatory)

35
Q

NOD like receptor mutation disease

36
Q

TLR4

37
Q

TLR5

38
Q

TLR 7 and 8

39
Q

TLR3

40
Q

RIG like receptors

A

Detect viral RNA in cytoplasm

41
Q

Macrophage produces

A

IL-1beta
TNFalpha
IL-6: lymphocyte activation, C reactive protein production
CXCL8: chemokine to recruit neutrophils
IL-12: activates NK cells and induces CD4 cells to become Th1

42
Q

Mast cell releases

A

Histamine, TNFalpha, leukotrienes, prostaglandins

43
Q

Vascular endothelium activation

A

Short term: by histamine; get P selection release from Weber Palade bodies
Longer term: from IL-1 and TNFalpha get E selectin

44
Q

Monocyte recruitment adhesin molecule

45
Q

Anti-inflammatory leukotriene

46
Q

Anti-inflammatory cytokines

A

IL-10, TGFbeta

47
Q

Staphylococcus interaction with complement

A

Inhibits C3 convertases and degrades C3b

48
Q

Two signals to activate T cells

A

1) Via interaction of MHC with TCR

2) Interaction of B7 (CD80/86 on B cell) with CD28

49
Q

Defective AIRE expression

A

Leads to APECED

50
Q

Lack of FoxP3

A

IPEX
