Q

humoral adaptive vs cell mediated memory?

A

humoral=b cells –>mostly bacterial and viruses (outside invaders)

Q

how b cells and t cells differ?

Q

clonal diversity vs selection

A

SELECTION: DIFFERENTIATION of B->antibody producing / plasma cells & T cells->effector cells. think “caught something” and going after it. in spleen (t cell) and lyph (b cell). this is where b cells do their thing as plasma cell producing stuff, and t cells do their thing becoming t effector cells, so that they can go after this infection.

DIVERSITY (clonal): each T and B cell recognize one antigen and sum of them protect against many. IN thymus (t cell), Bone marrow (b cell)

Q

Sensitization

A

. The IgE coats the surface of the mast cell by binding with IgE-specific Fc receptors on the mast cell’s plasma membrane (sensitization).

24
Q

IgE – allergies

A

allergic reaction, leaky vessels,

25
Q

histamine binds to what receptors?

A

H1 receptors, any tissue with this can respond. Brochiosmooth muscle to constrict/wheezing, increase vasc perm (endo leaky), blood flow increase and now edame and swelling.

26
Q

h2 receptors have what effect

A

N/V in anafalax

27
Q

initial vs early

A

initial within 5-30 minutes, late phase 2-8hrs later (intense infiltration, tissue destruction/endothelial)

28
Q

clinical manifestations of histamine effects ___ cells, which ones have a lot?

A

mast cells. GI, Resp, Skin.

29
Q

clinical signs of type i hypersensitivity

A

vasodialate, heart

30
Q

signs of anaphylactic rxn with a kid with bee sking. can you die? what kind of rxn is this?

A

eyes and lips swell, systemic systems (flushing, sweating, dizzy, and GI, resp, vascular) aka from dropped BP can go to shock.yes. type 1

31
Q

type II hypersensitivity

A

a specific cell or tissue being the target, are called tissue-specific antigens.

can also occur in autoimmune disorder.

32
Q

CN allergy

A

hemolytic anemia

33
Q

opsonins from __ system and which C?

A

tag (c3b) from compliment system.

34
Q

Define **allergy, hypersensitivity, autoimmunity and alloimmunity

A

**Allergy: Is an exaggerated response against an environmental antigen.
Autoimmunity: Is a misdirected response against the host’s own cells.
Alloimmunity: Is directed against beneficial foreign tissues (e.g., transfusions, transplants)
Immunodeficiency: Immunity is insufficient to protect the host.
All responses can be serious or life threatening.

35
Q

Target Cells Destroyed by Phagocytosis which type?

A

Antibody causes cell destruction through phagocytosis by macrophages. II

36
Q

Target Cells Destroyed by Neutrophil Granules which type?

A

Antibody and complement attract neutrophils . The components of neutrophil granules, as well as the several toxic oxygen products produced by these cells, will damage the tissue. II

37
Q

Target Cells Destroyed by NK Cells, which type?

A

Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC)

Fc receptors on the NK cells, which release toxic substances that destroy the target cell. II

38
Q

Target Cells Destroyed by Cell Malfunction, which type?

A

Causes target cell to malfunction (not destroyed), II

39
Q

Type III Hypersensitivity is _____ mediated.

A

Immune (antigen-antibody) complex mediated.

Complexes are formed in the circulation and deposited later in vessel walls or extravascular tissues

40
Q

Q

what is the damage due to in type III hypersensitivity

45
Q

Immune Complex Disease- Serum Sickness is caused by repeated ___ and type ___

A

iv, type III, Affected tissues are blood vessels, joints, and kidney.
Symptoms: fever, enlarged lymph nodes, rash, and pain at sites of inflammation

46
Q

Immune Complex Disease-Serum Sickness, one form is One form with Cryoglobulins is what does what?

A

Raynaud phenomenon, Blocks circulation and causes localized pallor or numbness. is a temporaryCertain immune complexes precipitate at temperatures below normal body temperature, particularly in the tips of the fingers, toes, and nose, and are called cryoglobulins.

47
Q

Arthus Reaction is a ___ that causes

A

Immune Complex Disease-Serum Sickness.
the prototypic example of a localized immune complex–mediated inflammatory response. It is caused by repeated local exposure to an antigen that reacts with preformed antibody and forms immune complexes in the walls of the local blood vessels. Symptoms of an Arthus reaction begin within 1 hour of exposure and peak 6 to 12 hours later. The lesions are characterized by a typical inflammatory reaction, with increased vascular permeability, an accumulation of neutrophils, edema, hemorrhage, clotting, and tissue damage.

48
Q

Allergens that induce Type II and Type III hypersensitivity, if allergic to milk it could be?

A

metabalyte of penicillin.

49
Q

Certain individuals are genetically predisposed to develop allergies, particularly type I allergies, and are called

A

atopic

50
Q

type 4 hypersensitivity is ___ mediated

A

cell mediated.

. destruction by cytotoxic t cells.Helper T (Th) 1 and Th 17 cells produce cytokines

51
Q

type 4 hypersensitivity examples ___

A

Acute graft rejection

52
Q

type 4

A

antibodies that destroy antibodies. Development of Allergic Contact Dermatitis, a Delayed Hypersensitivity Reaction. A, Shown here is the development of allergy to catechols from poison ivy. No dermatitis results from the primary contact because the antigens (catechols) are sensitizing the immune response and producing memory T cells.

53
Q

Allergic Contact Dermatitis

A

type 4, first time no worries, second time issue.

54
Q

type 4 hypersensitivity examples

A

to a plant (poison oak), to nickel (metals), checmicals, antibiotics.

55
Q

Type I vs Type IV Skin Reactions

A

can have both. compare and contrast. I (IgE), Iv (T-cells) both cause skin rxn, distribution of skin leason may tell you. atopic (widely dist), delayed type (local)

56
Q

Type I vs Type IV Skin Reactions

A

can have both. compare and contrast. I (IgE), Iv (T-cells) both cause skin rxn, distribution of skin leason may tell you. atopic (widely dist), delayed type (local)
