Immuno Flashcards
IL2 (f)
- Prolif & diff of Th cells
- T cell growth & IFN-g secretion
- NK cell activation (anti-tumor)
- B cell division
- Monocytes activation
IL2 immunothx
ALDESLEUKIN
RCC, Metastatic melanoma
Angiogenesis inhib via VEGF inhibition
Bevacizumab
Anti CD52 MAB
Alemtuzumab
Tx: CLL
direct cytotox via complement fixation & Abx dep, CM cytox
What improves antigen presentation?
IFN-g, macrophage mediated
Inc expr of MCH I & II
GVHD
- transplant pts (mostly liver, irradiated blood)
- pts usually immunocompr > DONOR T CELLS migrate to host & recog host (pts) MHC as foreign > activation of donor CD4 & CD8 > host cell destruction
AutoAbx mediated HSR
IgG, IgM
Type II HSR
NK, eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages, complement
eg : AIHA, Goodpasture. ITP, Pemphigus vulgaris
Immune complex mediated HSR
Type III
Neutrophils
eg : Serum sickness, PSGN, Lupus Nephritis
C1 complement deficiency
Inc risk for encapsulated bacteria infectious (SHiN) & SLE
IL2 R defect
SCID
Immuglobulin gene rearrangement impaired in
Hyper IgM
What produces ciliary movement?
Dyenin arm
ATP to slide microtubules past each other
Defect: immotile cilia / 1° Ciliary Dyskinesis / Kartagener syndrome
Inflamm anaphylotoxins

Most potent chemotactic eicosanoid
LTB4
Leukotrienes in asthma
LTC4, LTD4, LTE4
Bronchospasm & inc bronchial reactivity > asthma
Which IFN activates macrophages
IFN-g
IFN-g (f) & source
- Activates macrophages
- Inc MHC expr
- Th1 cell diff
Produced by: Activated T & NK cells
IL4 (f)
- Th differentiation into Th2
- B activation
- Isotope switching to IgE
- Macrophage activation
- protective in Ankylosing spondylitis

Hyperacute TR mediators
Neutrophils + fibrinogen necrosis & thrombosis
Cell mediated immune response to mismatched donor HLA seen in which TR?
Acute
- w to months

Chronic TR mediated by
Granulation, scarring & bronchiolitis obliterans
Chronic lung TR
OLD, dec FEV1, dyspnea & cough
Restrictive allograft syndrome
