Q

Humoral immunity
•
B-cell lymphocyte mediated via production of antibody
•
Often develops as a response to soluble antigens
•
B cells account for about 20% of circulating lymphocytes
•
Immunoglobulin gene rearrangements allow tremendous diversity of
responses to many antigens
In the diagram of an
immunoglobulin molecule, note
that there are two heavy (H)
chains and two light (L) chains
linked by disulfide bonds. Each
heavy and light chain has a
constant (C) and a variable (V)
region. It is the variable regions
in the Fab portion that react
with a specific antigen and give
rise to the diversity of
immunologic response.
Immunoglobulin can attach via
the Fc portion to a variety of
cells with Fc receptors.

Q

Cellular immunity
•
T-cell lymphocyte mediated
•
CD4+ helper lymphocytes: help B cells make antibody and also help to
generate cytotoxic T cells; participate in delayed hypersensitivity reactions;
account for 60% of peripheral T lymphocytes
•
CD8+ suppressor lymphocytes: are cytotoxic; represent about
30% of circulating T lymphocytes
•
T-cell receptors (TCR) are genetically programmed to recognize
specific antigens and can rearrange their alpha and beta genes to respond to
antigenic stimuli o Macrophages process antigen and present it with class
II HLA to the CD4+ cells o
Cytokines such as interleukin (IL) and
tumor necrosis factor (TNF) are elaborated by activated T cells to enhance
cellular immune reactions

Q

The reaction of tissues to antigen (AG) is mediated by two cell types:

A

B LYMPHOCYTES (Bursae-derived)
.
T LYMPHOCYTES (Thymus-derived)

19
Q

Secretes ________ after conversion to ________

A

ANTIBODIES
PLASMA CELLS.

20
Q
  • Responsible for cell-mediated immunity. It does not secrete antibodies.
    Rather, releases LYMPHOKINES.
A

T LYMPHOCYTES (Thymus-derived)

21
Q

T LYMPHOCYTES (Thymus-derived)
- Responsible for cell-mediated immunity. It does not secrete antibodies.
Rather, releases _____________.

A

LYMPHOKINES

22
Q

_________________ This is mediated by IgE antibodies bound to mast cells
and basophils that is formed in response to a particular antigen (or allergen).
In this type of hypersensitivity, clinical signs/symptoms occur after the
release of pharmacologically active compounds from mast cells and basophils.
These cells (basophils and mast cells) possess receptors capable of binding the
Fc portion of the IgE molecule. M

A

TYPE I. IMMEDIATE HYPERSENSITIVITY or ANAPHYLACTIC HYEPRSENSITIVITY

A

respiratory signs, bronchoconstriction and pulmonary edema

dyspnea, facial itching, salivation, incoordination, collapse, shock and even
death

28
Q

-
In PIGS and HORSE, anaphylaxis is manifested as

A

pulmonary emphysema, peribronchiolar edema and edematous hemorrhagic
enterocolitis.

29
Q

are the presenting signs involving the RUMINANTS anaphylaxis

A

Systemic hypotension, with dyspnea, urination, defecation and
bloating

30
Q

Immediate Hypersensitivity Reaction. A, Early reaction (minutes) is characterized by mast cell degranulation and release of pre- formed vasoactive substances that cause vasodilation and increased vascular permeability, resulting in edema of interstitial tissue. B, As the lesion pro- gresses to the late phase (hours), the inflammatory infiltrate is primarily composed of eosinophils and fewer lymphocytes and neutrophils.

31
Q

TYPE II

A

HYPERSENSITIVITY (CYTOTOXIC / CYTOLYTIC REACTIONS ) or
AUTOIMMUNITY.

32
Q

is defined as the immune response against individual’s own tissue antigens.

A

Autoimmunity

33
Q

Autoimmunity is defined as the immune response against
This type of reaction can be produced subsequent to:
1.
Complement – dependent reactions
Occur either by direct lysis via the C5-9 (membrane attack complex) or by
opsonization (or enhanced phagocytosis).
Examples: Transfusion reactions from unmatched donor.
Hemolytic disease of the newborn
Thrombocytopenic purpura
2.
Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). In this,
reactions can be produced through antibody dependent cell mediated
cytotoxicity. In this process, antibody attaches to the target antigen through
Fab (fragment antibodybinding) antigen combining sites. The Fc ( fragment
cell-binding) end of the antibody is free to interact with cytotoxic cells having
an Fc receptor such as macrophages, polymorphonuclear cells, and natural
killer lymphocytic cells.
Example:
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
-
own’s tissue or cell has been recognized as “NON-SELF”
Immune mediated anemia in events of trypanosomosis, babesiosis Drug-induced (penicillins,
aminosalicylates, phenacetin)
Thrombocytopenic
(aminopyrine, phenothiazine,
chloramphenicol
sulfonamide,
phenylbutazone).
Systemic lupus
erythematosus
-
