Cyclosporin blocks calcinuerin phosphotase

82
Q

Cytokines responsible for Th1 differentiation

A

IL12 produced by macrophages

IFN-y produced by NK cells

83
Q

Th1 response

A

“Classical Macrophage Activation” = M1 macrophages

  • Kill phagocytosed bacteria
  • Th1 cells produce IFN-y and CD40L which activate macrophages and transcription factors that increase expression of MHC and B7, secrete cytokines, and enhance killing of phagocytosed bacter
  • Also inhibit the Th2, Th17 response
84
Q

Cytokines responsible for Th2 differentiation

A

IL4

85
Q

Th2 response

A

Helminth response + “Alternative Macrophage Activation”= M2 macrophages

  • Th2 cells produce IL4 which increases IgE production which can bind to mast cells, coat helminths and activate the FcERI receptors on eosinophils to release granules ;
  • IL5 secretion also activates eosinophils
  • IL13 increases mucous secretion and gut peristalsis
  • IL10 inhibits Th1 response
  • IL4, 13 activate macrophages which then activate fibroblasts to increase collagen production /repair mechanism/ fibrosis (M2 pathway)
86
Q

Cytokines for Th17 response

A

IL1, IL6, TGF-b, and IL23

87
Q

Th17 response

A

Alternate/enhanced bacteria and fungal inflammatory response

  • Produces IL17 –> chemokines to attract leukocytes esp PMNs
  • Produces IL22–> improves and repairs epithelial barrier and antimicrobial functions
88
Q

Contents of CD8 T cell granules

A

Released into immune synapse (LFA-1/ICAM binding)
Perforin (holes in plasma membrane)
Granzyme B - cleaves caspases (cysteine protease cleaves after aspartate) that induce apoptosis

89
Q

What type of bacteria does MAC defend against?

A

gram negative

90
Q

Where are complement plasma proteins synthesized?

A

liver

91
Q

What are the three main inhibitors of complement?

A 
C1 INH (blocks C1 esterase activation) 
DAF/CD55 - blocks C3b from binding Bb (classical pathway) and C2a from binding C4b (alternative and MBL)
Factor I and cofactor H - cleaves C3b into inactive fragments
92
Q

Steps in the classical pathway of complement

A

antigen binds IgM or IgG; Fc region binds C1 complement protein ; C1 cleaves C4 and C2 into C4b2b which acts as a C3 convertase; C4b2b3b in the C5 convertase
- same a MBL pathways

93
Q

Steps in the alternative pathway of complement

A

C3b binds covalently to microbe ; Factor B also binds C3b and is broken down by plasma protease factor D to Bb; C3bBb is the C3 convertase, C3bBb3b is the C5 convertase

94
Q

What does C3a do?

A

anaphalxis (with C4a, C5a)

95
Q

What does C5a do?

A

chemotaxis of neutrophils

96
Q

What does C3b do?

A

opsonin; CR1 protein binds

97
Q

What does C5b do?

A

joins with C6-C9 to form MAC, esp effective against Neisseria (thus deficiencies lead to issues with Neisseria infections)

98
Q

CD28

A

T cell surface protein
Binds B71/2 = CD80/86 on macrophages
Co-stimulation

99
Q

CD3

A

T cell surface protein

Signal transduction with Zeta

100
Q

CD40L

A 
Helper T cell surface protein (mediated class switching on B cells)
Also present on dendridic cells and macrophages to mediate T cell proliferation
101
Q

CD25

A

Regulatory T cell marker

102
Q

Binds Fc portion of IgG

107
Q

CD56

A

Surface protein NK cells

Unique NK cell marker

108
Q

CD34

A

Hemopoetic stem cell marker

109
Q

tachyphylaxis

A

end organ unresponsiveness to a molecule
ex: someone with factor I deficiency that constantly cleaves C3 and then overproduces C3a which activates mast cells can develop tachyphylaxis to histamine so only shows symptoms of histamine release (hives) when histamine increases (e.g. alcohol, change in temp - bath or shower)
