Q

Chronic granulomatous disease mechanism

A

NADPH oxidase complex deficiency = less superoxide

Less respiratory burst = granuloma formation

Q

Effect of NADPH oxidase

A

Converts to NADP+ —> makes superoxide O2- —> H2O2 —> broken down by catalase into H20 and O2

Therefore: more catalase = more breakdown of H2O2 = less H2O2 = weak respiratory burst

A

CD40L deficiency
- Less in Th cells = disrupt B cell class switch

AID dysfunction
- Affect IgH chain recombination
- Increase germinal centers = GIANT
