Q

in peripheral B cell tolerance, what inhibitory receptor is Pylated by Lyn and recruits SHP-1 tyrosine phosphatase to attenuate BCR signaling?

A

CD22

defects in Lyn, SHP-1, CD22 = autoimmunity

Q

tolerance to commensal microbes, inhibition: Treg, IL-10, REGIIIy

A

pathobionts

17
Q

mutation in AIRE

A

autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS)

AIRE is a TF and regulates expression of TRAs; decreased expression of peripheral tissues of self-Ags in medullary thymic epithelial cells

*central

18
Q

mutation in C4

A

SLE

19
Q

mutation in CTLA-4

enlarged LNs and spleen

A

CLTA-4 polymorphisms; T1DM, Graves’ disease

20
Q

mutation in Fas/FasL

A

autoimmune lympho-proliferative syndrome (ALPS)

21
Q

mutation in FoxP3

A

IPEX

22
Q

mutation in IL-2; IL-2Ra/B

A

no known disease; defective development, survival or function of regulatory T cells

23
Q

mutation in SHP-1

A

no known disease; failure of negative regulation of B cells

24
Q

what cells function as APCs for developing T cells, and express peripheral tissue-restricted self-As?

A

medullary thymic epithelial cells

25
Q

what is the cell-intrinsic function of CTLA-4?

A

inhibitory signals delivered to T cell, terminates further activation

26
Q

what is the cell-extrinsic action of CTLA-4?

A

binding to B7 on APC renders CD28 unavailable to activate T cell

27
Q

HLA-B27

A

ankylosing spondylitis

28
Q

HLA-DRB1

A

RA, T1DM

29
Q

rheumatic fever, MS

A

molecular mimicry

RF: strep cross-reacts w/ cardiac myosin
MS: T cells react w/ myelin basic pro and peps from EBV, influenza, HPV

30
Q

polyclonal activation of auto reactive lymphocytes in the cytokine field

A

polyclonal (bystander) activation

31
Q

release of sequestered Ags (DAMPs)

A

release of previously sequestered Ags

32
Q

what type of hypersensitivity is IBS?

A

Type IV

33
Q

what are the clinical manifestations of SLE?

A

rashes, arthritis, glomerulonephritis

34
Q

what are the most frequent auto-Abs in SLE?

A

anti-DNA Abs

form IC that are responsible for glomerulonephritis, arthritis, vasculitis of small arteries

35
Q

patients with RA have circulating IgG or IgM called rheumatoid factor, what do they react with?

A

Fc portion of circulating IgG

36
Q

what cells are involved in RA?

A

Th1, Th17, activated B cells, plasma cells, Mo
