Immunology Flashcards
C1 Esterase Inhibitor Deficiency
Hereditary Edema (C1 complement activates pathway)
C3 Deficiency
Recurrent pyogenic URI & Sinusitis infections; Increased type III HSN
C5-C9 Deficiency
Neisseria infections
DAF Deficiency
complement-mediated RBC lysis –> paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
IL-1
fever
IL-2
T cell activation
IL-3
Bone Marrow Activation
IL-4
IgE
IL-5
IgA & eosinophil differentiation
IL-6
fever & acute phase proteins
IL-8
Neutrophil chemotaxis
IL-10
Inhibits inflammation
TNF-alpha
septic shock mediator
TNF-beta
Inhibits inflammation
INF-alpha & -beta
produced by virus-infected cells –> prime uninfected cells –> if infection occurs viral dsRNA will trigger RNase L & protein kinase –> degradation of viral/host mRNA & protein synthesis inhibition –> Apoptosis
Cell surface proteins on B-cells
CD19, CD20, CD21, CD40, MHC-II, B7
Cell surface proteins on T cells
TCR, CD3, CD28 (binds B7)
Cell surface proteins on Helper T cells
CD4, CD40
Cell surface proteins on Cytotoxic T cells
CD8
Cell surface proteins on Macrophages
CD14, CD40, MHC-II, B7, Fc, C3b
Cell surface proteins on NK cells
CD16, CD56
Type I HSN
Ag binds IgE-mast cell & basophil –> histamine release
Delayed response —> AA derivatives (Leukotriene)
Type II HSN
IgM, IgG bind fixed Ag –> Opsonization & Phagocytosis or Complement-Mediated Lysis or ADCC
Direct Coombs
detects Ab already bound to RBC
