POSTERIOR CALF
POPLITEAL
Asplenia associated with which pathogens
due to decreased IgM --> decreased complement --> decreased C3b opsonization we see increased susceptiblity to ecapsulated organisms SHiNE SKiS Strep Pneumo Heam Influezae Neisseria Meningitidis Escherischia Coli Salmonella Klebsiella Group B Streptococci
HLA loci for MHC-1 and MHC-II
MHC-I
HLA-A; HLA-B; HLA-C
MHC-II
HLA-DR; HLA-DP; HLA-DQ
HLA associated with hemochromatosis
HLA-A3
HLA-B27 associated with
PAIR (seronegative arthropathies) Psoriatic Ankylosing Spondylitis Inflammatory bowel disease Reactive Arthritis
HLA-DQ2/DQ8
Celiac

HLA-DR3
DM-I
SLE
Graves and Hashimotos thyroiditis
HLA-DR4
Rheumatoid arthritis
DM-1
HLA-DR5
Pernicious anemia
Hashimotos
Natural killer cell
cytokines that enhance activity
IL-2
IL-12
IFN-alpha
IFN-beta
Natural killer cells can also kill via antibody mediated how?
CD16 binds FC of bound Ig
Cytokines secreted by macrophages
IL1 IL6 IL8 IL12 TNF-alpha
IL-1 (osteoclast activating factor?)
Secreted by macrophage
Causes fever / acute inflammation / activates endothelium to express adhesion molecules
induces chemokine secretion to recruit WBCs
IL-2
Secreted by all T cells
stimulates growth of helper / cytotoxic / and regulatory T cells and NK cells (bone marrow)
IL-3
Secreted by all T cells
supports growth and differentiation of bone marrow stem cells - functions like GM-CSF
IL-4
Secreted by Th2
induces differentiation into Th2
Promotes growth of B cells
Enhances class switching to IgE and IgG
IL-5
Secreted by Th2
promotes differentiation of B cells
Enhances class switching to IgA
Stimulates growth and differentiation of eosinophils
IL-6
Secreted by macrophages
increases acute phase reactants
fever
IL-8
major chemotactic factor for neutrophils
secreted by macrophages
IL-12
Secreted by macrophages
Induces differentiation of T cells into Th1 Cells
Activates NK cells
so we are priming for the cell mediated response (like we would see in mycoplasma)
Interferon gamma
Secreted by Th1 cells also by NK cells
in response to IL-12 stimulation from macrophages
stimulates macrophages to kill phagocytosed pathogens
so its like a check and balance
mac eats pathogen - secretes IL-12
IL-12 activated T cells secretes Interferon gamma telling macrophage to destroy
Also interferon gamms activates NK cells to kill-virus infected cells.
Increases MHC expression and antigen presentation by all cells
IL-10
Secreted by TH2 cells
modulates inflammatory response (chill out factor)
Decreases the expression of MHC class II and Th1 cytokines
Inhibits the activation of macrophages and dendritic cells.
Also secreted by regulatory T cells
Which cytokines attenuate the immune response
IL-10
TGF-beta
T cell surface protein
MHC I is present on all cells (except RBC)
TCR (binds antigen-MHC complex)
CD3 (associated with TCR for signal transduction)
CD28 (binds B7 on APC)
Helper T cells surface protein
CD4
CD40L - interacts with B cell CD40
