Q

What is autoimmunity?

A

Body’s immune system inability to distinguish from non-self. Occurs when immunoglobulin or TC cells display specificity for self antigen. It can come in two flavors organ specific (single kind) or systemic (multiple antibodies).

Q

What are the factors contributing to development of autoimmunity?

A

Genetic factors (tendency for more than 1 autoimmune disorder to occur in an individual), patient age (peak 60 - 70 years of age), exogenous factors (UV, drugs, viruses, chronic infectious idsease

Q

What is tolerance for an immune system?

A

State in which the immune system is non-responsive to a specific antigen. Tolerance is needed to prevent immune reaction against autoantigens

Q

How does a fetus avoid being attacked by a mother’s immune system?

A
  1. Syncytiotrophoblasts do not express class I or II peptides preventing immune activation.
  2. Increase steroid levels triggering transient thymus involution
  3. Produce AFP and progesterone to suppress mother’s immune system.

Q

What are factors that contribute to the disruption of tolerance?

A
  1. Genetic mutation - survival / function of lymphocytes
  2. Loss of tolerance to an organ specific antigen; occurs because of viral infection, drug interaction, or up-regulation of MHC peptides
  3. B - cell response - cross reacting antibody observed in rheumatic fever because of M protein of streptococci reacting with cardiac myosin.
  4. T - cell response - organ specific autoimmune disease
