Immunopathology Flashcards
These are found at the surface f cells that contribute to the protective functionof the immune system
Fc receptors
Most important for antigen presenting cells for initiating primary immune response against protein antigens
Dendritic cells:
Location- under epithelia- entry site of antigensand interstitia of tissues where Ag maybe produced
Tyes of dendritic cells
Interdigitating/ simple dendritic
Langerhans cells
Follicular
For,ation of preformed antibody causing ADCC due to previous sensitization thru transfusion, pregnancy
Hyperacute rejection
Cellular infiltrates with both CD4 and CD8
Acute cellular rejection
Primarily T cell mediated cytotoxic damage
Density of infiltrate and extent of parenchymalndamage determine severity
Intimal fibrosis and ischemia in organ transplantation
Thickened amd fibrotic
Chronic rejection
In gvd what organs are most commonly involved
Liver intestine skin
In liver tranplant, is HLA an impt procedure
No,nthe size of organ matters
Where do you usually see the inflammation in tranplant
In portal tract area
Two modes ofnrejection in heart transplant
Acute cellular and acute vascular rejection
Vascular rejection in heart transplant
Mainly seen in small arteries- vasculitis
Would it help to give high immunosuppressive drug for acute heart transplant
No, dahil hindi atabtinatargetbyung vascular tissue
What is containedin the host cell in tranplant rejection? Ab or Ag?
Recipient has the antibody that will cause the immune response
Hypersensitivity reactions involved in autoimmunity
Primarily 2 and 3
In general, the higher, this is, the worse the disease, seen in manybautoimmune disease
Antinuclear antibodies
Characteristic staining of ANA as homogenous diffuse
Not very specific for anything
All nuclear element is antigenic
Characteristic staining of ANA as speckled
Antibody to extractable nuclear antigens, mixed connective tissue disease
Characteristic staining of ANA as nucleolar
Seen in progressive systemic sclerosis
Characteristic staining of ANA as rim
SLE
Against double stranded DNA
Substrate for dSDNa test
Crithridia organism
Characteristic p,attern of ENA
Speckled
Seen in progressive systemic sclerosis (scleroderma)- fluorescence
Nucleolar pattern
