Q

It is activated via two pathways:

A

Classical Pathway
Alternate Pathway.

31
Q

is initiated by the binding of antigen antibody complexes to C1 that self-activates and cleaves C4 and C2 into C3
convertase.

A

classical pathway

32
Q

C3 splits into two fragments

A

C3a and C3b.

33
Q

a is released and
increases vascular permeability

A

C3a

34
Q

forms a complex called C5 convertase that splits C5 into C5a and C5b.

A

C3b

35
Q

increases vascular permeability and attracts
polymorphonuclear and mononuclear leucocytes.

A

C5a

36
Q

initiates the terminal
sequence C5b-C9 forming the membrane attack complex (MAC) that effect
irreversible lesions on cell membranes leading to cytolysis.

A

C5b

37
Q

is initiated by a variety of substances (including
bacterial polysaccharides, zymosan, and IgA) without the formation of antigen antibody complexes, or the participation of C1, C2, and C4.

A

alternate pathway

38
Q

is a generic term for polypeptide messenger molecules secreted by lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells that mediates and regulates the growth, differentiation, and function of cells involved in immunity, hemopoiesis,
and inflammation.

These responses that result in tissue injury are called

A

hypersensitivity reactions
(allergic or immunopathologic reactions)

42
Q

Four types of reactions

A

Immediate hypersensitivity
cytotoxic reaction
immune complex reaction
delayed hypersensitivity

43
Q

also known as anaphylaxis

A

Type I hypersensitivity reactions (

43
Q

The mode of antigen contact determines whether a given reaction is either

A

local or systemic

43
Q

are best exemplified by a positive skin-test
reaction (wheals and flares), and allergic rhinitis following inhalation of dust or
pollen particles.

A

Local reactions

44

Circulating basophils
and tissue mast cells
possesses receptors

occur after the release of pharmacologically active compounds from mast cells
and basophils.

A

Systemic reactions

46

pulmonary hypertension.

A
53

bronchiolar edema, and edematous hemorrhagic enterocolitis.

53
Q

antibody attaches to the target antigen through its
Fab antigen combining sites

A

antibody-dependent
Cytotoxicity

54
Q

Complement dependent
reactions usually involve the
combination of IgG and IgM
with antigenic determinants
present on cell membranes.

A

Type II – Cytotoxic/Cytolytic Reactions

55
Q

s. In this condition, fetal red blood cells gain entry to the maternal circulation
sensitizing the mare’s immune system.

A
56
Q

This type of
hypersensitivity reactions
is produced by the
combination of antibody
with antigen resulting in
the formation of immune
complexes.

A
56
Q

In animals, chronic diseases such as

A

equine infectious anemia, swine fever, pyometra, bacterial endocarditis, canine distemper, lymphoma, mastocytoma,
and dirofilariasis

56
Q

syndrome in dogs following
infection or vaccination with live canine adenovirus (CAV-1) is another example of immune complex reactions

A

“blue eye”

56
Q

Type IV reactions usually do not become clinically detectable until 24 to 72 hours post exposure to an antigen.

A
56
Q

There are two phases in the evolution of Type IV
reactions:

A

inductive phase
amplification phase

57
Q

that involves the accumulation of sensitized T cells at the site of antigen deposition

A

inductive phase

58
Q

caused by the elaboration of lymphokines by these cells.

A

amplification phase

59
Q

is a prominent component of this
reaction, and is an important
process in host defense
against viral and fungal
infections, and in spontaneous tumor rejection.

A

Cytotoxicity

59
Q

involved in clinically diverse
conditions such as allergic
contact dermatitis, tuberculin
hypersensitivity, organ and
tissue transplant rejection, and
graft-vs-host disease.

A

Type IV

59
Q

A more common example of this type of reaction includes

A

flea allergy and allergic contact dermatitis in dogs and cats

60
Q

Untoward immune response towards administration of drugs is called

A

adverse drug reactions (ADR)

61
Q

There are several predisposing factors for the development of ADR, and these include

A

host factor, drug factor, route of administration, and dose and
duration of exposure.

62
Q

the genetic composition may determine the difference in drug metabolism that may be related to hypersensitivity to certain metabolites of the drug,

A

host factors

63
Q

the tendency of a drug to induce immune response that
results in a hypersensitivity reaction depends on the capacity of the drug or its metabolites to act as or form a complete antigen or hapten.

A

drug factors

63
Q

its dose and duration of therapy may influence ADR

A

route of application of the drug

64
Q

s has the greatest capacity to induce ADR followed by
intravenous, intramuscular and oral route.

A

Topical application of drugs

65
Q

is defined as a failure of the individual to recognize its
own tissues thus resulting to immune recognition and consequent immune
reactions.

A

Autoimmunity

65
Q

Most self-antigens (or autoantigens) circulate in very low doses

A
65
Q

Autoimmunity arises when there is a disordered regulation and interaction
of the T cells and the B cells in response to an antigenic challenge or stimulation.

A
65
Q

It was formerly believed that
many autoantigens are
secluded from immunocompetent cells of the body, and include those tissues regarded as immunologically privileged sites hidden from immune cells by blood vessels, lymphatic and membrane
barriers.

A

Sequestered Antigen
Release

65
Q

can inhibit autoimmune response
and provide a
mechanism for
preventing or delaying
autoimmune reactions
in normal conditions

A

Suppressor T cell clones

65
Q

T cells are involved in the control and regulation of B cell functions by suppressing B cell dependent synthesis of autoantibodies.

A
65
Q

However, in some
disease states
(following ageing,
immune deficiencies,
or other disease
processes), there
occurs a loss of
suppressor T cell
functions such that self-reactive B cells are
permitted to
proliferate.

A
66
Q

Autoimmune diseases can be broadly categorized into three main groups:

A
  1. Organ- specific autoimmune disease
  2. non-organ-specific autoimmune disorder
  3. Disorders with non-organ-specific autoantibodies and with lesions
    confined to one or few organs
66
Q

are characterized by chronic
inflammatory changes in a specific organ.

A

Organ- specific autoimmune disease

66
Q

The autoantibodies in this group exhibit specificity for antigens of the diseased organs, and examples include primary hypothyroidism, and post vaccinal encephalitis in rabies.

A
66
Q

these are characterized by
widespread pathologic changes in different organs.

A

non-organ-specific autoimmune disorder

66
Q

this group combines the features of the latter two groups, and the levels of serum autoantibodies does not correlate with the severity or duration of the disease.

A
  1. Disorders with non-organ-specific autoantibodies and with lesions
    confined to one or few organs
66
Q

Possible autoimmune pathogenesis
must be suspected when one observes most of the following indicators:

A
  1. Existence of autoantibodies
  2. Amyloidosis in tissues
  3. Hypergammaglobulinemia with elevation of the various immunoglobulin
    subclasses
  4. Vasculitis, serositis and glomerulonephritis that suggest an immune
    complex disease
  5. Existence of other disorders such as endocrine disease known to be
    associated with autoimmune disorders
67
Q

if it results
from a failure of proper development of humoral or cellular components of the
immune system,

A

Primary

68
Q

if it is associated with a variety of
diseases including irradiation, infectious diseases, and iatrogenic
immunosuppression by drugs resulting to depletion of functional lymphoid cells,

A

Secondary or acquired

69
Q

The basic mechanisms currently recognized that
brings about an immunodeficiency state includes the following:

A
  1. Deficiency of hormone and co-factors required for lymphocyte differentiation,
    programming, maturation and activity;
  2. Deficiency of lymphocyte production and/or functions
  3. Deficiency of phagocytic cell production and/or functions
  4. Deficiency of complement, particularly C3, and
  5. Failure of passive immunity in neonates.
