Q

Distinguish between multi-allelic and multigenic?

A 
multigenic= three genes come together to make MHC
multiallelic:= there are multiple variants of each of the three genes

Q

Is it the way the proteasome degrades foreign peptides or MHCI construction that dictates antigen presentation?

A

MHCI construction, proteasome cuts the same protein up the same in everyone

Q

Each memory CTL needs a match of the same peptide in the (same/any) MHC I (that fits into its TCR) to kill

A

SAME PEPTIDE IN SAME MHCI, NEEDS TO BE FUCKING IDENTICAL

Q

Which MHC is inducible on endothelial cells during inflammation?

20
Q

MHC class II allelic polymorphism means that some individuals will be (more/less) able to respond to some pathogens

21
Q

WHat cells lack both MHCI and II?

22
Q

Neutrophils strongly express which MHC?

23
Q

Which cells express both MHCI and MHCII?

A

APCs, macrophages, Bcells, and *occasionally T cells

24
Q

organ specific cells express MHCI or II?

25
Q

What is relative risk?

A

is the incidence of the disease in individuals bearing the MHC locus/divided by the incidence in the population of individuals lacking the allele.

26
Q

What happens when preproinsulin binds to DR3, DR4, or DQ8 MHC proteins?

A

These MHC-peptides are selectively recognized by IDMM Type I immune patients. These anti-self T helpers could then support development of CTL anti-pancreatic beta cell killer cells.

27
Q

what is the order of importance when looking at barriers to transplantation?

A
  1. ABO BLOOD GROUP
  2. HLA class II
  3. HLA class I
  4. minor histocompatibility Ags
28
Q

What is an autograft?

A

tissue grafted from the same person OR between two genetically IDENTICAL people

29
Q

What is an allograft?

A

grafted between HLA and other loci ALLOGENIC individuals

30
Q

How quickly are allografts rejected?

A

within two weeks without immunosuppresion

31
Q

What is the result when transplant patients are MHC haplotype matched?

A

better survival and health

32
Q

Is there any way to have an organ transplant without immunosuppresion?

A

get your unfortunate twin to cough an organ up fer ya

33
Q

Can you still have graft rejection even with complete HLA matching?

34
Q

Do T cells respond with greater frequency to foreign MHC molecules or to self MHC bearing an Ag?

A

Respond more to foreign MHC (1/100 tcells) while self mHC + Ag (1/1million t cells)

35
Q

MHCIII genes are non (blank)

36
Q

Haplotypes are linked sets of genes inherited as a (blank)

37
Q

How many MHC haplotypes do you get from each parent?

38
Q

What bug produces super Ags?

A

staphylococci, staph aureus, including MRSA

39
Q

What makes something a super Ag?

A

they bind to a large number of t cells and trigger MASSIVE t cell response

40
Q

What about their binding pattern makes things super Ags?

A

they bind to the MHCII and TCR Vbeta receptor simultaneously

41
Q

Do superAgs bind in the MHCII binding groove?

42
Q

what are two diseases associated with super Ags?

A

toxic shock syndrome and food poisoning

43
Q

Can a super ag bind to any TCR Vbeta?

A

No, only specific ones

44
Q

What percent of T cells can a given super Ag bind to?

45
Q

What does IL1 do systemically?

A

release of pyrogens and create a fever

46
Q

What happens after exposure to enterotoxins?

A

acute diarrhea
