Lecture 12: Autoimmunity Flashcards

1
Q

What is Koch’s postulates?

A
  1. Isolate the pathogen (Virus, microbe,etc) from sick creature 2. Grow the pathogen in the laboratory and obtain a pure culture 3. Inoculate a healthy creature with a sample from pure culture. The pathogen should cause the same disease symptoms that were seen in first creature 4. Re-isolate the same pathogen from second sick animal

Q

Autoimmune disease

A

Clinical manifestation directly linked to immune cell activation Evidence of T and or B cell autoimmunity Disease is transferred in animal models by adoptive transfer of T cells or autoantibodies or immunisation with self-Antigens Exclusion of an infective cause Often familiarity or “clustering” of AD Genetic predisposition and environmental trigger

Q

What is type 1 classification ?

A

Binding of Ig to Fc receptor which activated mast cell and basophils There is a burst of granules and this gives you fever/ asthma attack

Q

What is type 2 classification?

A

Conduction of Antibodies which are directly pathogenic Binds to either receptor or particular cell type Cause damage by: ADDC or complement activation

Q

What is type 3 classification?

A

Stimulated by antibodies Immune complexes Once the complexes are deposited in the kidney of glomerulus - activate complement that attract cells of immune system

A

Uptake, granule release

19
Q

What is the cell type for FcyRIIB1?

A

B cells, mast cells

20
Q

What is the effect of ligation for FcyRIIB1?

A

No uptake, inhibition of stimulation

21
Q

What is the cell type got FcyRIIB2?

A

Macrophages, Neutrophils, Eosinophils

22
Q

What is the effect of ligation for FcyRIIB2?

A

Uptake, inhibition of stimulation

23
Q

What is the cell type of FcyRIII?

A

NK cells, Eosinophils, macrophages, neutrophils, mast cells

24
Q

What is the process of ADDC?

A

Antibodies bind antigens on the surface of target cells NK Cell CD16 Fc receptors recognise cell- bound antibodies Cross-linking of CD16 triggers degranulation into lytic synapse Target Cell die by apoptosis

25
Q

What is goodpasture glomerulonephritis?

A

Rare autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the basement membrane in lungs and kidneys - bleeding from lungs and kidney failure

26
Q

What is SLE glomerulonephritis?

A

Inflammation of kidneys caused by systemic lupus erythematosus Auto-Immune disease - glomeruli become inflamed

What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?

A

Chronic inflammatory destructive arthropathy

28

What is the pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis ?

A

Inflamed of synovial membrane

29
Q

What is the evidence of RA as autoimmune disease?

A

B cell compartment: Autoantibodies. Rheumatoid factor (IgM anti-IgG) Anti-citrullinated proteins (ACPA). Collagen, BiP, RA33. T cell compartment: HLA-DRQ (shared epitope)

30
