part 8 Flashcards
tumor specific monoclonal antibodies
ex. CD20 (used to treat b-cell lymphomas)
= rituximab
can cause direct apoptosis, complement activation or direct lysis
radio-immunotherapies
add radioactive particles to immunoglobulines
antibody-drug conjugate
add drug to antibodies
ex. brentuximab (anti CD30, causes apoptosis bc of cell arrest)
bispecific T cell engager (BiTE)
zijn alleen antistoffen
ex. anti CD3 + anti CD19 antibodies stuck together
can bind 2 things
CAR T cells
chimeric antigen receptor
uses viruses to change patient’s own T cells
ex CD19
side effect: cytokine release syndrome (hypotension, fever)
tumor specific monoclonal antibodies: side effects
allergic reactions
tumor lysis syndrome (renal failure, release LDH)
anti-CD30: gives polyneuropathy
trusseau syndrome
presence of thrombosis in relation to malignancy
primary hemostasis
reduction in flow by vasoconstriction
AND
platelet plug
secondary hemostasis
TF causes cascade to create fibrin
mediated by thrombin
adhesion of platelets
done by: GP VI, Ia and Ib
GPVI and Ia are collagen receptors
GPIb binds vWF
aggregation of platelets
GP IIb / IIIa, when activated bind to fibrinogen + vWF
a-granules
release vWF and fibrinogen (precursor of fibrin)
dense granules
release serotonin and ADP
activation of platelets
through:
P2Y12 = ADP receptor
TXA2R = thromboxane A2 receptor
PAR1 = sensitive to thrombin
thrombocytopenia
too few platelets causes: - reduced production (chemo, leukemia, aplastic anemia) - increased consumption (ITP or DIC) - loss/bleeding
