Patho CH. 4: Altered Immunity Flashcards
SPECIFIC immune defense
Involves:
adaptive immunity
inflammatory response
NONSPECIFIC immune defense
Involves:
innate immunity
T and B lymphocytes
two types of humoral immunity
active and passive
development of antibodies to an antigen
How?
active immunity
specific disease or vaccine
immunity transfer from host to recipient
How?
passive immunity
From mother to infant transfer or injection of antibody
histames cause
bronchodilation
humoral immunity includes B lymphocyte which include these cells
antibodies from plasma cells
memory cells
primary adaptive immune response
activation with first recognition of specific antigen
secondary adaptive immune response
reactivation with later recognition of the same antigen
immunoglobulin concentrated in bodily secretion
IgA
breast milk, tears, saliva
most common immunoglobulin
second response
IgG
passive immunity
First immunoglobulin
IgM
cell mediated immunity has
cytotoxic T lymphocytes: CD4 - class 2 MHC
helper T lymphocytes: CD8 - class 1 MHC
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) only in what immunity
cell mediated
Processes of altering immune function
host defense failure
hypersensitivity
autoimmunity
alloimmunity
host defense failure examples
antigenic variation
viral latency
immunodeficiency
ex of antigenic variation
cold
flu
ex of viral latency
herpes zoster (shingles)
TB
they hide
Type 1 hypersensitivity type
immediate
Type 2 hypersensitivity type
antibody-mediated
Type 3 hypersensitivity type
immune complex-mediated
Type 4 hypersensitivity type
cytotoxic T lymphocyte-mediated
Type 1 hypersensitivity reaction ex and etiology
anaphylaxis
IgE mediated
Type 2 hypersensitivity reaction ex
reaction against normal “self” antigens
Type 4 hypersensitivity reaction ex
cell lysis
delayed reaction
failure to distinguish self
autoimmunity
alloimmunity examples
graft rejection
graft versus host disease
organ rejection
immunosuppression treatment leads to
opportunistic infection
