Pathology: autoimmunity Flashcards
B7.1 & B7.2
co-stimulatory molecules for T cells on APC
up regulated during infection
CD28
T cell
binds B7 to activate T cell
CTLA-4
cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4
binds to B7 more strongly than CD28
prevents B7 from activating T cell
ipilimumab
Ab that blocks CTLA-4
treat tumors that use CTLA-4 to avoid immune system
PD-1
programmed death-1
binds B7 and prevents activation of T cell
some tumors and viruses
pembrolizumab
Ab that blocks PD-1
nivolumab
Ab that blocks PD-1
anti-dsDNA
autoantibody in SLE
formation of immune complexes
anti-Smith
autoantibody in SLE
formation of immune complexes
Anti-RNP U1
autoantibody against RNA polymerase
associated with SLE and mixed connective tissue disease
formation of immune complexes

autoantibody in Sjogren syndrome, SLE, and rheumatic diseases
Anti-SS-B (La)
autoantibody in Sjogren and SLE
Anti-Scl-70
autoantibody against DNA topoisomerase I
systemic sclerosis

autoantibody in SLE
formation of immune complexes
Anti-centromere
autoantibody in limited scleroderma, systemic sclerosis, and CREST syndrome
Anti-phospholipid
