A

autoantibody in various vasculitides

20
Q

Anti-eTg

A

autoantibody in herpetiformis

21
Q

ANA

A

autoantibody against nuclear components
associated with SLE
deficiency of C1q, C2 or C4 can impair clearance of apoptotic cells and nucleic acid fragments predisposes to SLE

22
Q

HLA-B27

A

predisposition for ankylosing spondylitis

23
Q

ankylosing spondylitis

A

destroys articular cartilage of sacroiliac joins and apophyseal joints between spinal tuberosities and processes: bony fusion of joints
Sym: lower back pain and spinal stiffness in middle age

24
Q

PTPN22 polymorphisms

A

tyrosine phosphatase
excessive activation of lymphocytes
associated with RA and T1DM

25
Q

Rheumatoid arthritis

A

autoimmune attack on small joints of hands and feet, especially MCP and MTP

26
Q

CD25

A

IL-2 receptor

27
Q

polymorphisms in alpha chain of IL-2 and IL-7 receptor

A

associated with Multiple Sclerosis

dysfunction of Treg cells

28
Q

multiple sclerosis

A

autoimmune attack on myelin

neurological symptoms

29
Q

anti-CCP

A

autoantibody agains cyclic citrullinated peptide

associated with RA

30
Q

anti-U3 RNP

A

autoantibody against RNA polymerase

associated with systemic sclerosis

31
Q

anti-myleoperoxidase

A

perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic (P-ANCA)

associated with microscopic polyangiitis, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg Strauss)

32
Q

anti-proteinase-3

A

diffuse cytoplasmic anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic (C-ANCA)

associated with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegner’s)

33
Q

cyclosporine

A

calcineurin inhibitor
nephrotoxicity can be confused with kidney rejection: isometric vacuolization of tubular epithelial cell cytoplasm, tubular calcifications, giant mitochondria

34
Q

tacrolimus

A

binds FK506

calcineurin inhibitor

35
Q

MOA calcineurin inhibitors

A

bind immunophilins that then inhibit the phosphatase calcneurin
calcneurin promotes secretion of TNF, IFN-gamma, IL-2, and IL-4

36
Q

mycophenolate nofetil

A

inhibits IMP dehydorgenase in guanine synthesis

inhibits lymphocyte proliferation

37
Q

azathioprine

A

purine analogue that inhibits DNA replication

38
Q

hydroxychloroquine

A

anti-inflammatory

39
Q

TNF-alpha inhibitors

A
  1. infliximab
  2. etanercept
  3. adalimumab
40
Q

Belimumab

A

Ab to B cell activating factor

41
Q

rituximab

A

Ab inhibits CD20 on B cell

42
Q

tocilizumab

A

Ab inhibits IL-6

43
Q

alemtuzumab

A

Ab to CD52

44
Q

C4d

A

complement C4 degradation

deposited in peri-tubular capillaries in some cases of kidney transplant rejection

45
Q

BK virus

A

polyomavirus

in kidney transplant: intranuclear inclusion bodies and epithelial cell injury and lysis

46
Q
