Regulation of the Immune Response--Diebs Flashcards

1
Q

What are the two types of DC with relation to regulating the immune response?

A

Q

IL-2 consumption by Treg

A

Q

What cell type produces IL-4?

A

Th2

17
Q

What cell type produces IL-5?

A

Th2

18
Q

What cell type produces IL-10?

A

Treg

19
Q

What cell type produces IL-13?

A

Th2

20
Q

What cell type produces IL-17?

A

Th17

21
Q

What cell type produces IL-35?

A

Treg

Treg proliferation

dampens other immne responses

22
Q

What cell type produces IFNγ?

A

Th1

23
Q

What cell type produces TNFα/β?

A

Th1

24
Q

Mechanisms of antibody-dependent B-cell suppression (2)

A
  • crosslinking/blocking receptor-epitope complex formation
  • antibody/epitope complex may activate inhibitor signal
25
Q

Antibody-dependent B-cell augmentation mechanism

A

immune complex formation

–> follicular DC may hold antigen in place

==> improved immune response

26
Q

IPEX

A

immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked

27
Q

IPEX gene mutation

A

Foxp3

–> transcription factor in Treg cells

–> absence of Treg cells

–>autoimmunity

28
Q

Lab findings in IPEX

A

low Foxp3 + cells

eosinophilia

high IgE

29
Q

IPEX Tx

A

BM transplant

30
Q

APECED pathology

A

AIRE gene mutation

–> autoimmune regulator (usually in thymus)

–> autoantibodies produced

31
Q

APECED Tx

A

symptomatic

depending on manifestation
