  1. type 1 diabetes
  2. multiple sclerosis
  3. rheumatoid arthritis - also type 2 and type 3
  4. contact dermatitis
  5. mantoux test
  6. crohn’s disease
31
Q

what is the type 4 hypersensitivity involved in rheumatoid arthritis?

A

antigen is in the synovial membrane

32
Q

antibodies in rhematoid arthritis

A

anti ccp- more specific

rheumatoid factor - sensitive but not specifi c

((also- raised ESR and raised CRP unlike SLE with isolated raised ESR)

34
Q

what type of hypersensitivity reaction is crohn’s disease

35

antibodies in crest syndrome vs diffuse cutaneous scleroderma

A

crest syndrome: anti centromere

diffuse cutaneous: anti scl70, anti rna pol 1, 2, 3

36
Q

skin involvement in crest syndrome vs diffuse cutaneous

A

crest syndrome: only up to forearms+ perioral

diffuse cutaneous: more diffuse involvement

37
Q

what test tests for tear rpdocution?

A

schirmer test - for sjogren’s (reduced)

38
Q

antibodies in sjogren’s syndrome

A

anti ro

anti la

39

anti ttg 0 95% specific, 90-94% sensitive

anti gliadin

40

anti liver kidney microsomal 1

anti soluble liver antigen

42
Q

antibody in autoimmune haemolytic anaemia

A

Anti-Rh Blood Group Antigen

43
Q

antibody in Autoimmune Thrombocytopenic Purpura

A

Anti-Glycoprotein IIb-IIIa or Ib-IX Antibody

44
Q

dermatitis herpetiformis antibody

45
Q

antibody in demratomyosits

46
Q

hashimotors Ab

A

anti thyroglobulin

anti thyroid peroxidase

47
Q

mixed connective tissue disease

A

Anti-U1RNP antibody (speckled pattern)

49
Q

polymyositis antibody

50
Q

PBC antibody

A

anti mitochondrial antibody

51
Q

what type of immunofluorescence in sjogrens?

52
Q

fluorescence pattern in sle

A

anti dsDNA: homogenous

anti ro and anti la: speckled

**so it depends on which antibodye syou have

53
Q

What are the two types of ANA and what are their immunofluorescence patterns?

A

• Anti-dsDNA – homogenous staining pattern, they are highly specific for SLE and high titres are associated with severe disease (useful for disease monitoring)

• Anti-ENA4 (extractable nuclear antigens such as ribonucleoproteins (e.g. Ro, La, Sm)) - speckled immunofluorescence

54
Q

antibodues in type 1 diabetes mellitus

A

anti glutamic acid decarboxylase

anti islet cell antibodies
