more making

35

would

36

you do/do not have to match ABPO blood type in SCT

A

do not

37
Q

solid organ transplant needs/does not need to match ABO blood type

A

need to

38
Q

SCT can be performed across ABO incompatibilities because _______ will be provided by the donors stem cells

A

hematopoiesis

39
Q

can/cannot deplete donor stem cell product to remove anti-A or anti-B antibodies if recipient is A+ or B+

A

can

40
Q

can/cannot remove red blood cells from the donor stem cell product id patients plasma is expected to react with donor red cells

A

can

41
Q

graft versus host disease (GVHD)

A
  • donor derived, t-cell mediated reactivity against recipient tissues - primary cause of non-relapse mortality
42
Q

acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) occurs _____ months after SCT

A

3

43
Q

chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) occurs _____ months after SCT

A

6

44
Q

acute GVHD primarily affects

A

skin, colon, liver

45
Q

chronic GVHD primarily affects

A

skin eyes GI tract liver

46
Q

treatment of graft versus host disease (GVHD) with

A
  1. prevention:
    - inhibitors of T-cell activation
  • calcineurin inhibitors: tacrolimus
  • mTOR inhibitors: sirolimus
  • inhibitors of T-cell proliferation
  • methotrexate
  • T-cell depleting antiboides
  • immunosuppressive drugs: steroids
47
Q

acute GVHD ratings how to measure

A

Stages 0-4 Grade A-D liver bilirubin and gut/stool

48
Q

HLA mismatching increases/decreased risk of GVHD

A

increases

49
Q

GCHD with an HLA matched graft

A

can have minor histocompatibility

this occurs with genetically disimilar people, could bind at a higher affinity

50
Q

stem cell donnor selection

A
  1. male becuase female has no antibodies to the Y
  2. HLA match
  3. ABO type - would like to match but does not have to
  4. stem cell source- peripheral blood stem cells engraft faser than bone marrow dervied stem cells
  5. cytomegalovirus status- negative
  6. related source- sibling perfered
51
Q

solid organ transplant

A
  • long-term tolerance
  • chronic immunosuppression is essential
  • HLA disparities are almost univeral in solid organ transplant except related sibiling renal transplant
  • both humoal and cellular mediated rejection mechanisms exist
52
Q

solid organ graft rejection is mediated by

A

peptide /HLA disparities

53
Q

would you rather transplant a live/deceased organ

A

live

54
Q

alloimmunization against foreign HLA

A

blood reansfusions and pregnancies can expose an indivdual to foreign HLA , which can induce an antibody response

55
Q

monitoring anti-HLA antibodies is important becasue

A

as patients develop more anti-HLA antibodies the number of potential organs decreases

56
Q

hyperacute graft rejection

A
  • occurs within hours (antibodies must be preformed)
  • anti-A and anti-B blood gorup
  • anti-HLA
57
Q

direct allorecogntion

A
  • APC derived from donor graft likely mismatched HLA binds to T cell
  • fades out in time becuase the APC donor will die out
  • acute rejection 7-21 days
58
Q

indirect allogrecogntion

A
  • APC dervied from the recipeint uptakes and processes donor proteins which present to T cells
  • chronic recipient verus graft effect
  • chronic rejection > 21 days
59
Q

organ allocation

A
  • far fewer available organs than donors
  • decided with in hours
  • assignemtn based on ranking factors:
  • hyperacute rejection (ABO incompatibilty and alloimmunization to HLA)
  • illness of patient
  • sizing
  • distance of organ from patient
60
Q

rejection prevention for organ transplant

A
  1. anti-inflammatories- corticosteroids
  2. inhibitors of DNA replication- asathioprine, mycophenolate
  3. inhibitors of T cell activation- cyclosporine, tacrolimus, sirlimus
  4. lymphocyte depeleting antibodies- rituximab
61
Q

the goal of SCT is recipiant/donor dervied T cell activation

A

donor

62
Q

HLA mismatches are associated with increased/decreased GVHD risk

A

increased

63
Q

even with HLA matching GVHD can occur through

A

miHA

64
Q

hyperacute rejection must be avioded mainly by

A

anti-A. anti-B or anti-HLA antibodies

65
Q

hyperacute organ rejection is primarily a humoral/cell mediated process

A

humoral

66
Q

alloreactivty and graft rejection is primarily a cell-mediated/humoral response

A

CELL-MEDIATED

67
Q
  1. Which of the following donors would be best for a renal transplant?
    1. The kidney donor is the identical twin of the kidney recipient
    2. The kidney donor is an HLA-matched sibling to the kidney recipient
    3. The kidney donor is a living HLA-matched unrelated donor to the kidney recipient.
    4. The kidney is cadaveric but HLA-matched and unrelated to the recipient.
A

The kidney donor is the identical twin of the kidney recipient

68
Q
  1. Which of the following donors would be best for a stem cell transplant to treat high risk leukemia?

    2. The stem cell donor is an HLA-matched sibling to the stem cell recipient
    3. The stem cell donor is an HLA-matched but unrelated to the stem cell recipient

A

Donor grafts and the recipient must be ABO compatible

70
