Week 3 Flashcards
b cell location
follicles. Stained immunohistochemical cd20
t cell location
perifollicular. stained immunohistochemical. cd3
Use of HLA testing?
Screen for disease risk and test for transplantation workup (MHC1 match better prognosis)
Problems distinguishing b-lymphocyte prolif from monoclonal (neoplastic) Use what?
B-lymphocyte immunoglobluin gene rearangement analysis
TCR gene rearrangement analysis
check if population of neoplastic t lympocytes have same TCR gene rearrangement. Helps determine neoplastic prolif
flow cytometry
quantifies fluorescent tagged cells. MUST USE FRESH UNFIXED TISSUE/BLOOD
Normal lymph flow cytometry
85% t cell, 15% b cell. 1.5% more kappa than lambda
In situ hybridization
used to stain lambda or kappa lights chains. If both stain, its polyclonal
Protein electrophoresis
Checks gamma peak looking for a spike or not.
immunofixation electrophoresis
used to detect what type of M-spike there is if long skinny peek on protein electrophoresis
waldenstroms macroglobulinemia shows up how?
M spike in gamma regoin and kappa restriction
5 pillars of cancer treatment?
surgery, chemo, radiation, target therapies to specific changes on cancer cell and now immunotherapy
Atopy
Predisposition to develop immediate hypersensitivy reaction. 50% atopic people have family with allergies
Localized allergic reaction examples and how to diagnose
sinusitis, bronchial asthma, food allergies, urticaria. Find offending agent by using skin prick allergy test
Treatment of localized allergic reaction
avoid offending agent, medications (steroids, antihistamines, etc), or immunotherapy (desensitization therapy)
<p></p>
<p>define system anaphylaxis</p>
life threatening systemic allergic reaction. Typicall find fall in BP, bronchospasms and laryngeal edema
<p></p>
<p>causes of systemic anaphylaxis</p>
drugs (penecillin), food (peanuts) insect toxins (bee sting) or latex allergy
<p></p>
<p>treatment for anaphylaxis</p>
IM EPI!
<p></p>
<p>What is desensitization therapy?</p>
used with honeybee allergy for example, give repeated injections with higher doses. Body makes more IgG that can bind to allergin and prevent binding to mast cell
<p><p>Pemphigus vulgaris</p></p>
<p><p>HS type 2. antibodies against desmoglein found in desmosomes of the epidermis. result is massive blisters</p></p>
<p><p>goodpasture syndrome</p></p>
<p><p>HS type 2 antibodies against basement membrane of glomerular .LINEAR PATTERN OF DEPOSITION</p></p>
<p></p>
<p>reason for type 3 HS damage</p>
antigen antibody complex FORM, DEPOSITION on vessel walls and lead to tissue damage when cleared out. by COMPLEX MEDIATE IMFLAMMATION
<p></p>
<p>How to detect disease activity in HST-3</p>
Check levels of c3 as they are burned up with course of disease
