25 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
functional inactivation of a lymphocyte
anergy
B cells that can't enter the spleen or lymph nodes because they have not been activated by both antigen and T cell interaction and die by apoptosis
anergic B cells
costimulatory signal required by a B cell to avoid being anergized
CD40L (T) with CD40 (B)
costimulatory signal required by a T cell to avoid being anergized
B7 (APC) with CD28 (T)
cytokine expressed by suppresor T cells
IL-2
eye, testis, brain, ovary, placenta
immune priveleged sites
an autoimmune disorder in which autoantibody acts as an antagonist to Ach receptrors leading to severe muscle weakness and ultimate respiratory failure
myasthenia gravis
an autoimmune disorder in which TSH receptor receives continual stimulation due to an autoantibody
Graves disease
an autoimmune disorder in which autoantibodies are produced against dsDNA and other nuclear components (ANA antibodies)
systemic lupus erythematosus
disease which is know as red wolf because of a butterfly rash
systemic lupus erythematosus
thyroid disease that is a result of antibodies agains two major thyroid proteins (thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin)
Hasimoto's thyroiditis
autoimmune disorder that results in demyelination of CNS nerve axons (can be relapsing-remitting or chronic progressive)
multiple sclerosis
autoimmune disorder in which insulin producing β cells of the islets of Langerhans are attacked by cytotoxic CD8 cells
type I diabetes mellitus
IgE mediated reactions (allergy), immediate hypersensitivity
type I hypersensitivity
cytolytic or cytotoxic reaction where IgM or IgG bind inappropriately to antigen on self-cells
type II hypersensitivity
immune complex reactions that occur due to accumlation of Ig or IgG complexes
type III hypersensitivity
cell mediated hypersensitivity (T cell mediated) that is typically delayed
type IV hypersensitivity
have receptors that bind to Fc region of IgE in a Type I hypersensitivity reaction and then cross-link antigen
mast cells and basophils
rhinitis, dermatitis, food allergies, obstructive pulmonary diseases, systemic reactions (like anaphylaxis)
manifestations of Type I hypersensitivity
type of hypersensitivity that result illustrated by a transfusion reaction
Type II
1. Cell lysis via activation of complement through IgM or IgG 2. Phagocytosis through engagement of IgG Fc portion on phagocytic cells 3. Autoantibodies acting as antagonists or agonists on receptors
3 Modes of Type II Hypersensitivity Reaction
complement components released during a type III hypersensitivity reaction that result in an acute inflammatory response
C3a and C5a
cells, which along with Th1 cells, get activated in a type IV hypersensitivity reaction and release pro-inflammatory cytokines
Th17 Cells
poison ivy (contact dermatitis), PPD test, granulomatous hypersensitivity
Type IV Hypersensitivity examples
type I diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic infections, contact sensitivity, viral hepatitis, superantigen mediated diseases
Type IV Hypersensitivy diseases
