xenotransplantation from pigs is particularly susceptible to membrane attack because
pic complement regulatory proteins do not regulate human complement components
Factor I deficiency affects
the positive feedback amplification loop of the alternate pathwaya
antibody -mediated therapy for cytokine mediated inflammatory diseases does what
Ig molceules bind to cytokine receptors
Ig locus deletions leads to
normal B cell number but no IgG1, IgG2, IgG4 or IgA1
Do Ig deletions cause increased susceptibility to infection
no
SCID is a pediatric______
emergency
chromosomal translocations to Ig loci could cause
malignant lmphoid cells
Biclonal myeloma occurs because
commitment to a particular H chain class occurs later, providing an opportunity for those rare multiple isotypic neoplasias to arise
Biclonal myeloma characteristics of Ig
different class
but identical V region sequences
1st pregnancies are not effected by Rh disease becauuse
IgM Ab are present and these do not cross the placenta
Rh disease occurs in the second pregnancy because
IgM switches to IgG
Coombs test detects
IgGs on surface of neotnates RBCs
hypergammaglobulinemia can be caused by
repeated immunization, infection, abnormal B cell differentiation
benign monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance usually occurs in
elderly
what determines if gammopathies are monoclonal/polyclonal
immunofixation
CD3 deficiency leads to the inability to
signal through pre-TCR
positive selection needs
pre-TCR
abnormal BCR expression treatment
antibiotics for infections
few peripheral T cells could indicate ____or_____
viral/fungal infections
autoimmunity
penicillin-specific Ab can bind___ and induce ____
RBC and hapten and induce autoimmune hemolytic anemia
if there is a coombs positive test-
discontinue drug and transfuse normal ABO-matched RBC
antibodies to polysaccharide capsules =
opsonins
multiple myeloma can lead to
pancytopenia
why wouldn't you give a multiple myeloma patient IVIG
the circulating levels of IgM are high and therefore there would be an elevated rate of clearance for antibodies in IVIG
rhogam delivers an inhibitory signal for B cell activation through
intracellular SHIP molecule
trophoblastic cells that form the fetal interface with maternal circulation are
devoid of most HLA antigens
trophoblast cells also do not produce
B7
____ are expressed at high levels at sites of implantation
Inhibitory factors, IL-10, Inhibitory B7 isoforms, death receptor ligands and PGE2
Rheumatic fever affects ___aged children and is caused by
school age caused by streptococcus pyogenes
rheumatic fever affects the
heart, joints, and CNS
oral thrush is umcommon in
immunocompetent individuals
oral thrush is caused by
candida albicans- yeast
A similar phenotype of X-linked agammaglobulinemia exists in patients with
H locus deletions that prevent functional m chain synthesis and pre-BCR expression
AID
recombinase called activation-induced cytidine deaminase
mutations in AID
imparied antigen-induced isotype switching, somatic hpyermutation in B cells and affinity maturation of ab response
allergic asthma could theoretically be treated by
blocking B cell switching to IgE synthesis within anti-IL-4 or anti-IL-13
IgG2 is commonly for
T-independent antigens
Many CD patients have mutations in the
NOD2 antimicrobial protein which diminishes their ability to clear translocated bacteria
all of these can activate mast cells
drugs
anaphylatoxins
neuropeptides substance P and somatostatin
Lectins
key target organs of systemic allergic anaphylaxis
cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal and cutaneous
eosinophils
damage the mucosal epithelium, cause perivascular edema and initiate lung tissue remodeling
mucus plugging of the bronchi results in
hyperinflation of the lungs, an inability to expire air and expiratory wheezing
what increases the risk in children of developing IgE-mediated food allergies
inability to secrete mucosal IgA
serum sickness in immune individuals typically becomes evident
1-3 days after exposure to the antigen
signs and symptoms of serum sickness
fever, rash, hypotension, anaphylactoid purpura, lymphagenopathy, myalgia, arthralgia and nephritis
when the fetus has____ GVGD can occur
congenital T cell deficiencies
is increased incidence of infection a consistent feature of autoimmune diseases?
no
what can impair host responses to infectious agents in autoimmune diseases
complement consumption
