so an autoimmune is when we attack self, what is an immunodeficiency
absebce of failure of immune system
what is the main thing we see with immunodeficiencies
recurrent infections
what are some general things we see with a B cell deficiency (humoral)
lots of polygenic bacterial infections in the airway and gut.ear infections, parasites, extracellular bugs
deficiency in IgA stuff, and ALL ig are decreased

tonsils may look small
do we see reduced DTH with B or T deficit
T
in general what do we see with T deficiency
normal or reduced Ig
decreased DTH (type 4, T cell dependent)

*lots of opprotunistic infections
ppl who get lots of recurrent pyogenic infections have a deficit inwhat (pnemonia, ear infection, sinusitus)
humoral

ear, pnemonia, sinus, paraiste, giardia in git, polio in gut
we see increased parasitic infections with B or T defect
B
other than B cells what other htings are affected with HUMORAL immunodeficiency
anything in the humor (fluid)

cytokines, compliment, AB
ppl who are more susceptible to a virus may be deficit in T or B
T

intracellular bugs, opprotunistic infections
are T cell dificits usually isolated
not really, T cells are needed to have a good B cell response so we often see dificits in B when we have deficits in T
when might we see oral thrush
candidiasis seen in mouth of ppl with decreased T

HIV pts
what is a primary immuno deficiency
genetic problem
developmental (embryonic) defect

1. Defect in WBC maturation, function. Compliment deficit

3. Cancer
4. Infections (HIVI
if you have an acquired immune deficiency is it 1 or 2
2

malnutrition, drugs, cancer, infection
so primary immune deficiencies display a wide variety of sx. what is the common link of them all
recall 1 oa a genetic or developmental deficit in WBC maturation or fx or a compliment deficiency

**ALL ALLOW MULTIPLE INFECTIONS
so infectrions are the hallmark of primary immune responses is this the only thing that goes on
NOPE, and its often not the most importatn

assocaited with other PI: anemia, arthritis, autoimmune disease

can also involve heart, GI, nervous system

can retard growth, increase cancer risk
what are a few of the things tht can be associated with PI other than increased infections
anemia, arthritis, autoimmune disease
heart, GI, nervous system
slow growth, increase risk of cancer
PI are the result of what
defects in lymphocyte maturation/activation/fx
defects in innate immunity (compliment)
what are some innnate PI

what are some examples of SCIDS (B and T are deficient)
1. reticular dysgensis
2. SCID
3. bare lymphocyte syndrome
4. wiskott Aldridch
what are the ten warning signs of PI
1. eight+ new infections/year
2. 2+ sinus/year
3. 2 mo on antibiotic w/o help
4. 2+ pnemonia/year
5. dont gain weight
6. recurrent deep skin/abcesses
7. thrush after 1yo
8. IV antibiotics to clear infection
9. 2+ deep seated infections
10. family hx of PI

**if 2 or more look into more tests
so what info do the 10 PI warning signs tell us
if they have 2 or more there MAY be an immunodeficiency. look for more testing

8 new infections, 2 sinus/pnemonia, 2 mo on abiotics wo help, dont gain weight, deep skin infections, thrush, IV antibiotics needed, 2 deep seated infections, family hx
so if a kiddo has more than 8 new infections in a year that dont respond to antibiotics in 2 months and require IV antibiotics. what shuld you do?
TESTS to check for PI

1. base line info: CBC, H&P
2. Ig titers. Boost and remeasure
3. DTH and phagocyte response (like TB tests to see if T cells work)
4. Specific tests
what are the 4 things you need to test if you think a kid has PI
1. Get a baseline

2. Check Titers and see of they respond to a boost (chech AB)

3. Check DTH, like a TB test. Check phagocyte response (chect T)

4. SPecific tests
what is the mechanism of defect and the fx deficiency seen in chronic granulomatous disease
is this innate, T, B, combined
mutation in phagocyte oxidase, cytochrome B558

phagocytes cant make ROS and so inflammation persists and granuloma forms

INNATE
what is the mechanism of defect and fx deficit seen in Leukocyte Adhesion deficiency 1

is this innate, T, B, combined
INNATE

mutation in B chain of B2 integrins

**absent/deficient expression of B2 integrins causes defective leukocyte adhesion
what is the mechanism of deficit for leukocyte adhesion deficiceny 2. what is the fx defecit

is this innate, T or B
mutation in E/P selectins ligand

leukocytes wont migrate into tissues. because lack of ligand

innate
what is the mechanism of deficit and the fx deficit seen in a C3 difeicieny

innate, t, b, or TB
mutation in C3

cant activate compliment cascade

*innate
what happens with C2 or C4 deficeincy
cant activate classical path, buildup of immune complexes and development of lupus like disease
what is the mechanism of defect and functional defect in Chediak Higashi Syndrome

innate, T, b, TB
mutation in a gene endocing a lysosomal trafficking regulatory protein

defective lysosomal fx in PMN, macro, dendritic cells. defective granule fx in NK
INNATE
what is CHS
deficit in LYST causes deficient intracellular protein trafficking of lysosomes and granules
in what disease is LYST defective
CHS

*LYST controls intracellular protein trafficking of lysosomes nad granules

**impairs the lysosomes found in leukocytes nad platelets
**impairs granules in PMN
*inpairs menanosomes of melanocytes

Pts ahve recurrent infections, partial oculocutaneous albianism, and infiltration of organs with non neoplastic lymphocytes
what are the cells affected by CHS
leukocytes nad platelets have impaired lysosomes

PMN have impaired granules

Melanocytes have impaired melanosomes

**this all leads to albinism, infections. leukocyt infiltration in organs

Deficit in LYST that monitors lysosomes and granules
what disease affects lysosome and granules, waht gene
CHS
LYST gene

**impairment of:

1. lysosomes of leukocytes/platelets
2. Grnaules of PMN
3. Melanosomes of Melanocytes

**leads to recurrent infections, albinism, infiltration of lymphocytes into organs
what is CD132.
what happens when we ahve a deficiency in CD132
CD132 is a common g chain if several cytokine R

*CD132 deficit leads to deficit in IL2 Il4 IL7 IL15 RECEPTROS. important cytokines for lymphocyte maturation/activation


leads to SCIDS: secere combined imminodeficiceny (B and T are affected)

*ancoded on X chromoseom
a defiency is wht CD leads to a SCID that affects many IL receptors
CD132

**cd1332 is a common g chain of IL2 IL4 IL7 IL15 RECEPTORS. this leads to deficits in plymhocyte activation./matureation

NO T or NK, the B are non fx
what would cause IL2 4 7 15 Receptors to ALL be defective
defectice in Cd132

**primary immunodeficiency
**CD132 is a common g chain in all of these IL receptors

No T or NK cells, B are deficient
what happens with ADA SCIDS
ADA helps break nucleotides

**lymphocytes are most sensitive to ADA deficits. toxic metabolits build up and ALL Lymphocytes are lost
what immune cell is affected in ADA SCIDS
ALL lymphocytes

**ADA is deficient and so toxic materia backs up, inhibit DNA synthesis
what happens with a deficiency in JAK3
deficit in T and B

**cant signal either lymphycote
what happens with RAG deficienct
NK is normal. B and T are bad

RAG is needed for TCR and BCR formation. No receptor no fx T or B cell
what happens when we have a SCID of T and B but NK are ok. its due to no BCR or TCR
this is RAG deficiency
in what kind of SCID would NK be normal
RAG deficit

**RAG is used for TCR and AB/BCR
do immunodeficiency SYNDROMES inclue just the immune system
Nope, multi systems involved nad usually both T and B are affected so they are caleld SCIDS

Ex: DiGeorge
Ataxia Telangiectasia
Wiskott Aldridch Syndrome
Job syndrome: hyperIgE
WAS (Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome)

is characterized by a genetic defects in...

It is characterized by what 3 things, and why do we see thse defects
WASp protein on the X chromosome. interferes with HSC growth and signaling

1. Bleeding: thrombocytopenia
2 Infections: decreased B/T. low IgM but increased IgG, IgA, IgE.
3. Eczema

**increased rosk of AI and bone cancers
waht disease is characterized by Bleeding, Recurrent infections, decreased IgM, increased IgE/A/G and eczema
WAS

**defect in the X linked WASp that has to do with HSC signaling and growth
waht disease is characterized by an X linked deficiency in the abilty of HSC to grow and signal
WAS

WASp is the protein and it is characterized by

1. Thrombocytopenia
2. Recurrent Infections (Decreased IgM, Increased IgG/E/A)
3. Eczema
what is Ataxia Telangectasia?
what kind of genetic defect?
what are clinical things seen
Autosomal Recessive Defecit in ATM (this repairs DNA, when its broken we get non ranom 7:14 translocations thta occur)

*increased cancer rates, SCIDS

1. Abnormal Gait: cerebellar egeneration
2. Dilated BV in eyes/skin
3. Recurrent infections (Decreased IgG/E/A and increased IgM)
so one disease has Decreased IgM and Increased IgG/E/A and another has the total opposite
WAS: decreased IgM, increased IgE/G/A

AT: increased IgM, Decreased IgE/G/A
what does ATM do, in what disease is it deficient, what do we see as a result of deficiency
ATP repaires DNA
without it we have ineffectiant repair and we get 7:14 mutations. This comprimises humoral and CMI and increases rates of cancer

1. Abnormal Gait
2. Dilated BV in eye/skin
3. Recurrent Infection: Increased IgM, decreased IgE/A/G
what is hyper IgE, what genetic component is out of wack
STAT3

**Decreased Phagocytic killing and activation --> decreased IL12

**no IL12 means that we cant get Th1 differentiation. Th2 builds up and we get LOTS of IgE
what PT is characterized by a lack of Th1
hyper IgE, we have excess Th2 that secrete IgE

**this is because we have decreased phago, this means decreased IL12 and decreased Th1 differnetiation


**characterized by DHT deficits, skin abcess, pnemonia, facial abnormalities
what does IL12 do? in what disease is it deficient
IL12 from phago indice Th1,

defective in Job (hyper IgE)

**no IL12 so no TH1, so we get LOTS of Th2. This makes IgE
what Pi is characterized by facial abnormalities, skin abcess, and pnemonia, also DHT deficit
Job, Hyerp IgE

**STAT is efective so we have defective phago, this mean defective IL12, this means no TH1, this means high Th2, this means high IgE
what are teh 2 approaches to tx of PI
1. Minimize/COntrol Infections
2. Replace the immune system with adoptive transfer or Genetic replacement like gene therapy or BMT
to tx PI we might replace the immine system. what are 2 ways this can be dome
1. Adoptive Transfer: passive immunization with pooled gammaglobulin, exogenous administration of cytokines or enzymes

2. Genetic Replacement: gene therapy or BMT
what is DeGeorge Syndrome
whats broken, what clinical manifestatiosn do we see
delete part of Ch 22, paryngeal arch defect

**NO thymus/Parathyroid

-variable T cells
-No T memory-decreased response to skin test AG
-increased infections
-HYPOcalcemia
if we have a break in chromosome 22 adn we see decreased T cell and hypocalcemia what PI are we thinking
DiGeorge
what is deficient in XLA, what do we see as a result
a tryosine kinase that converts Pro B to PreB

**no Mature B cell!

*low Ig, low B, normal T. Lots of infections, tonsils are barely detectable
what is the disease that is characterized by inability to make mature B but can make T
XLA

**missing tyrosine kinase that makes Pre B, no mature B ever form

lots of infections, things arent cleared by compliment, opsinization, etc
what is a TAP deficiency
when we cant display AG in MHC I

**decrease CTL Activity
what can be the cause if we cant display AG on MHC I
TAP deficiency
what is hyper IgM
Loose CD40L so we cant activate B cells in a T dependent manner

*we can make IgM w/o CD40L but none of the others can be made bc T dependent is required for class switching
what can cause the inability to class switch AB
Hyper IgM

**loose CD40L so we dont have a 2 signal in T dependent B cell activation

**cant class switch so we get HYPER IgM
what is CGD
cells do not have the appropriate ROS so inflammatory mediators continue and we get granulomas
what disease is caused by an inability to remove pathogens that have been ingested due to defective ROS
CGD

**the pathogen persists and so we get chornic inflammation that leads to CGD
what causes LAD 1
problem with B2 integrin (CD18) and so inflammatory cells cant get to the tissues

*we see recurrent infectinos
what is the complimnt deficiency C1Inh
C1 is always active ad so we have lots of C3a and C5a making anaphylatoxins so we get angioedema
what disease that is characterized angioedema, what causes it
C1Inh

**C1 inhibitor is broken so C1 is always on and so C3a and C5a are always on, thes are anaphylatoxins that cause angioedema
what happens with a DAF CD59 deficiency
excess compliment activation on RBC surface

*hemolytic thrombosis and venous thrombossu
a deficiency in what leads to excess comlpiment activation that results in hemolytic anemia nad venous thrombosus
DAF

CD59
defects in TCR complex signaling are due to deficiency in what
MHC II
so mutations where lead to x linked nad autosomal hyper IgM
Autosomal: AID mutations

X Linked: CD40 Ligand
