4 steps of leukocyte extravasation
|
-inflammation causes cytokines to be released that bind to epithelium and cause several receptors to be expressed on epithelium
1) rolling, mediated by selectins -cytokines induce expression of adhesion molecules of the selectin family on endothelium wall -these E and P selectin molecules bind to mucin like cell adhesion molecules on the leukocyte membrane -process tethers the leukocyte to the endothelial cell....but the shearing force of the circulating blood detaches the cell.....selectin molecules on another endothelial cell again tether the leukocyte: process is repeated so that the cell tumbles end over end .....caled rolling 2)activation by chemoattractant stimulus -rolling slows cell enough to allow interaction between chemokines -chemokines on endothelium and chemokine receptors on leukocyte provide a degree of specificty to the recruitment of WBC's to infection site 3) arrest and adhesino, mediated by integrins binding to Ig-family members -chemokines on endothelium binding to chemokine receptors on leukocytes causes a conformation change and the clustering of integrins> leads to arrest 4)transendothelial migration -arrest allows for leukocyte to squeeze out of the blood vessel into the tissues: it does this by associating with a variety of receptors - see page 332: 13-4 |
|
initially what do cytokines do in the early part of an inflammatory response
|
-cytokines and other mediators act on the local endothelium, inducing expression of adhesion molecules of the selectin family

|
talk about the molecules involved in T cell extravasation
|
1) during an inflammatory response, cytokines act on endothelium wall creating expression of adhession molecules for selectin family that is found on leukocytes
-CD34 binds to L-selectin 2) this process causes rolling and the cell slows down -this causes chemokine found on endothelium to react with leukocyte chemokine receptor....leads to activation 3)Activation leads to conformational changes that cause change in shape and expression of LFA-a that will bind to ICAM-1 on endothelium wall 4)after arrest, cell will bind to various that allow it to pass through endothelial layer -PECAM-1 binds to PECAM-1 -CD11a/CD18 on leukocyte binds to JAM-1 on endothelium pg 336 |

Eosinophils parasitic worm -invades skin, travels to liver, reproduces -reaches maturity at 6 to 8 weeks and starts to produce eggs: eggs normally get taken from body via digestive tract, but many become trapped in the mesenteric veins, or will be washed back into the liver, where they will become lodged. -rapped eggs mature normally, secreting antigens that elicit a vigorous immune response. The eggs themselves do not damage the body. Rather it is the cellular infiltration resultant from the immune response that causes the pathology classically associated with schistosomiasis. -abdominal pain, cough, diarrhea, -worse: hepatosplenic enlargement and dermatitis |

Malnutrition leads to general immunosuppression, often
associated with lethal measles and tuberculosis. May be links to endocrine system (steroids, leptin) Diabetes is associated with immunosuppression Hematopoietic tumors (leukemias and lymphomas) can cause immunodeficiency due to neutrophil dysfunction or destruction of lymphoid tissues Medical interventions - chemotherapies/radiation therapy (kill bone marrow-derived cells); implanted medical devices lack innate immune responses, and serve as sites of “immune privilege” for opportunistic infections AIDS - depletion of CD4+ T cells by HIV infection |

testing for an allergan
|
-Wheal and Flare Reaction
-When people undergo skin testing for allergies, allergens are rubbed onto their skin and then the skin is pricked to see if a wheal and flare reaction appears. If no reaction is observed, allergens may also be injected under the skin. Injection triggers a more intense reaction, making a wheal and flare clearly visible even if someone is only mildly allergic. A wheal and flare reaction is a skin reaction which occurs in response to exposure to an allergen. This distinctive reaction is often used in testing for allergies to determine which allergens trigger a reaction in a patient. When a wheal and flare reaction occurs outside the context of a doctor's office, it can be a sign that someone is about to experience a severe allergic reaction to something he or she has come into contact with, and it can be a good idea to be prepared for further symptoms such as difficulty breathing |
