-graft versus host disease
type IV (delayed or Cell-mediated) hypersensitivity
what type of hypersensitivity is due to the formation of antigen-antibody complexes, also called immune-complexes
type III (immune_complex mediated) hypersensitivity
what type of hypersitivity causes inflammation due to contact with certain antigens after 12-24 hours?
type IV (delayed or cell-mediated) hypersensitivity
what type of hypersensitivity can cause systemic and localized reactions?
type III (immune-complex mediated) hypersensitivity:

Systemic-
-systemic lupus erythematosus
-rhematoid arthritis

Localized-
-hypersensitivity pneumonitis
-glomerulonephritis
Type IV (delayed or Cell-mediated) hypersensitivity:

delay in the response reflects the time it takes for ___ and ___ to migrate to and proliferate at the site of the antigen
macrophages and T cells
what type of hypersensitivity results in Allergic contact dermatitis?
type IV (delayed or cell-mediated) hypersensitivity
what is the name of the antigen involved in the tuberculosis?
M. tuberculosis
tuberculin response is mediated by ____
memory T cells
___ is a cell-mediated immune response resulting in an intensely irratating skin rash
allergic contact dermatitis

-response triggered by chemically modiied skin proteins that the body regards as foreign
-can happen when a hapten, such as the oil from poison iy and related plants, binds to proteins on the skin
what can be used to treat allergic contact dermatitis?
coritcosteroids
Graft-verse-host Disease

if donor and recipient differ in MHC class II, then grafted ___ cells attack the antigen-presenting cells of the host
T-cells

leads to immunosuppression
If donor and recipient differ in MCH class __ molecules, the grafted T cells attack all of the recipient's tissues
MCH class II
categories of autoimmune diseases:

what are the two major catagories?
Single tissue diseases and systemic diseases
categories of autoimmune diseases:

what tissues/cells/glands are effected by single tissue diseases?
blood cells, endocrine glands, and nervous tissue
categories of autoimmune diseases:

what types of diseases are a result of systemic autoimmune diseases?
systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis
there are two things that cause the systemic effects of systemic lupus erythematosus and rhematoid arthritis....what are they?
type III (immune-complex mediated) hypersensitivity

and

systemic autoimmune disease
autoimmunity affecting blood cells:

production of autoantibodies to leukocytes makes what difficult?
combating infections
autoimmunity affecting blood cells:
production of autoantibodies to RBCs results in what ?
hemolytic anemia and it also causes destruction of RBC by phagocytic cells or complement system activation
autoimmunity affecting blood cells:
production of autoantibodies to blood platelets causes what?
blood does not clot
autoimmunity affecting endocrine organs:

what disease causes these effect:

-autoantibodies bind cells in the anterior pituitary gland
-stimulated cells produce thyroid stimulating hormone
-results in excessive production of thyroid hormone and growth of the thyroid gland
Grave's disease
autoimmunity affecting endocrine organs:

what disease causes these things:

- results from the inability to produce insulin
-some cases develop following a viral infection or in people with a genetic predisposition
Type I diabetes
what cells in the pancreas are effected during type I diabetes?
islet of langerhans
what gland is affected during Grave's disease
thyroid gland
Autoimmunity affecting Nervous tissue:

what disease causes these effects:

cytotoxic T cells attack and destroy myelin sheath
-results in deficits in vision, speech, and neuromuscular function
-may be triggered by a viral infection
multiple sclerosis
what results from a type III hypersensitivity reaction where B cells in the joints produces autoantibodies agains collagen that covers joint surfaces
rheumatoid arthritis
in immunodeficiency diseases, what type occurs early in life, and is a result from some genetic or developmental defect?
primary
in immunodeficiency diseases, what type develops later in life, is caused by severe stress?
acquired
immunodeficiency diseases:

Acquired:

suppression of cell-mediated immunity results from an excess production of ___
corticosteroids , which is toxic to T cells
___ is the study and diagnostic use of antigen-antibody interactions in blood serum
serology
what test is described :

antibodies bind to binding site of the virus so the virus can no longer attach to cell

a-precipitation test
b-agglutination tests
c- neutralization tests
