|
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

|
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
|
