Immune Disorders
Hypersensitivities - IR to environmental antigens (allergens)
Autoimmunity - IR to self proteins
Immune Deficiencies - failure to respond —> infection
Transplantation Rejection - IR to foreign proteins in transplant
AMI (Antibody mediated Immune Response)
Type I
IgE -(Classic, Anaphylactic,
or Immediate)
Type II - (Cytotoxic)
Type III - (Immune Complex)
CMI (Cell Mediated Immune Response)
Type IV -Tc and Th1 response to an antigen
(Cell mediated)
Type I IgE
(Classic, Anaphylactic,
or Immediate)
Mast cells verses environmental antigens (allergens)
Type II (Cytotoxic)
IgG / IgM and complement verses cell surface antigen
Type III (Immune Complex)
IgG / IgM verses soluble antigen
Allergens : Type I (Anaphylactic) Reactions
Type I (Anaphylactic) Reactions
STEPS
Initial allergen exposure induces IgE production
IgE “sensitizes” mast cells
Fc of IgE attaches to mast cell surface receptor
Subsequent allergen exposure
Fc receptors cross linked
Degranulation
Type II (Cytotoxic) Reactions
IgG or IgM antibodies verses cell surface antigen
Presence of Ag-Ab complex activates complement
Inflammation
Complement activation causes cell lysis ( membrane attack complex)
Damage by enzymes released by neutrophiles
Ex:
Transfusion Reactions
Hemolytic Disease of Newborn
Drug induced Thrombocytopenia
Mismatch of ABO Blood Group
Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn
Drug-induced Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Type III (Immune Complex) Reactions
Allergic pneumonitis
bat guano
moldy hay
pigeon breeders lung
malt workers lung
Type IV (Cell-Mediated) Reactions
Inappropiate CMI response (Tc or Ti cells)

1. Contact sensitivity Incitants adsorbed into skin act as haptenes

2. Allergy of Infection
Ex: Tuberculosis
Th1 (inflammatory) response (CMI)
chronic inflammation
Tubercule
EX
Poison ivy
Haptens
Haptens
Contact Sensitivity
Contact Sensitivity
Autoimmunity
is loss of self-tolerance
Autoimmune Diseases
IgG antibody against cell surface, matrix antigen, or receptor (type II)

IgG and soluble antigen Immune complex disease (type III)

Tc and T inflammatory cells
T-cell mediated disease (type IV)

Note: there is no autoimmune disease in which IgE is produced against a self protein
Type II : Cell Surface Receptor
Type II : Cell Surface Receptor 2
Type III Immune Complex
Type II : Cell Surface Receptor
TYPE IV: T Cell Mediated
TYPE IV: T Cell Mediated
Diabetes 1
TYPE IV: T Cell Mediated
Acquired Immune Deficiencies
develop during an individual's life, due to

Infections
HIV – AIDS
Destruction of T4 lymphocytes (T helpers)
no Th2, no AMI and no CMI

Drugs
Immunosuppressive therapy (transplant) - drugs inhibit recipients immune responses
Chemotherapy (cancers) - drugs inhibit rapidly growing cells which include B and T lymphocytes

Cancers
B and T cell cancers - cancerous B and T cells do not respond properly
AIDS Definition
Basis : HIV+/ CD4 T Cell Count / Clinical Catagory

CD4 ≥ 500 clinical category C
CD4 200 - 499 clinical category B or C
CD4 ≤ 200 clinical category A, B, or C

Past AIDS definition: HIV+, CD4 count <200, clinical AIDS
AIDS: Category A
Asymptomatic or persistent lymphadenopathy
AIDS: Category B
Persistent Candida albicans infections
AIDS: Category C
Clinical AIDS. CMV, TB, Pneumocystis, toxoplasmosis,
Kaposi's sarcoma (and other opportunistic infections)
HIV Diagnostic Methods
Seroconversion takes up to 3 months
HIV antibodies detected by ELISA
HIV antigens detected by Western blotting
Plasma viral load is determined by PCR or nucleic acid hybridization
HIV Transmission
Other HIV Transmission
Chemotherapy
Diseases associated with AIDS
1983
Discovery of virus (HIV) causing loss of immune function.
Autograft
Use of one's own tissue
Isograft:
Use of identical twin's tissue
Allograft:
Use of tissue from another person
The fetus is an allograft that is protected from rejection
Xenotransplantation
Use of non-human tissue
anti inflammatory
prednisone
Immunosuppression
antimitotic —
— azathioprene (inhibits DNA replication)
Inhibit antigen activation of T and B cells
Immunosuppression
cyclosporine A and acrolimus (sirolimus)
suppresses IL-2
no intestinal damage
Graft verses Host Disease
