Cytokine responsible for T cell proliferation and differentiation
IL-2
Cytokine responsible for activation of mononuclear phagocytes, increases MHC class I and II expression, activates endothelial cells, activates neutrophils and NK cells and anti-viral activity
IFN-γ
This type of cell produces IL-2, IFN-γ, and TNFα
Th1
This type of cells produce IL-4, IL-5 and IL-6
Th2
These two cell types are responsible for activation of mononuclear phagocytes and other cells, cytotoxic effects:
TNFα
TNFβ
Growth factor for hemopoitic cells. Increase production of granulocytes and monococytes by bone marrow.
IL-3, GM-CSF
Major eosinophil growth and differentiation factor, Increases IgA production
IL-5
These two cytokines produced by Treg cells have inhibitory effects on lymphocyte proliferation and differentiation
TGFβ1, IL-10
Induces proliferation and differentiation of lymphocytic precursors (T and B cells)
IL-7
Proliferation and differentiation of myeloid precursor cells. Induces production of granulocytes, moncytes and mast cells
IL-3
Differerntiation of granulocytic and monocytic cells. activation of mature granulocytes and monocytes
GM-CSF
Acute phase response chemokine. Activation of lymphocytes and increased antibody production.
IL-6
Activation of NK cells. Induces differentiation of CD4 into Th1
IL-12
Chemokines act through which type of receptors?
G-protein coupled receptors
These chemokines promote the migration and activation of neutrophils and naive T cells.
CXC
These chemokines promote the migration of monocytes, activated T cells and other cell types, including eosinophilic and dendritic cells.
CC
Chemokine receptors play a significant role in which widespread disease?
HIV-AIDS - two receptors have been reported to act as the primary co-receptors for entry into cells
Infection with viruses induces the production of certain cytokines known as ______.
Interferons
Leukocyte interferon type I
IFNα
Fibroblast interferon type I
IFNβ
Immune interferon Type II
IFNγ
This cytokine is necessary for lymphocyte proliferation and expansion and is the main T-cell growth factor
IL-2
Cytokine transmembrane signaling is through which proteins?
JAK-STAT
All viruses with mRNA like genome have which essential replication step targeted by antiviral drugs:
Viral protease cleaving viral polyprotein
Herpes, Adeno and Pox viruses have which kind of DNA?
Linear dsDNA
Papilloma and Polyoma viruses have which type of DNA?
Circular dsDNA
Parvoviruses have which type of DNA?
Linear ssDNA
Hepatitis B virus have which type of DNA?
Circular ds/ssDNA
Morphological protein subunits of capsids visible with EM
Capsomeres
Number and spatial arangements of capsomeres and diameter of capsid are _____________.
Unique to each family of viruses
Formed by protein-RNA interactions rather than protein self assembly
helical nucleocapsids
All -ssDNA virus families have what?
Envelopes
What is the benefit of the more fragile lipid envelope on viruses?
They can enter and exit the cells more effeciently.
Only this type of virion can survive passage through the stomach to replicate in the intestines and be effeciently transmitted by fecal-oral route
Naked-icosohedral
Contagious lipid-enveloped virions are transmitted by ___________.
Respiratory Droplets
Viral enveloped glycoproteins are the important antigens/immunogens for which type of viruses?
lipid enveloped viruses
Viral capsid proteins are the important antigens/immunogens for which type of viruses?
Naked icosahedral viruses
Replicate their genomes via multistranded replicative intermediates to rapidly produce large numbers of RNA
ssRNA viruses
Multinucleated cells formed by fusion of infected cells with adjacent uninfected cells
Syncytia
Syncitia- multinucleated cells are characteristic of all ___________
Paramyxoviruses
These three complement fragments, when produced in large quantities or injected systemically, produce a generalized circulatory collapse, producing a shock-like syndrome
C3a, C4a, and C5a
Of the three anaplylaxotoxins, which one has the highest specific biological activity?
C5a
A diagnostic feature dertermined from assays of total serum C3 and C4.
Hypocomplementemia
Asthma allergic response in the lungs is largely mediated through _____________ complexes that trigger histamine release from mast cells.
IgE antibody-allergen complex
This disease is initiated by IgG antibodies that develop the ubiquitous enzyme GPI and form immune complexes that bind C3b without activating the classical pathway:
SLE
This component of the complement system is deficient in SLE, nephritis, recurrent infections, and high mortality rate
C1q
This component of the complement system is deficient in immune complex disease, recurrent infections, and arthritis.
C1r or C1s
This component of the complement system is deficient in hereditary angioedema
C1-INH (inhibitory)
Non-competetive protease inhibitor that inactivates both C1 and kallikrein
C1-INH
This disease is characterized by swelling of the epiglottis, abdomen or extremities, and low C1-INH, low C4 but normal C3
Hereditary Angioneurotic Edema
Prevents formation of membrane attack complex on autologous or allogenic cells. Widely expressed on membranes
CD59
Single celled fungi that reproduces by budding (asexual)
