HIV receptors
|
CD4 is the receptor for HIV gp120
chemokine receptors CCR5 on macrophages & DC Chemokine receptor CXCR4 (expressed on T cell) function as HIV coreceptors |
|
HIV tropism
|
Determined by the gp120 variant
M-tropic: requires low CD4 and CCR5. T-tropic: requires high CD4 and CXCR4 |
|
regimen of HIV inhibitors that include: nuceloside reverse transcriptase (RT), protease inhibitor, non-nucleoside RT inhibitor
|
HAART
|
|
Defect in early component C1-C4 would increase susceptibility to?
|
encapsulated bacteria infection
|
|
Defect in late component C5-C9 would increase susceptibility to?
|
gram-negative bacteria infection
|
|
Phagocyte deficiency is susceptible to?
B cell & Ab deficiency? |
Pyogenic bacteria infection.
recurrent bacteria infection |
|
T-B+
|
SCID, X-linked
|
|
T-B-
|
Adenosine deaminase deficiency (ADA)
Purine nucleoside phosphoyrlase (PNP) RAG deficiency |
|
T+B-
|
Omenn syndrome
|
|
T+B+
|
Bare lymphocyte syndrome (BLS)
|
|
Most common complement deficiency that is asymptomatic.
|
C2
|
|
Most sever, susceptible to infection and fatal in early life complement deficiency
|
C3
|
|
Susceptible to gram-negative bacteria infection (Neisseria) complement deficiency
|
C9
|
|
High risk of developing immune disease complement deficiency
|
C4 &C2
|
|
Complement controller deficiency
|
C1 esterase inhibitor
GPI PNH CD59 |
|
Localized edema complement controller deficiency
|
C1 esterase inhibitor
|
|
GPI complement controller deficiency
|
Spontaneous lysis of RBC
|
|
PNH complement controller deficiency
|
Developed by somatic DNA mutation in an enzyme essential for GPI production, can develop AML, and hemolysis in kidney at night
|
|
CD59 complement controller deficiency
|
complement regulatory protein that blocks the formation of membrane attack complex (MAC), deficiency causes RBC lysis.
|
|
LAD=leukocyte adhesion deficiency
|
A defect in the B-subunit of integrins on WBC
faulty integrins on migrating WBCs don't allow for adhesion where it is needed. Defect in common B-subunit of integrins on WBC. T cells don't use B subunit for migration, so patients have normal T cell function. Symptoms include high WBC counts, no pus formation, and ineffective wound healing. Newborns have delayed umbilical cord separation (first clinical sign). No classical signs during severe infection |
|
Defective in respiratory burst (phagocyte deficiency)
macrophages are recruited by cytokine secretion, but they cannot kill anything so the body keeps recruiting more. |
chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)
|
|
Defective in degranulation and killing in phagocytes (phagocyte deficiencey)
Cells cannot break down vesicles, lysosomes cannot fuse with phagosome to kill phagocytosed microbes. |
Chediak-Higashi Syndrome
|
|
Why is it dangerous for patients have defects in IFN-gamma receptor deficiency to receive BCG immunizations?
|
Patients with IFN-gamma receptor should not receive BCG immunization bc it can cause a letal BCG infection
|
|
Defect in IFN-gamma
|
Leukocytes have chemokine receptors so they can follow chemokine signals to reach infection. If there is integrin signaling defect, they cannot go through via diapedesis and migrate to tissues.
|
|
Syndrome caused by lack of thymus and parathyroid
|
DiGeorge syndrome
|
|
Defect in Fas, FasL or capase 10, inc. number of CD4- CD8- T cells
|
ALPS-autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome
It is dominant and recessive bc fas mutation is aut. dominant, but caspase-10 is recessive |
|
Deficiency in signal transduction, leads to defective T cell function and impaired B cell function, CD8+ T cells are absent
Causes SCID-like clinical features |
ZAP-70
|
|
T cell deficiency, impaired Th1 (defect in Th cell producing TFN-gamma)
So Th2 becomes dominant |
Hyper-IgE
|
|
Defect in B cell class switching due to mutation in CD40L, CD40, or CD40-CD40L signaling
No germinal center formation |
Hyper-IgM
|
|
Bruton's agammaglobulinemia, x-linked infantile agammaglobulinemia, or x-linked hypogammaglobulinemia.
caused by mutation of btk (B cell tyrosine kinase) that blocks maturation from preB virtual absense of B cells can very low level of all Ig. |
XLA
|
|
What are ths SCID-like multisystem disorders?
|
ZAP-70 mutation
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome Ataxia Telangiectasia (AT) |
|
Baring no MHC II (due to mutation in TAP)
results in higher CD8+ |

|
Omenn Syndrome (T+B-)
|
|
Which SCID counts for almost half of the total SCID cases?
|

Caused by mutation of gamma-chain cytokine receptor including IL-2, 4, 7, 9, 15. |
|
SCID-like multisystem disorder, caused by mutation in WASP protein that exists in all hematopoietic stem cells and binds to adapters and probably cytoskeleton components.
|
Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome:
|
|
SCID-like multisystem disorder caused by autosomal recessive mutation in ATM, a protein involved in DNA repair in all cells.
|
AT: Ataxia Telangiectasia
|
|
Which molecules on CD4+ T cells are used by HIV to enter T cells?
