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+
BLS Bare lymphocyte syndrome
What SCID disorder cannot be treated with bone marrow transplant?
Omenn Syndrome (T+B-)
Which SCID counts for almost half of the total SCID cases?
X-linked SCID (T-B+) no T cell, normal B cell with no function

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?

On macrophages?
T cells: CD4 receptor, CXCR4 is chemokine receptor that functions as HIV coreceptor

Macrophages: CCR5 is chemokine receptor that functions as HIV coreceptor
How do we monitor HIV patients?
Flow cytometry to count CD4

Normal CD4:CD8 ratio is 2:1

In HIV, ratio is 1:2
