Which factors contribute to neutrophil chemotaxis?
LPS, IL 1,8, TNF alpha; C3, 5 degradation; leukotriene B4
Which chemokine is the major cytokine in eosinophil chemotaxis and maturation?
IL 5**
After immune stimulus, what doe eosinphils degranulate to release?
Eosinophil granular proteins (Major basic protein); arachidonic acid metabolites; reactive O2; intermediates, cytokines,peptide mediators (substance P, VIP)
What kind of helper cells mediate allergic inflammatory reaction vs non allergic inflammation ?
TH 1 – non –allergic; TH2 – allergic: (IL 4,5,6,9,10,13)
Which IL does TH2 secresret that leads to allergic rxn?
IL 4,5,6,9,10,13
Which cells make toxic granules which induce: death of pathogen infected cells esp viruses/pneumonitis) and are the primary effector cells in graft rejection ?
Cytotoxic T cells
Which cells are part of adaptive immune response rsponseible for humaral immunity relating to antibodies?
B cells
Which IG is made by plasma B cells and is most abundant IG in circulation and alveoli?
IgG
Which Ig is major Ig found in mucous secetions and upper airway?
sIgA
Which Ig deficiency is ~ atopy and airway reactivity?
IgA
? cells are part of innate immune system and play a major role in defending host from both tumors and virally infected cells
NK cells
What is pulmonary lung lymph made of ?
Lymphocytes, protein, lipids
What factors are responsible for abpsortion for lung lymph fluid balance?
10% of interstitial fliud enters lymphatic capillaries to become lymph before returning back to blood
What factors are responsible for secretion (chylothrorax) for lung lymph fluid balance?
Trauma of duct; thrombus of left or right subclavian vein; malformations; malignancy in upper thorax
What are immunosuppressive drugs in lung transplant?
Steroids, caineruin inhibitors, antiproliferatives; mTOR inhibitors
Which diz results from defect in phagocytosis , decreased reactive O2 species made by NADPH oxidase complex
CGD: chronic granulomatous diz
How dx CGD?
Negative netrohpil oxidative burst test
Di-George, wiskot-aldrich, Ataxia-telangiectasia; ~ infx include PCP, nocardia, andida, legionella, virsues, parasites, mycobacteria are all associated w/ kind of cellular immunity?
Impaired cellular immunity
X-linked hypogammaglobulinemia, CVID, IgG deficiency or Ig G subclass 2 or 3 deficiency ~ infx include encapsulated organz: s. pnuemo.; h. influ; neissearia or s. aureus) is what kind of immunity?
Humoral
Major basic protein is made by which cell? Eoinsohpils, Epithelial cells, Lymphocytes, Neturophils
Eosionphils
Which inflammatory protine causes vasodilation? Bradykinin, Interleukin-2, Thromboxane, Endothelin
Interleukin 2
Which mediator reduces the inflammatory response? IL -10, TGF alpha, TNF –alpha, Vasoactive intestinal protein,
IL 10
Which hcytokine mediates eosinophil chemotaxis and maturation? IL 1,2,5,6
IL -5
Mycophenolic acid produces immune modulation through which mechanism? Prevents natural killer cell-mediated activation by inhibiting phosphadytilinositol 3 kinase, Inhibits calcinuerin mediated transcription of IL2, Purine analogue which inhibits synthesis of DNA in proliferating lymphocytes, Binds to mammalian target of rapamycin, leading to inhibitionof T cell proliferation,
Purine analogue which inhibits synthesis of DNA I nproliferating lymphoctyes
What surfactant proteins are ceollecings modulating the innate immune system by binding to microorganisms and facilitating phagocytois? (within in the epithelial cells)
A and D
The epithelial cells secrete anti-bacterial proteins called what ? 2 of them
Beta defensins and lysozyme
Which enzyme secreted by epithelial cells hydrolyzes structural components of bacterial cell wall?
Lysozyme
Why is the endothelium more permeable during an acute inflammatory process?
b/c epithelium has tight junctions so it’s less permeable.
Which drug (transplant) prevents actitation of NK cells? Prevents IL-2 transcription?
calcinuerin inhibitor: Tacrolimus/cyclosprin: (when APC interacts w/ T cells, calcieurin is activated and increases transcription of IL2 and other cytokines which activate NK cells)
Which drug (lung transplant) inhibits DNA synthesis, and affects proliferating cells, such as T and B cells)
Purine analogue (azathioprine, mycophenolic acid/cellcept)
Which drug disrupts IL2 Receptor signaling and inhibits T cell proliferation?
mTOR inhibitors (rapamycin, siroliums everolimus)
