What causes classical Type IV hypersensitivity?
CD4(TH1) cells-->macro activation-->damage
What do CD4(TH2) cells do in hypersensitivity?
chronic allergy and asthma, produce IgE and activate eosinophils-->damage
What do CD8 cells do in hypersensitivity
direct cell killing, contact dermatitis, transplant rejection
Can you get both delayed and immediate hypersensitivity to same Ag
Yes
Delayed Type Hypersensitivity?
Ag: proteins(insect venom, mycobacterial proteins)-->local skin swelling, erythema, induration, cellular infiltrate, dermatitis
Contact Hypersensitivity?
Ag: Haptens(pentadecacatechol[poison ivy], DNFB, small metal ions[peptide interactions]-->local epidermal rxn, erythema, cellular infiltrate, vesicles, intraepidermal abcesses
Gluten Sensitive enteropathy aka Celiac Disease
Ag: Gliadin-->villous atrophy in small bowel-->malabsorption
What must be doen to small molecules before hypersesnsitivity reaction occurs?
must bind to larger molecule so immune system can see it
What is the timeframe of delayed type hypersensitivity?
Sensitization phase due to T cell proliferation(1-2 weeks) Effector Phase(1-3 days after reexposure) and longer if single exposure
Can delayed type hypersensitivity be transferred in T cells? Serum?
Yes, NO
what type of cell usually mediates Delayed Type Hypersensitivity?
TH1 cells
what happens in effector phase?
TH1 cells secrete cytokines(IFN-Gamma, TNF-Beta, IL2, IL3, GM-CSF) and chemokines(IL8, MCAF, MIF)
what are the effects of macrophage activation?
increased Class II MHC molecules increased TNF receptors, increased oxygen radicals, increased NO
What is Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor(MIF) for?
secreted by T cells, adenohypophysis, skin, & liver macros localizes macros and activates them MIF and TNFalpha enhance each other counters Cortisol's inhibition effects
What is cortisol?
principal stress hormone antiinflammatory glucocorticoid inhibits immune system
How to give TB test
inject .1 mL of % TU PPD TB produce wheal 6mm to 10mm in diameter, be careful with needle, read 48-72 hours later
What Ag causes poison ivy?
Pentadecacatechol
What Ag cause contact dermatitis
Nickel, hair dyes, poison ivy, formaldehyde, late gloves
How do metals and small molecules stimulate T cells
complex with skin proteins to make hapten-->MHCI or MHCII
What causes Nickel allergy?
nickel complexed with peptide recognized by CDR3(Vbeta17 arginine-95)
Contact Dermatitis Progression
Ag penetrates skin-->langerhans cells-->haplenated and presented by Langerhans-->keratinocytes secrete IL1, TNF-alpha, IL8, IP9 and MIG-->macro activation-->inflammation
What does sun damaged skin do?
makes this contact dermatitis reaction more severe
Celiac Disease progression
Gluten Ag transglutaminated via Tissue Transglutaminase-->MHCII presentation-->CD4 T cell activation-->killing of mucosal cells
psoriasis
gets lots of T cells involved with shortened cell cycle in keratinocytes
Why is Tb hard to treat?
STUPID Patients don't listen and take their pills due to side effects
TB containment
aided by 4 types of T cells to make granulomas CD4 TH1 cells, CD8 CTLs, gammadelta T cells, T cells recognizing lipind on CD1
What promotes phagosomal maturation?
Interferon-Gamma
What is most important in controlling TB? What else helps?
IFN-GAMMA THF-alpha and lymphotoxin-3 help
