MHC



state role of MHC in immune response

-antigen presentation


-each indvid. allele can bind to variety of peptides


-class1


-class2

MHC



3 major loci of Class I

1. A


2. B


3. C



(two alleles from each parent,


3 loci x 2 alleles = 6

MHC



which class is important for virus protection?

class I

MHC



MHC class I needs what to keep it in the


epithelium cell

active protein synthesis

MHC



Class I is _____


Class II is _____

-endogenous: can help take care of intracellular organisms



-exogenous: will help with extracellular


organisms and long term immunity.

MHC



3 major loci for class II

1. DR



2. DQ



3. DP

MHC



Class II process

-exogenous proteins taken by endocytosis are fragmented by proteases in endosome


-aplha&beta chains of MHC class 2 synthesized in ER


-transported thru golgi, reach endosome, chain ingested, peptide fragments are associated MHC classII


-transported to cell surface

MHC



Class I process

-protein fragments in cystol by proteasomes


-change shape for protection


-fragments transported across membrane to ER (by TAP transporter ass. with Antigen present.)


-fragments procesed


-translocated to surface

MHC



MHC class 1 are presenting antigens, foreign material, to...

CD8 T-cells

MHC



MHC class 2 are presenting antigens, foreign material to...

CD4+ T-cells

MHC



MHC class II -


if bind CD4+ T cell & interact with macrophage...


if bind CD4+ T cell & interact with B cell...

-cell get phagocytosize



-make antibodies

MHC



MHC class I -


if presents antigen with CD8 T cell...

if MHC 1 is presenting an antigen (something bad) then the T-cell will recognize it as bad, like a virus and then go and kill it.

MHC



role of MHC in transplantation

-major barrier


-dominant group of antigen governing rejection antigens


-matching at different degrees:


high-bone marrow, low-solid organs

histocompatibility laboratory

-typing HLA (human leukocyte antigen) genes


-serological: Antibody/Antigen interactions


between donor & recipient (classI)


-moleculare: differences DNA of HLA genes


-cellular testing: mixed lyphocyte culture (classII) (+ reaction: proliferation, cell mediated toxicity, cytokine production)

2 types of rejection episodes:

1. cell mediated: granuloma formation


cells involved



2. humoral: antibody production antibodies react with donor cells

transplant rejection



hyperactive

-minutes to hours


-result of ABO incompatible


-complement activated


(organs turn black due to clots and


decrease blood flow)

transplant rejection



acute

-early (7-10days): antibody mediated cell


response mediated by t cells and destructon of renal tubules, also fibrinoid necrosis



-late (11days-6wks): due to immunosuppresses drugs controlling t cell response but not


antibody production

transplant rejection



chronic

-months to years post transplant


-antibodies bind to HLA on endothelium

HLA matching



solid organs:



bone marrow transplants:

-low resolution



-high resolution

HLA matching



solid organs -


kidneys:


bone marrow:

-6 antigen match



-10 antigen match

Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD)



results in

rejection


Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD)



what kind of transplants mainly?

bone marrow



-hematopoietic stem cell transplants


-lymphocyte rich organs or non irradiated blood


Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD)



both CD4+ and CD8+ Ts respond to recipient tissues as...

foreigns

Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD)



results in...

inflammation and cell death

Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD)



acute

-days to week


-epithelial cell necrosis in liver, skin and gut


-symptoms: jaundice, bloody diarrhea,


cutaneous rash

Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD)



chronic

-can follow acute or just appear


-skin lesions and autoimmune like symptoms

HLA matching



immunosuppressive drugs

-azathioprine (t cell mediated)


-cyclosporin A (inhibits clonal ctl expansions)


-tacrolimus (t helper lymphokine production)


-rapamycin (IL2 receptor interference)


-biologics (monoclonal antibodies against T helpers, mono. anti. & lymphokines toxins that target t cells)
