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) |
