  • Front
  • Back
Stem Cells become
red blood cells
white blood cells
platelets
Stem cells come from
marrow
cord blood
peripheral
HCT
33 %
Hemoglobin
12-16 grams/Dl
Types of WBCs
Neutrophils
Monocytes
Lymphocytes
Neutrophils
primary defense against harmful bacteria
Monocytes
cells that assist in the fight against bacteria and fungi
- one of the macrophages which mainly fight fungal, protozoan, or parasitic
Lymphocytes
create antibodies
T-Cell and B-cell
T-Cells
recognize foriegn material
activate B-cells
B-Cells
to produce antibodies that recognize a previous infection
Platelets
blood clotting
Engraftment
ANC is greater than 500 for three consecutive days
as early as 14 days but usually closer to 30
first 100 days is the most critical
HLA
Human Leukocyte Antigen
an antigen is a substance on the surface of the lymphocyte cells
recognizes self and non-self
Transfuse blood when hemoglobin is
<8
Transfuse platelets when hemoglobin is
, 20
Stre. Pneumoniae
Prophylaxis
Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine 23 @ 12 and 24 months (not children <2)
TMP-SMZ
Engraftment
ANC > 500/mm3
& sustained platelets 20,000
lasting 3 consecutive without transfusion s
Phase I, preengraftment
first 30 days posttransplant
Cautions
1. prolonged neutropenia
2. breaks in the mucocutaneous barrier
Phase II, postengraftment
Impaired cell-mediated immunity
key factors: extent of GVHD and level of immunosuppressive
CMV
causes pneumonia, hepatitis, and colitisis and potentiates superinfection with opportunistic pathogens
Antigen Presenting Cells
is a cell that displays foreign antigen complex with MHC on its surface
Antibodies
circulate in the blood and bind to antigens on infectious agents
- inactivation of microorganism
- activation of inflammatory response
Humoral immunity
is the aspect of immunity that is mediated by secreted antibodies (B Cells)
T Cells become
T regulatory cells
Cytotoxic T Cells
Memory T Cells
Cytotoxic T cells
directly attack and kill targets directly
Cellular immunity
Passive Acquired Immunity
does not involve the host's immune response but rather occurs when preformed anitbodies or T lymphocytes are transferred from a donor to the recipient.
For example, IVIG administration
CD
Cluster of differentiation
large family of protiens found on the surface of cells
antigens is immunogenic based on
- foriengnness to the host
- appropriateness in size
- having an adequate chemical complexity
- being present in a suggicient quantity
MHC
major histocompatibility complex
recognition molecules
antigen presention is the primary role of molecules of the MHC
- glyco protien found on the surface of all human cells except RBC
Class I or II
Humans have two copies of each MHC locus (one inherited from each parent) that are co-dominant so that molecules encoded by each parent's genes are expressed on the cell surfae.
Within an individual, each locus will be expressing only one allele. For example, each person will have only two different A protiens ( one from each parent). However, with the tremendous number of possible alleles that can be expressed, it is likely that any two unrelated individuals will have different sets of MHC molecules on their cell surface.
Rejection happens when
a different set of MHC surface antigens than those of the recipient are seen as foreign.
Six major HLA locations
A, B, C, DR, DQ, and DP is termed a haplotype
Haplotype
Each individual has two haplotypes: one from teh paternal chromosome 6 and another from the mother
Antigen presenting molecules
Class I MHC
Class II MHC
CD 1
CD1 molecules specialize in
lipid antigens contained in lipoprotiens, glycoplipids, and other molecules. Usuaully bacterial with the Mycobacterium spp.
(e.g. Mycobacterium tuberculosis)
anitbody
immunoglobin
produced by plasma cells (B)
5 types of immunoglobins
IgG
IgA
IgM
IgE
IgD
IgG
most common
protect against infection
IG 1-4
IgA
IgA 1-2
A1 in the blood
A2 normal body secretions
mucosal epothelial cells that protect against degradation by enzymes
It is found in body secretions such as saliva, sweat, or tears. IgA prevents the attachment of viruses and bacteria to skin and intestinal lining surfaces.
IgM
initial/primary response to antigen
early on in an infection
IgD
on immature and developing B lymphocytes
low amounts in serum
IgE
least concentrated
allergic responses
defends against parasites
cytokines
chemical signals between cells
i.e IL 1
start + or - regulation responses
fx: target cells (1)to proliferate and differentiate, (2) create proteins
can effect not only lymphocytes but inflammatory responses and hematopoietic cells
can be antagonistc - inducing opposite effects on the cell
IL1
T cell to prolifteration and di fferentiation; induces acute phase proteins in inflammatory response; endogenous pyrogens
neutrophils
phagocytes
early inflammatory process
short lived
component of the purulent exudate - pus
monocytes or macrophages
same as neutrophils but for a longer time and in a later stage of the inflammatory process
activate the adaptive immune system

Kupffer cells - liver
Alveolar - lungs
brain - macroglia
