Immunity

The ability to resist infection and diseases.

Immediate hypersensitivity (type 1)


Antibody mediated hypersensitivity (type 2)


Immune complex-mediated hypersensitivity (type 3)


T cell mediated hypersensitivity (type 4)

What are the 4 types of hypersensitivity

Degranulation

It results in histamine release, which increases vascular permeability.

Hypersensitivity reactions

Adverse reactions caused by immune mechanisms are termed?

Platelet aggregation

It causes microthrombus formation and leads to the release of vasoactive amines from platelet-dense granules.

Complement-fixing antibodies

It react directly with antigens that are integral components of the target cell.

Angiodema

It is the acute edema of cutaneous or mucosal structures, most commonly involving the lips and eyelids.

Anaphylactic shock

Systemic anaphylaxis also known as?

Serum sickness

It is a systemic deposition of antigen-antibody complexes in multiple sites, especially the heart, joints, and kidneys.

Distinguish self from non-self


Discriminate among potential invaders


Generate immune memory and amplification responses

Immune responses are characterized by their capacity to:

Immunodeficiency

Term used to decribe if the immune system is deficient.

Innate immunity


Adaptive immunity

2 types of reactions of defense against microbes.

Skin prick allergen testing

It is a test used to know allergies

Hypersensitivity diseases

Immune responses that are capable of causing tissue injury and diseases are called?

Epithelial barriers


Phagocytic leukocytes


Natural killer cell


Complement system

The 4 major components or the innate immunity are:

IgA

What immunoglobulin is the major isotype in mucosal secretions?

Dendritic cells

Are major cells for displaying protein antigens to naive T cells to initiate immune response?

Generative or primary organs


Peripheral or secondary organs

The lymphoid tissue is divided into two organs namely:

Immediate response phase

This phase is characterized by vasodilation, vascular leakage and smooth muscle spasm, evident within 5-30mins after exposure to an antigen.

Autoimmunity

It is an immune reaction to self antigens

Central tolerance

This refers to the deletion of self-reactive T and B lymphocytes during their maturation in central lymphoid organs.

Type Diabetes Mellitus

It is strongly associated with HLA-DR3 or HLA-DR4

Molecular mimicry

What phenomenon shares a cross-reacting epitopes with self-antigens?

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

It is a multisystem autoimmune disease of variable behavior. It affects the skin, kidneys, serosal membranes, joints, and heart.

DNA


Histones


Nonhistone proteins bound to RNA


Antibodies to nuclear antigens

What are the 4 categories that ANAs are grouped into?

Indirect immunofluorescence

What is the most common method to detect antinuclear antibodies?

Monogeneous or diffuse

_____ staining usually reflacts antibodies to chromatin, histones, and dsDNA

True

Kidney involvement is one of the most important clinical features of SLE with renal failure being the most common cause of death. (True or False)

Class IV

Diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis (35% to 60%); most serious form belongs to what class?

CNS disease

It is often ascribed to vascular lesions causing ischemia or multifocal cerebral microinfarcts.

Libman-Sacks endocarditis

Myocarditis, in the form of a non specific mononuclear cell infiltrate, and valvular lesions, is called?

Rhuematoid Arthritis

It is a systemic, chronic inflammatory disease affecting many tissues but principally attacking the joints to produce a nonsuppurative proliferation synovitis that frequently progresses to destroy articular cartilage and underlying bone with resulting disabling arthritis.

Serositis, Oral ulcers, Arthritis, and Photosensitivity

In the criteria for SLE, we use SOAP-BRAIN-MD. What does SOAP stands for?

Hemophilia

In the criteria for SLE, which blood abnormality does not belong in the group?

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

It is a fairly common disease. Like many autoimmune diseases, there is a strong (approximately 9:1) female preponderance.

True

The joint inflammation in RA is immunologically mediated.(true or false)

Cardiogenic


Hypovolemic


Septic

What are the general categories of shock?

Nonprogressive stage


Progressive stage


Irreversible stage

What are the stages of shock?

Albumin

What serum protein is most responsible for maintaining intravascular colloid osmotic pressure?

GP IIb/IIIa

A defect in what glycoprotein platelet membrane receptor causes Glanzmann thrombasthenia?

Collage Exposure

This activates the platelets and initiates the contact phase of coagulation.

Vegetation

Thrombi heart valves are called.
