Q

characterization of Hyperacute rejection

A

thrombotic occlusion of the graft vasculature that begins within minutes to hours after host blood vessels are anastomosed to graft vessels and is mediated by preexisting antibodies
in the host circulation that bind to donor endothelial
antigens

naive T cell
effector T cells
B cells
NK cells

29
Q

    β.
  2. Reduced ability of APCs to stimulate T cells.

30
Q

A

IL2

31
Q

The major barrier to grafting embryonic
stem cells is …

A

alloantigenicity and rejection by the recipient’s immune system.

A
  1. using adult somatic tissues by transduction of certain genes
  2. derive from somatic cells harvested from the pt
  3. remove MHC gene from allogeneic embryonic stem cells by CRISPR-Cas genome editing technology
33
Q

t/f Allogeneic HSCs are rejected by even a minimally immunocompetent
host, and therefore, the donor and recipient must be carefully matched
at all MHC loci.

A

true

34
Q

t/f GVHD is caused by the reaction of grafted mature T cells in the HSC inoculum with alloantigens of the host.

A

true

35
Q

T/F Alloantibodies cause acute rejection by binding to alloantigens mainly HLA molecules, on vascular
endothelial cells, leading to endothelial injury and
intravascular thrombosis that result in graft destruction

A

True

47
Q

Functions of Alloantibodies (4)

A
  1. cause acute rejection by binding to alloantigens, mainly HLA molecules, on vascular endothelial cells, leading to endothelial injury and intravascular thrombosis that result in graft destruction.

    neutrophils and NK cells, which then kill the endothelial
    cells.
