Ch8: Immunodeficiency and Transplantation Flashcards
What is primary immunodeficiency?
Due to genetic mutations and are inherited
Types of primary immunodeficiency?
Dominant
Recessive
X-linked
What is secondary immunodeficiency?
Acquired/Environmental
What can cause secondary immunodeficiency?
Irradation
Drug exposure
Infection
Classical complement pathway deficiency results in what?
Immune-complex disease
MBL pathway deficiency results in what?
Bacterial infections
Alternative pathway deficiency results in what?
Infection with pyogenic bacteria and neisseria
Problem with C3b deposition results in what?
Pyogenic bacteria and Neisseria (maybe immune-complex)
Problem with C5 through C9 result in what?
Deficiency with Neisseria species
Problem with DAF or CD59?
Auto-immune conditions
Problem with C1INH results in what?
Hereditary angioneurotic edema (HANE)
What is the genetic of C1INH disease?
Autosomal dominant
C1INH is a member of what family of molecules?
Serpin protease inhibitors
How does C1INH work?
Binds to C1r or C1s and is cleaved by it.
HANE results in what?
Swelling of face, larynx and abdomen
HANE is commonly seen when?
Trips to dentist
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency results in what?
No recruitment of phagocytes to infection site resulting in widespread infections
What is cause of chronic granulomatous disease?
Defective NADPH oxidase so that macrophages can’t kill bacteria resulting in huge granulomas forming.
What is G6PD deficiency?
Defective respiratory burst so that phagocytosed bacteria can’t be killed
What is myeloperoxidase deficiency?
Deficiency in neutrophil granules and macrophage lysosomes resulting in lack of oxygen species so that phagocytosed bacteria can’t be killed.
What is Chediak-Higashi syndrome?
Defect in forming phagolysosome so results in persistent bacteria infections
LAD-1 deficiency is caused by what?
Mutations in Beta-2 integrins
LAD-2 deficiency is caused by what?
No sialyl lewis
Herpes simplex I is caused by what?
Defective antiviral immunity in CNS
Recurrent bacteria pneumonia is caused by what?
Defective innate immune response to pyogenic bacteria.
X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a defect in what?
Btk that does intracellular signaling in B cell receptor
People with XLA can develop B cells how far?
Pre-B cell
Defects in ADA or PNP result in what?
No Pro or Pre B or T cells
Defects in RAG1 and RAG2 result in what?
No Pre B or T cells
Defect in Zap70 results in what?
No cytotoxic T cells
Defect in MHC class II results in what?
No CD4 T cells
IL-12 receptor deficiency results in what??
Recurrent intracellular bacteria like myobacterium
Which is worse, absence of a cytokine or a receptor?
Receptor because cytokines can be compensated by other cytokines
No IL-12 would mean what?
Can’t activate NK Cells
Can’t activate CTL hence Th1 cells
