Immune system Flashcards

1
Q

What are the functions of Lymph

A
  1. Normally, filtration of fluid out of the capillaries is slightly greater than absorption of fluid into the capillaries.
  2. The excess filtered fluid is returned to the circulation via lymph.
  3. One-way flap valves permits interstitial fluid to enter, but not leave the lymph vessels.

1. **T**-cell deficiency. 2. **T**hymus and parathyroid fail to develop. 3. Present with **T**etany due to hypocalcemia. 4. Recurrent viral , fungal and protozoal infections.
145
Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (SCID)
* Severe deficiency of both B and T-cells. * Recurrent bacterial , viral ,fungal and protozoal infections. * Patient lives in plastic ‘bubble’ to avoid any exposure. * Treatment: BMT (no rejection)
146
Chronic Granulomatous disease
1. Phagocytic deficiency due to lack of NADPH oxidase (no superoxide to kill bugs). 2. Bacterial infections by staph and strep
147
Patients with this immune disorder have defective chemotaxis and elevated IgE
Job’s Syndrome
148
Patients with this immune disorder have a defect in DNA repair enzyme. They presents with ataxia, spider angioma and IgA deficiency
Ataxia-telangiectasia
149
Patients with this immune disorder have microtubular dysfunction, decreased phagocytosis which leads to recurrent bacterial infections
Chédiak-Higashi syndrome
150
Patient with this condition presents with **T**etany and has **T**- cell deficiency with undeveloped **T**hymus and parathyroid
Thymic Aplasia (DiGeorge’s syndrome):
151
Patient with this condition have recurrent **B**acterial infections every 6 months and a **B**-cell deficiency
Bruton’s Agammaglobuinemia
152
This patient has no no superoxide (NADPH oxidase) to kill bugs
Chronic Granulomatous disease
153
Cytotoxic reaction are what type?
Type II hypersensitivity ## Footnote ***Mo Tip***
154
These antibodies mediate type II reactions
IgG IgM
155
Desease in ths hypersensitivity reaction tends to be specific to tissue or site where antigen is found.
Type II
156
IgG, IgM bind on Antigen on “enemy” cell, leading to lysis (by complement) or phagocytosis
Type II Cytotoxic
157
Patient with type II hypersensitivity presents with
−Mismatch blood transfusion −Autoimmune hemolytic anemia −Rh disease (Erythoroblastosis fetalis) −Goodpasture’s disease −ITP −Rheumatic fever −Grave’s disease −Myasthenia gravis
158
Ag-Ab complexes activates which attract neutrophils; neutrophils release lysosomal enzymes Complement fixation leads to tissue damage- “collateral damage”
Type III hypesensitivity- Immune complex
159
This type of hypersensitivity is associated with vasculitis and systemic manifestation
Type III hypesensitivity- Immune complex
160
A patient with a type III hypersensitivity presents with?
−Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis −Serum sickness −Arthus reaction (e.g. swelling and inflammation after tetanus vaccine) −SLE −Rheumatoid arthritis
161
Sensitized ‘T’ Lymphocytes encounter antigen and then release lymphokines (lead to macrophage activation)
Type IV - Delayed (cell-mediated) type
162
In this hypersensitivity immune reaction response is delayed and does NOT involve antibodies
Type IV: Delayed (cell-mediated) type
163
What is the presentation of Type IV hypersensitivity?
−TB skin test −Transplant rejection −Contact dermatitis (e.g. poison ivy) −Type I DM −Multiple sclerosis −Hashimoto’s thyroiditis −Guillian-Barré syndrome
164
**Mo TIP: ACID**
**A**naphylaxis and Atopic (type I) **C**ytotoxic (type II) **I**mmune complex (type III) **D**elayed (cell mediated) (type IV)

Review slide 66and 67
1. Virus released by an infected cell is ingested and processed by an antigen-presenting cell (APC) e.g. a macrophage. 2. The viral epitope (antigen) is presented in association with a class II MHC proteins to the virus specific T cell receptor (TCR) on the CD4 cells (double hand shake). 3. The macrophage make IL-1 which help to activate CD4 ( T helper) cell. 4. The activated CD4 makes interleukins (e.g. IL-2) which activates CD8 cell (cytotoxic T cell) to attack the virus infected cell, and the IL-4 and IL-5 which activate the B cell =\> plasma cells and produce antibody. 5. The specificity of the cytotoxic response mounted by the CD8 cell is provided by TCR, which recognizes the viral epitope presented by the virus-infected cell in association with class I MHC protein. 6. Note cell mediated (T cell) and antibody (humoral) mediated (B cell) immune responses
