Immunity-Autoimmunity Flashcards
(99 cards)
Autoimmunity definition ??
Immune response against self antigens due to loss of self tolerance in B & T cells or both
Guide-404
Autoimmune disease ?? Def
The D caused by autoimmunity are referred to as AID
404
Pernicious anemia organ ??
Gastric parietal cell
404
Hashimotos thyroiditis organ ??
Thyroid gland
404
Myasthenia gravis D organ >??
Muscle
e
Autoimmune haemolytic anemia organ ??
Erythrocytes
404
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura organ ??
Platelets
404
SLE organ ??
Multi system
404
Rheumatic fever organ ??
Joints & heart valves
Rheumatoid arthritis organ ??
Joints and organs
Mechanism of autoimmunity 4 point ??
- Molecular mimicry
2.Epitope spreading
3.Failure of Treg
4.NeoAntigens
405
Molecular mimicry - Tell in your own word ??
- AA sequence of Self Atg = AA sequence of Microbes Atg
- Immune response against microbes Atg
- Activation of self reactive lymphocytes
404
Example of Molecular mimicry ??
- GBS
- Reiters syndrome
- Rheumatic heart D
405
Reiters syndrome microbes ??
- Shigella
- Chlamydia
405
Guillain Barre syndrome microbes ??
- Campylobacter
405
RHD mecha ?/
AB againts streptococcus M protein cross react with myocardial protein
End result of RHD ??
Myocarditis
405
Myasthenia gravis D receptor associated with ??
Ach receptor
Graves disease receptor ?/
TSH r
Rheumatoid arthritis R ??
IgG in joints
405
Goodpostures syndrome ??
Basement membrane of kidney & lung
405
SLE r ??
dsDNA & Histone
405
Epitope spreading mecha in your own word ??
- Damage to cells
- Damage caused by - Viral bacterial infections
- New exposure of sequestered autoAtg
newly exposed autoAtg == stimulate autoreactive t cell = autoimmune disease
405
405
D associated with ES ??
- SLE
- MS
- Pemphigus vulgaris
- IBD
- Crohns D
- Ulcerative colitis
