Hemochromatosis
HLA B27
psoriasis, ankylosin spondylitis, IBD, Reiter’s syndrome
HLA DQ2/DQ8
Celiac disease
HLA DR2
MS, hay fever, SLE, Goodpasture’s
HLA DR3
DM-I, Grave’s
HLA DR4
RA, DM-I
HLA DR5
Pernicious anemia, Hashimoto’s
IL-1
Mphage. Pyrogen. Endothelium upregulates adhesion molecules. Induces chemokine secretion
IL-6
Mphage. Pyrogen. Also TH2. stimulates produciton of acute phase reactants
IL-8
Mphage. Chemotactic factor for neutrophils
IL-12
Mphage. Induces TH1. Activates NK. Also secreted by Bcells
TNF-alpha
Mphage. Mediates vascular leak (septic shock). Recruites leukocytes.
IL-2
T-cels. CD4, CD8 and CD4/CD25 growth
IL-3
T-cells. Works like GM-CSF
IFN-gamma
TH1. Supresses TH2. Antiviral/antitumor
IL-4
TH2. Induces TH2 differentiation. Promotes Bcells. Class switch to IgE and IgG
IL-5
TH2. Promotes differentiation of B cells. Class switch to IgA. Stimulates eosinophils
IL-10
TH2. Modulates inflammation. Inhibits activated Tcells. Secreted by CD4/CD25s. Similar to TGF-B
B-cell markers
CD19, CD20, CD21 (EBV receptor), CD40, MHC II, B7
Mphage markers
CD14 (endotoxin receptor), CD40, MHC II, B7, Fc and C3b receptors (enhanced phagocytosis)
NK cells
CD16 (binds Fc of IgG), CD56 (unique to NK)
Antigen variation of salmonella
2 flagelar variants
Antigen variation of Borrelia
relapsing fever (surface antigen switch)
Antigen variation of N. gonorrhea
pilus protein
Antigen variation of influenza (orthomyxiviridae)
antigenic drift and shift
Antigen variation of trypanosomes
programmed rearangement

Tetanus, Botulinum, HBV, and Rabies
Name some live attenuated vaccines
Measles, mumps (paramyxoviruses), polio (picornavirus), rubella (togavirus), varicella (herpesvirus), yellow fever (flavivirus)
Name some inactivated (killed) vaccines
Cholera (GNcomma-shaped,, oxidase+, alkaline media), HAV (picornavirus), polio (picornavirus), rabies (rhabdovirus)
ANA
SLE, nonspecific
Anti-dsDNA, anti-Smith
SLE
Antihistone
Drug-induced lupus
