Here is what Step 1 covers- did we get them all? • Production/function granulocyte, NK cells and macrophages/DC • Production/function of T cells, TCR, cytokines/chemokines • Production/function of B cells and PC, Ig structure, classes, molecular basis for specificity, receptors • Antigenicity/immunogenicity, host defenses(read Innate I), primary/secondary responses, passive transfer of immunity(all ways) • In vitro complement, other diagnostic tests and antigen antibody reactions • Mediators, complement, aa, histamine, NO and cytokines • MHC structure and function, RBC antigens. Transplantation • Vaccines, protective immunity, tumor immunity • Disease states like ID, HIV and pharmacological immunosuppression
INNATE IMMUNITY • NOT ANTIGEN SPECIFIC • HAS NO MEMORY • MEDIATED BY • NEUTROPHILS • MACROPHAGES/MONOCYTES • NATURAL KILLER CELLS • EOSINOPHILS • BASOPHILS/MAST CELLS • MANNOSE BINDING PROTEIN AND COMPLEMENT • PROSTAGLANDIN & KININ SYSTEMS INDISCRIMINATE DESTRUCTION
ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY • ANTIGEN SPECIFIC • CLONAL EXPANSION • AMPLIFIES AN IMMUNE RESPONSE AFTER A SPECIFIC RECEPTOR INTERACTION • INTEGRATES THE INNATE RESPONSE INTO THE REACTION • MEMORY OF THE ENCOUNTER
COMPLEMENT • FLUID PHASE AMPLIFIER OF INNATE AND ANTIBODY MEDIATED RESPONSES • THREE ARMS • ALTERNATE-BACTERIAL CELL WALLS • MANNOSE BINDING-BACTERIAL CELL WALLS and MBP • DIRECT(CLASSIC)-SPECIFIC Ag/Ab REACTIONS
COMPLEMENT • ENZYME ACTIVATED CASCADE WITH GENERATION OF INFLAMMATORY AND REGULATORY FRAGMENTS • ACTIVATES INFLAMMATORY CELLS BY SPECIFIC RECEPTOR INTERACTIONS • HAS IMPORTANT IMMUNOREGULATORY AND IMMUNE COMPLEX DISPOSAL ROLES • Measured by serum C3 and C4, total hemolysis and individual components
COMPLEMENT-RELATED DISEASES • Rare • C1esterase deficiency with angioneurotic edema- • Deficiencies in the direct sequence associated with IC diseases like SLE • Homozygous C3 is lethal • Deficiencies in the alternate path very rare • Individual component deficiency after C5 associated with Neisserial bacteremia
QUESTIONS • From stem cell to T cell • why the thymus • CD4 versus CD8 • gamma delts versus alpha bets • peripheral blood • CDs to remember………. • 3,4,8,25,19,16,20,
MORE CYTOKINES TO REMEMBER Il-12, INF- and IL-2 =TH1 response IL-4 =TH2 response & antibody formation IL-10, IL- 4 = suppression of Th1 INF- = suppression of TH2 IL-8 = neutrophils IL-5= eosinophils TGF- = healing IL-6 = fever and cachexia TNF- =inflammation (RA),sepsis and SIRS, monoclonals available to inhibit some syndromes
MHC • Co-dominant alleles • Present on Chromosome 6 in humans • A,B,C loci are Class I • D loci are class II and control immune responses and rejection
TRANSPLANT TYPES • Autograft • Isograft • Allograft (also known as Homograft) • Xenograft
IMMUNOSUPPRESSION • Corticosteroids-inhibit NFB • Cyclosporine-inhibit T-cell activation • Tacrolimus- inhibit T-cell activation • Rapamycin- block IL-2 receptor activation • Anti-cytokine/ligand monoclonals
PREDICT THE TYPE OF INFECTION • Pure B cell…encapsulated bacteria and systemic spread of GI viruses..frequent after 6 mos of age • “pure” T cell….TB, fungi, pneumocystis since helper function is lost…occurs at birth. B cell infections will not occur until maternal antibody gone-approx 6 mos • B & T cell..at birth, severe and fatal if not transplanted • CGD –neutrophil inability to kill bacterial that produce catalase..esp staph • cytokine..IL-12, Interferon gamma, IL-4
DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH T-CELL DEFICIENCY • HIV/AIDS • THYMIC APLASIA • SENESCENCE • BIRTH • WISKOTT-ALDRICH • ATAXIA-TELANGIECTASIA • TREATMENT
DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH B-CELL DEFICIENCY • X-LINKED AGAMMAGLOBULINEMIA • COMMON VARIABLE IMMUNODEFICIENCY • SELECTIVE IgA DEFICIENCY • CLL • HYPER IgM SYNDROME • TREATMENT
DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH T & B CELL DEFICIENCY • SCID • THERAPY: • STEM CELL TRANSPLANTS • BMT • GENE REPLACEMENT- recent problems with the retroviral vector insertion has led to leukemia
TESTING IMMUNE FUNCTION • B-CELLS • SERUM IG LEVELS • ELECTROPHORECTIC DETECTION OF CLONALITY • ENUMERATION OF B-CELLS • DETECTION OF SPECIFIC ANTIBODIES • IMMUNOHISTOPATHOLOGIC
TESTING IMMUNE FUNCTION • T-CELLS • IN VIVO SKIN TESTING- will not be valid in patients with malnutrition, on steroids etc • ENUMERATION OF T-CELLS-can be misleading because doesn’t reflect tissue distribution • IMMUNOHISTOPATHOLOGIC • IN VITRO FUNCTIONS- rarely needed
HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS • TYPE I- Atopy, asthma & anaphylaxis • TYPE II-Antibody to cell structures-immune thrombocytopenia, AIHA • TYPE III- Immune complex diseases-SLE is prototype • TYPE IV- Delayed hypersensitivity-sarcoidosis
Asthma • Limited early exposure to infections-so-called hygiene hypothesis • Obesity • Genes • Maternal 11 for IgE increase • T-bet gene abnormalitiesfor deficient INF- • IL-13
AUTOANTOBODIES • SLE- • ANA is a SCREENING TEST ONLY(HIGH SENSITIVITY, LOW SPECIFICITY) • double stranded(ds/native) DNA correlates loosely with renal disease, very specific • Sm very specific for SLE-low sensitivity • Histone- present in drug induced lupus but also SLE and other diseases • Ribonucleoprotein (RNP)- associated with mixed connective tissue disease
AUTOANTOBODIES • ANCA • cANCA high specificity for Wegeners Granulomatosus • pANCA found in some glomerulonephritis, microscopic vasculitis and other vasculitis Polymyositis/Dermatomyositis……anti-JO-1 SS-A(Ro)/SS-B(La)- Sjogren syndrome, congenital heart block
MORE AUTOANTIBODIES • Scleroderma • SCL-70( aka anti-topoisomerase) specific but very low sensitivity • Centromere-high sensitivity for CREST(limited scleroderma) and codes for presence of pulmonary hypertension
Other Autoantibodies to remember • AntiAcR- myasthenia • Anti-endomysial- Sprue (anti gliadin) • Rheumatoid factor- not specific for RA
Acute Phase reactants • C-reactive Protein- • Most accurate indicator of an inflammatory reaction • Proxy for IL-6 • May correlate independently of Lipids for CA • High likelihood something about CRP will be on Boards!..especially as independent indicator of coronary artery disease Transferrin, ceruloplasmin, C3, haptoglobin increase with infection, albumin and hemoglobin decrease
