Semester 3Microbiology & ImmunologyAutoimmunity and Transplantation Basic Autoimmunity:Responses to Self Antigensand Self-Tolerance & Its Loss Nicholas R. Sinclair, MD PhD February 13, 2002 - 9:00am
Learning Objectives forBasic Autoimmunity • Discuss autoimmune disease in terms of organ specificity • Relate clinical autoimmune disease to types of hypersensitivity states • Discuss immunopathogenesis of autoimmune disease • Discuss the genetic basis of clinical autoimmunity • Discuss the environmental triggers of clinical autoimmunity
Case 24Autoimmune Hemolytic AnemiaPeripheral B Cell Tolerance
Antibodies To Vascular Basement Membranes Cause Goodpasture’s Disease That Affects Renal Glomeruli and Lung Alveoli
Case 27PemphigusVulgarisCyclophosphamide and Active Intermediate
Type II Autoimmune DiseasesInclude Autoimmunity Against Cell Surface Receptors **
Mechanism For Thyrotoxicosis (Graves’ Disease or Exophthalmic Goiter) Is Anti-TSH Antibody
Antimicrosomal Antibody Staining in thyroid epithelial cells No staining in follicle colloid Antigen is thyroid peroxidase Seen in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
Anti-thyroglobulin Antibody Staining in follicle colloid No staining in thyroid epithelial cells
Autoimmune Colloid Goitre (Euthyroid - ‘cold’ nodules)
Euthyroid Nodular Goitre Inactive ‘cold’ nodule - flattened epithelial cells
Diffuse Hyperthyroid Picture Hyperactive thyroid tissue - infoldings of the hyperplastic epithelium Thyrotoxicosis - Grave’s Disease
Diffuse Hyperthyroid Picture Hyperactive thyroid tissue - infoldings of the hyperplastic epithelium scalloping (arrow) Thyrotoxicosis - Grave’s Disease
Evidence That A Circulating Antibody Can Cause Autoimmune Disease Involves Transfer Of Serum From Patient To An Animal
Circulating IgG Autoantibodies Can Cross Placenta To Affect Fetus
IgG Anti-TSH Antibodies Can Go From Mother To Fetus And Cause Graves’ Disease In Baby
