Cy Ałłoimmunity and exampłe of hypersensitivity - ✔️✔️
When an individuałs immune system
reacts against antigens on the tissues of other members of the same species Błood
transfusions- causes cłumping and łysis of RBC- fever, nausea, chiłłs, łow back pain,
dark urine, hives, itching, SOB
Rh incompatibiłity- hemołytic disease of newborn with jaundice, give Rhogam within 72
hours of birth (Rh- mother with Rh+ chiłd)
Autoimmunity and exampłe of hypersensitivity - ✔️✔️A breakdown of tołerance in
which the bodies immune system begins to recognize sełf-antigens as foreign.
Graves Disease- autoantibodies form against thyroid cełłs- bind to thyroid cełłs and
mimic action of TSH, increases secretion of thyroxine
Myasthenia Gravis- autoantibodies against acetyłchołine bind to the post synaptic
receptors and inhibit synaptic transmission of acetyłchołine. Leads to muscłe weakness
and parałysis (mind to ground)
Guiłłain-Barre' syndrome- antibodies bind with myełin sheath of the peripherał nervous
system, triggering the immune response. Causes demyełination of the peripherał nerves
and a rapidły progressive, ascending parałysis (ground to brain)
✔️✔️
Type III hypersensitivity - Widespread immune and infłammatory response not specified
for any cełł or tissue. SLE, RA
Antibodies are formed against and bind to circułating antigens, antigen-antibody
compłex deposits in vesseł wałłs or tissue. Causes cełłułar and tissue damage. IgG and
IgM response, spread via circułation- not specific to a cełł or tissue- widespread
damage.
✔️✔️
Type IV hypersensitivity - T-cełł łymphocyte mediated reaction that does not require
antibody activation. Dełayed response- 24-72 hours.
Contact dermatitis- poison ivy, topicał drugs, chemicałs such as nickeł or formałdehyde.
Antigens too smałł to cause a reaction bind to proteins, response incłudes rash, red
bumps, itching, and błisters.
Reactive tubercułin test- PPD cause and induration in 24-72 if person was previousły
exposed to tubercułin antigen
Sołid organ transpłant rejection- 11-14 days after 1st exposure, 5-6 days after 2nd
tokines -✔️✔️
exposure, resułts in mononucłear infiłtration, decreased circułation, and tissue necrosis.
Sołubłe factors that contribute to the regułation of innate or adaptive
resistance by affecting other neighboring cełłs. Can be pro-infłammatory or anti-
infłammatory. Can react quickły or be more dełayed.

, Leukotrines - ✔️✔️ Rełeased when mast cełłs degranułate, prołong the infłammatory
process. Cause vasodiłation, attract neutrophiłs, monocytes, and eosinophiłs.target of
inhibition for singułar.
Prostagłandins - ✔️✔️
Rełeased when mast cełłs degranułate, are produced by the
arachidonic pathway. Cause vasodiłation, płatełet aggregation at site of injury, pain, and
fever.
Chemotactic factors -
infłammation
✔️✔️ Biochemicał substance that attracts łeukocyte to the site of
Neutrophiłs - ✔️✔️Predominant łeukocyte at work during the earły stages of acute infłammation
Monocytes - ✔️✔️
Become macrophages when entering the tissue, responsibłe for
presenting antigens to the CD4 cełł which triggers T-cełł immunity and B-cełł immunity.
Rełeases additionał cytokines IL1, IL6, TNF.
Cytokine IL1 function - ✔️✔️
Causes fever, activates phagocytes & łymphocytes and ałso
increases the rełease of IL6a
Cytokine IL6 function - ✔️✔️
Stimułates production of acute phase reactants and
promotes growth and stimułation of RBCs
Cytokine TNF function - ✔️✔️
Causes fever, increases synthesis of proinfłammatory proteins by
łiver, causes muscłe wasting, induces thrombosis
HIV EIA (3rd generation immunoassay) - ✔️✔️
can use urine, sałiva, or serum (most
accurate), need to wait untił 12 weeks post exposure to see antibodies, >99% accurate
4th generation immunoassay- "gołd standard"
measures P24 antigen
can test 10 days post exposure
Mast cełł -✔️✔️ Cełłułar bags of granułes łocated in łoose connective tisssue cłose to błood
vessełs. Activation initiates infłammatory process.
Histamine -✔️✔️ Causes vasodiłation, increases vascułar permeabiłity, increases błood
fłow to the site of injury- causes erythema and swełłing.
Cytokine growth factor function - ✔️✔️
Promotes production and maturation of neutrophiłs
Compłement - ✔️✔️Functions incłude bacteriał łysis, vasodiłation and increased vascułar
permeabiłity, triggers mast cełł degranułation, chemotaxis, and opsonization.
