immunology quiz 4 - CLLS-316
Question | Answer |
---|---|
ASO | individual test for anti-streptolysin O, neutralization procedure |
Streptolyzyme kit | tests for anti-streptolysin O, anti-DNASE, anti-hyaluronidise, & anti-streptokinase |
HIV types of testing | western blot, Gp24 antigen test, CD4 Tcells, viral load testing |
Streptococcal testing | ASO and Streptozyme |
Western blot | gold standard/confirmation |
Gp24 antigen testing | donors |
Epstein Barr | Paul Bunnell, heterophile antibody, Anti-VCA, EA, EBNA |
Autoimmune diseases | occur from breakdown of Self-tolerance maybe systematic or organ specific |
SLE - Systemic lupus erythematosus | antibody=anti-DNA-many type systemic disease of chronic inflammation alternating exacerbations and remissions Diagnostic - butterfly rash, LE cells ANA test, FANA test - basic principle |
RA - Rheumatoid Arthritis | antibody= IgM against Fc portion of IgG - IgM/IgG complexes degenerative joint disease - systemic lab testing - Latex agglutination for Rheumatoid factor |
MG - Myasthenia Gravis | neuromuscular, antibody to ACH receptors causes fatigue of skeletal muscles |
MS - Multiple Sclerosis | T cells attack myelin, B cells produce anti-myelin antibodies demyelating disease of CNS lab testing - IgG index, Immunologic tests for anti-myelin antibodies |
Grave's disease | TSI - Thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin "bulging eyes",diffuse goiter,hyperthyroidism |
Hashimoto's disease | antithyroglobulin antibodies, hypothyroidism, goiter |
Type I diabetes mellitus | Islet antibodies - against Beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas Cause lack of insulin production and hyperglycemia might be triggered by Coxsackie virus |
Hypersensitivity | has 2 phases Sensitization and Effector and has 4 types |
Sensitization | first exposure, exposure to small amount of antigen |
effector | second exposure to antigen |
Type I (Atopic & Anaphylactic)Hypersensitivity | IgE mediated, mast cells release granules, anaphalaxis, Wheal and Flare reaction, Lab tests - RAST, in vivo skin tests |
Type II (cytotoxic)Hypersensitivity | IgG or IgM mediated, activates complement, hemolytic reactions - transfusion,HDN, autoimmune Lab testing - DAT |
Type III (immune complex)Hypersensitivity | IgG or IgM mediated, activates complement, soluble antigen, arthus, serum sickness Lab tests - latex agglutination, fluorescent staining |
Type IV (T cell dependent)Hypersensitivity | delayed hypersensitivity, immunoglobulin and complement not involved, T-cells and macrophages mediate, PPD test - mantoux skin test |
Immunoproliferative diseases | defect in regulation - malignancies - lymphoma, leukemia, multiple myeloma, Waldenstroms |
Immunodeficiencies | Neutrophillic defects - CGD - oxygen deficient for killing -NBT test Leukocyte Adhesion - CD 11 and CD 18 proteins |
Goodpasture's syndrome | noncollagenous protein in basement membranes of kidney glomeruli and lung alveoli. complement & Fc receptor-mediated inflammation. Nephritis, lung hemorrhages. |
Pernicious anemia | Neutralization of intrinsic factor, decreased absorption of vitamin B12. Abnormal erythropoiesis, anemia |
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia | opsonization & phagocytosis of erythrocytes, hemolysis and anemia |
Autoimmune(Idiopathic) thrombocytopenic purpura | opsonization & phagocytosis of platelets, bleeding. |
pemphigus vulgaris | antibody-mediated activation of proteases, disruption of intercellular adhesions, skin vesicles (bullae) |
NBT - nitroblue tetrazoliun | the dye that neutrophil's reduce. How to diagnose CGD. |
malignancy | excess accumulation of cells, failure to regulate, chromosome mutations. |
Lymphocyte malignancies | lymphomas and leukemias |
Lymphoma | Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkins |
Leukemia | acute and chronic |
Hodgkin's Lymphoma | presence of Reed Sternberg cells, highly treatable, often curable, young adults & elderly |
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma | B cell lymphoma (85%), T cell lymphomas |
ALL - Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia | poorly differentiated precursor cells (blast), can be divided in types T cell, B cell, non T/non B cell |
CLL - Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Lymphoma | almost exclusively B cell origin, CLL, PLL, HCL |
Plasma Cellulinemia Malignancies | Multiple Myeloma, Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia |
Multiple Myeloma | malignancy of mature plasma cells, produce paraproteins |
Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia | malignant proliferation of IgM-producing lymphocytes, produce paraproteins |
Hep A Serology | RNA virus- Picornovirus, oral-fecal, presence of IgM antibodies(acute), most often detected by ELISA |
