Question
Answer
a molecule that can interact with the immune system   antigen  
🗑
peptides produced by B lymphocytes that attach to foreign material and aid in removing it from the body   antibody  
🗑
cells that display foreign antigen complexed with MHC on its surface.   antigen presenting cell  
🗑
these genes are expressed on the surface of cells in all jawed vertebrates, and display fragments of molecules from invading microbes or dysfunctional cells   major histocompatibility complex MHC  
🗑
are encoded by the MHC genes   Human Leukocyte Antigens HLA  
🗑
circulation peptides that influence behavior of the immune system (IL-2)   cytokines  
🗑
a protein complex of T lymphocytes that can identify MHC molecules   T-Cell Receptor  
🗑
interact with APC MHC II molecules via the TCR release cytokines (primarily IL-2)   CD4 lymphocyte  
🗑
interact with MHC class I molcules (that contain foreign peptides) and can directly kill the foreign cell   CD8 T lymphocyte  
🗑
of the same species   allogenic  
🗑
a test for determining tissue compatibility between a transplant donor and the recipient before transplantation, in which the recipient's serum is tested for antibodies that may react with the lymphocytes or other cells of the donor   crossmatch  
🗑
the preexisting antibodies against HLA antigens in the serum of a potential allograft recipient that reacts with a specific antigen in a panel of leukocytes, with a higher percentage indicating a higher risk of a positive crossmatch (listed as % antib)   panel reactive antibodies PRA  
🗑
a state of immune acceptance without immunosuppression   tolerance  
🗑
MHC I goes with __   CD8 T cells (8/1=8)  
🗑
MHC II goes with __   CD4 T cells (8/2=4)  
🗑
what are the 2 allogenic recognition pathways   direct and indirect  
🗑
T-cells and their receptors identify allogeneic MHC molecules. This generates CD8 T cells which causes attack on an organ and therefore rejection   direct allogenic recognition pathway  
🗑
antilymphocyte antibodies used to prevent rejection until maintenance suppression is therapeutic   induction immunosuppression  
🗑
the important cytokine to remember from the transplant lecture   IL-2  
🗑
drugs that end in "-mab" are __   monoclonal antibodies  
🗑
when a transplanted organ is placed in its normal anatomic location in the recipient   orthograft  
🗑
when a transplanted organ is placed in an area that is not its normal anatomic location in the recipient   heterograft  
🗑
major cause of increased demand for organs   hepatitis C  
🗑
antigen presenting cell APC   a cell that displays foreign antigen complesed with MHC on its surface, which is then recognized by t-cell receptors on T cells  
🗑
major histocompatibility complex MHC   genes expressed on the surface of cells in all jawed vertebrates and display fragments of foreign molecules to T cells  
🗑
define cross match   a test for determining tissue compatibility between a transplant donor and the recipient before transplantation, in which the recipient's serum is tested for antibodies that may react with the lymphocytes or other cells of the donor  
🗑
which cytokine is responsible for the majority of immune cell activation   interleukin 2 IL-2  
🗑
immediate killing of a transplanted organ occuring in patients with preformed antibodies to the donor in the bloodstream   hyperacute rejection  
🗑
rejection of the transplanted organ occurring between 5-90 days due to the infiltration of the recipient's immune system into the donor organ   acute rejection  
🗑
chronic allograft vasculopathy due to development of atherosclerosis   chronic rejection  
🗑
antilymphocyte antibodies used to prevent rejection during first few days after TP   induction immunosuppression  
🗑
maintenance immunosuppression   long term therapy with two or three drugs  
🗑
treatment of acute rejection   steroids and antilymphocyte preparations given over period of several days  
🗑
most important side effect of cyclosporine   nephrotoxicity  
🗑
most important complication of immunosuppression   opportunistic infection  
🗑
how are donor organs transported   hypothermic storage with UW solution  
🗑
why is the left kidney preferred in renal transplant   the renal vein is longer on the left side  
🗑
what lab value is used to evaluate success of liver transplant   PT/INR  
🗑
what lab value is used to evaluat the success of pancreatic transplant   glucose  
🗑
1-year survival rate following liver transplant   85%  
🗑
1-year survival rate following heart transplant   80%  
🗑
1-year survival rate following lung transplant   70%  
🗑
what imaging modality is used to evaluate liver and kidney anastomoses post-operatively   ultrasound  
🗑
what consideration must be made regarding pancreas transplant   risk of diabetic complications vs complications of lifelong immunosuppression therapy  
🗑
what clinical sign is associated with acute heart transplant rejection   tachycardia  
🗑
approach to the patient 3 hours post renal transplant who stops making urine   flush foley cath, assess fluid status(give 500cc crystalloid LR or NS), ultrasound to assess renal artery/vein patency, return to OR  
🗑
why must you be overly concerned for infectious processes in patients s/p organ transplant   immunosuppression therapy results in a blunted inflammatory response and thus, the patient will no present with typical symptoms  
🗑
fever threshold in immunocompetent   38.5 C  
🗑
fever threshold in immunocompromised   38.0 C  
🗑
what are patients s/p lung transplant at greatest risk for   infection secondary to aspiration  
🗑
