Immunodeficiency disorders & neoplasias of the lymphoid system

QuestionAnswer
Which immunodeficiency is this: hereditary or acquired, may involve abnormal cytokine/chemokine receptors, T-cell mediated, B-cell mediated, B&T cell mediated, nonspecific mediation by phagocytes/NK cells, complement activated primary immunodeficiency
which immunodeficiency is this: result of other conditions/diseases/infections (malnutrition, chemotherapy side effect, untreated autoimmunity, HIV or other viruses) secondary immunodeficiency
DiGeorge Syndrome is which type of immunodeficiency? Primary
SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency) is which type of immunodeficiency? primary
Frequency of primary immunodeficiency is _____ within the population. Usually due to a problem in ___________ __________ ____. rare, development of immune cells
The earlier primary immunodeficiency occurs, the _____ severe the impact on immune response but ________ opportunity for redundancy more, reduces
secondary immunodeficiencies can also occur by the introduction of __________ drugs used in transplantation. immunosuppressive
what are two causes of SCID? X-linked: missing gamma chain(cytokine receptors ) Autosomal: missing JAK3 tyrosine kinase
What causes bare lymphocyte syndrome? missing MHC classII
what causes ALPS (autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome)? missing Fas (cell membrane determinants)
what causes Hyper IgM syndrome? missing CD40L (cell membrane determinants)
what is the other name of Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)? Bridges-Good syndrome
CGD is a diverse group of hereditary diseases in which phagocytes have difficulty forming the _______ ______ ________ used to kill ingested pathogens by repiratory burst and oxidation. reactive oxygen compounds
Because CGD patients' phagocytes cannot kill ingested pathogens by oxidation, it leads to the formation of _________ in many organs. granuloma
CGD affects about 1 in __________people in the USA. 20,0000
_________ ________ is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that arises from microtubule polymerization defect in the cytoskelton which leads to decrease in _________ _________. Chediak-Higashi syndrome, phagocytosis ability
What are 3 phases of HIV infection? acute phase, chronic(latent)phase, crisis phase
At initial infection of HIV, __________ decrease CD4+T cells
At initial infection of HIV, CD4+T cells _________ because infected T cells are more prone to lysis(apoptosis) by CTLs(cytotoxic T lymphosites). decrease
During many years of Chronic(latent) phase of HIV infection, what factors lead patients to crucial immunodeficiency level? gradual decline of CD4+T cells with low level of viral replication
At chronic phase of HIV infection, most of the infected cells are localized to ______ ______. lymph nodes
Healthy individuals have CD4+:CD8+ T cells ratio of ________. 2:1
At chronic phase of HIV infection, which T cells, CD4+T or CD8+T, outnumber which T cell? CD8+T cells outnumber CD4+T cells
At crisis phase of HIV infection, CD4+T cell count drops below ______ cells/uL or less than _____ % of T cell population. 200, 14
At crisis phase of HIV infection, the patient develop unusual _______, _________, __________. malignancies, opportunistic infections, general debilitating syndromes(immune system and CNS dysfunction)
what is called abnormal cell proliferation? neoplasias
Neoplasias is uncontrolled _______ proliferation that can be related to their normal cell counterparts by surface markers and stage of differentiation. monoclonal
Many neoplasias have ______ _______ causing disregulation of cell proliferation and death. chromosomal translocations
What is this disease: malignant cells of the circulatory system, proliferation of immature WBCs ? leukemias
