Organ and Tissue Transplantation, Lec 25
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Blood transfusion can lead to ___. | Severe blood loss |
| Solid organ transplant can lead to ____. | Replace failed organs: kidney, liver |
| Bone marrow transplant can lead to _____. | Leukemia, lymphoma, or sever immune deficiency |
| Lysis of transfused RBC happens because ____ | Recipeient Ab against mismatched ABO, Rh D Ag on donor RBC |
| Transplant rejection happens because _____ | recipient immune system attacks transplanted donor organ |
| Graft vs. Host disease happens because ______ | Immune cells from donor BM attack recipient tissues |
| What are 4 types of Graft transplants? | 1) Autograft 2) Syngeneic graft (isograft) 3) Allogenic graft (allograft) 4) Xenograft |
| _____ is a transplant of own tissues, so it induces no transplant rejection | Autograft |
| _____ is a transplant from an identical twin, so it induces no transplant rejection | Syngeneic graft (isograft) |
| _____ is a transplant from genetically different individuals, so it induces transplant rejection. Alloantigens are ____,so an _____ is when ____. | Allogeneic graft (allograft), Ags differ between members of the same species, Alloreactive response, an immune response against alloantigens. |
| What are 3 determinants that induce the alloreactive immune response? | ABO blood group (mismatch), MHC as alloantigens (mismatch), and Minor Histocompatiblitiy organs (mismatch) |
| If MHCs of donor and recip are mismatched, recipient ___ will react to donor _____ to dev T&B resp against the allograft. With _____ MHC match becomes less important. | T cells, allo-MHC molecules, immune suppressive drugs |
| Organ transplantation between MHC matching siblings will still be rejected because of ____ such as the ____ which is ____. Most are encoded by _____ chromosomes. | Minor histocompatibility antigens, H-Y antigen, not expressed in females so bro to sis organ transplantation is rejected, autosomal |
| In modern day blood , ____ are removed to reduce adverse immune responses and separated. ___ is used in case of sig blood loss, ____ are used to stop bleeding (internal and external), and ____ is used during loss of blood volume or proteins. | WBCs, RBC, Plts or blood clotting factors, Plasma |
| _____ to the mismatched major Blood type Ags will cause severe Type 2 hypersensitivity | Preexisting Abs |
| For _____, the recipient has Ab to bacterial components that are cross-reactive to the ABO Ag | ABO types |
| For _____ types, ____ is the main alloantigen. A - person could develop Ab after exposure during pregnancy and delivery with a + fetus. A + person will be tolerant to the alloantigen. | Rhesus (Rh), Rh D |
| T or F: an MHC match is not normally required during blood transfusion | True |
| T or F: patients with multiple blood transfusions may develop Ab responses to other polymorphic blood type Ags and experience Type 2 Hypersensitivity | True |
| What are two methods for reducing organ rejection? | Match the alloantigens (ABO, HLA) or use Immunosuppressive drugs |
| In the process of alloreactive immune response of organ transplants, _____ migrate out of the graft and enter 2ndary lymphoid tiss and present alloantigen to naive T cells. The ______ are activated and become effector T cells and destroy graft tissues | DC's in organ graft, recipient alloantigen specific T cells |
| T or F: transplanted organs are usually in an inflammatory state due to stress resulting in the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-1, etc) | True |
| In the DIRECT pathway of alloantigen recognition, ______ enter the recipient's lymphoid tissues to stimulate _____ against _____. This direct pathway is important in stimulating ______. | Allogeneic donor DC, recipient alloreactive T cells, Donor MHCs, alloreactive T cells and acute graft rejection |
| In the INDIRECT pathway of alloantigen recognition, recipient DCs phagocytose ______, process donor MHC/other alloAgs as ______, and present these peptides Ags to recipient naive T cells on ____. This pathway produces _____. | dead allogeneic donor DC or graft cell membrane components, Foreign Ags, recipient MHC molecules, alloantibodies |
| What are 2 types of preexisting Abs for hyperacute organ rejection? | 1) to ABO antigen due to ABO mismatch 2) to Allo-HLA class 1 or 2 due to pregnancy, prev blood transfusion or organ transplantation |
| To avoid hyperacute rejection in organ transplants, find a _____ or do a _____. | matching ABO type, cross-match test to test reactivity to donor HLA |
| the mechanism of acute organ rejection is similar to type ____ hypersensitivity. The alloreactive T cells are activated by the _____ pathway of allorecognition. The alloreactive T cell response will wean over time when _____. It can be prevented with ___. | 4, direct, donor DCs die out and inflammation subsides, immunosuppressive drugs |
| ______ occurs months or years after transplantation, activated through the ____ pathway of allorecognition. Activated donor HLA specific T cells activate its B cells to produce its abs called _____. Those in turn attack the ___ leading to organ failure | Chronic organ rejection, indirect, anti-graft HLA Ab, graft endothelial cells |
| What are two ways of reducing organ rejection? | HLA matching or immunosuppressive drugs |
| What are the important HLA's to match for organ transplantations? | HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DR |
| What organs are less important to match HLAs? | Corneal or liver |
| What organs are more important to match HLAs? | Bone Marrow or Skin |
| What are the 3 classes of immunosuppressive drugs? | 1) corticosteroids which suppress the immune response 2) Anti-proliferative drugs which block proliferation of activated lymphocytes 3) T cell activation inhibitor which selectively inhibit T cell responses |
| Corticosteroids _______ by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and also PROMOTE graft tolerant response. Side effects include ___. | reduce inflammation, infection hypertension metabolic changes and moon face |
| ____ is an anti-cell proliferation drug that interferes with purine synthesis/DNA synthesis. It blocks _____ but also increases risk to ______. | Azathioprine, proliferating cells, infection and cancer |
| ____ is a T cell activation inhibitor that inhibits _____ activation (key in T cell activation transduction pathway). Its similar drugs such as ____ greatly improves the survival of organ transplantation and need for perfect HLA matches. | Cyclosporine A, calcineurin, FK506 |
| T or F: Therapeutic Ab (monoclonal Ab) inhibit cell activation by blocking costimulatory molecules, deleting T/B cells, or modulate lymphocyte trafficking | True |
| The BM transplant process first needs 1)_____ where ______, then 2)_____ where ______. | Myeloablative therapy, cytotoxic drugs/irradiation destroy recipient HSC system to prevent graft rejection, Engraftment, donor pluripotent stem cells repopulate in recipient and produce mature RBCs |
| In BM transplant, the reconstituted recipient is a chimera with donor ____ and recipient ____. There must be at least a ____ for HLA molecules | immune cells, thymus epithelial cells, partial match |
| The Graft vs. Host reaction is where _____ in donor bone marrow are activated by alloreactivity HLA in recipient tissues. It can be induced by both ___and ____ antigens. FETAL GVHD is a result of inflamed tissues that are highly vulnerable to this rxn. | T cells, MHC, minor histocompatibility |
| What are the benefits of graft vs host response in BM transplantation? | it can reduce residual host lymphocytes and may attack residual tumor cells (allotreaction). ie Graft vs leukemia (GVL)or Graft vs tumor (GVT) response |
