Lecture 5
hypersensitivity and introduction to immunopharmacology
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Innate | directly activated by pathogens; defends multicellular organisms against infection |
adaptive | pathogens and innate IS activated |
Innate IS | first line of defense against invading pathogens --> quick response |
Innate IS | exists prior to infection, not enhanced by repeated infection, generally not antigen-specific --> no memory, responds to pathogen in same way |
Innate IS | consists of the following components: mechanical (skin/epidermis, mucus), biochemical (antimicrobial peptides, proteins, complement, enzymes, interferons, acidic pH, free radicals), cellular (neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, nk cells) |
Adaptive IR | lymphocytes carry out both classes of responses |
Adaptive IR | antibody-mediated (humoral immunity) = B cells secrete antibodies (Ig) that neutralize the virus |
Adaptive IR | cell-mediated = T cells kill the virus-infected cells |
Adaptive IS | activated from innate response when innate processes not sufficiently coping with infection; leads to: production of antibodies -- effectors of humoral immunity; activation of T lymphocytes --effectors of cell-mediated immunity |
Adaptive IS | may involve antigen-presenting cells (APCs), including dendritic cells (CDs), macrophages, and B lymphocytes |
hypersensitivity | inappropriate immune responses can lead to extensive tissue damage |
Autoimmunity | reactivity against self antigens |
Immunodeficiency | failure of immune system to protect the body adequately from infection due to absence or insufficiency of some component process or substance |
Antigen | a toxin or other foreign substance which induces an immune response in the body, especially the production of antibodies |
Antibodies | compounds of protein and sugars circulating in blood stream created by the immune system to fight germs and foreign substances |

Treatment of Type I Hypersensitivity: glucocorticoids | no acute role in treatment of anaphylaxis b/c of delay in onset of action; rationale for use --> decrease biphasic and protracted reactions that may happen in anaphylaxis |
