Question
Answer
immunosuppressives   drugs that work by downregulating immune system activity  
🗑
promoters of tolerance   treatments that teach the body not to reject something  
🗑
immunostimulants   drugs that upregulate immune system activity  
🗑
immunizations   drugs that work either actively or passively to infections or neoplasia  
🗑
when are immunosuppressives used   when the immune system is over active or to prevent transplant rejection  
🗑
most common immunosuppressive drug   glucocorticoids.  
🗑
how do glucocorticoids work   modifying gene expression and inducing appoptosis. down reg proinflam cytokines  
🗑
effect of glucocorticoids at high doses   non- genomic effects b/c receptor saturation. enzyme inhibition, membrane changes, calcium changes. detrimental  
🗑
how does calcineurin work   activates T cells by dephos TF (NFAT). increased cyto Ca. changes in gene expression. Increase in IL-2. Block T cell prolif.  
🗑
how does mTOR work   blocks T cell prolif by inhibiting expression of pro-inflamm cyto and blocking action. anti cancer effects  
🗑
how does mycophenolate work   inhibits inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase found in lymphocytes. prevents guanosine prod. Blocks B and T cell activation. promotes apop.  
🗑
anti-metabolites   drugs that mimic normal cellular metabolites.  
🗑
how do anti-metabolites work   incorporated into DNA/RNA. lead to polymerase inhibition, DNA/RNA strand breaks/  
🗑
how does Azathioprine work   mimics guanine and inhibits purine syn. incorporated into DNA.  
🗑
how does methotrexate work   inhibits dihydrofolate reductase. blocks folate production. results in inhibition of T cell activation, down reg B cells, lymphocyte pro-death signals  
🗑
how does cyclophosphamide work   by forming covalent bonds with cellular structures. interferes w/ DNA/RNA rep. results in apop.  
🗑
only monoclonal AB for vet use   ANTI-CD-52  
🗑
ANTI-CD-52 function   found on all mature lymphocytes. binding induces apop, ADCC, phagocytosis, complement mediated cytosis  
🗑
ex of active immune stimulant   IL-2  
🗑
ex of passive immune stimulant   IgG infusion in foal w/ FPT  
🗑
ex of specific immune stimulant   antigen sp. vaccines  
🗑
ex of non specific immune stimulant   mitogens (bacterial DNA). Acemannan  
🗑
in flow cytometry cells are initially ID according to what   size (forward scatter) and granularity (side scatter)  
🗑
CD21 and CD79 are found on what cell type   B cells  
🗑
CD3 is found on what cell type   All T cells  
🗑
CD4 is found on what cell type   Helper T cells  
🗑
CD8 is found on what cell type   cytotoxic T cells  
🗑
CD34 is found on what cell type   bone marrow derived cells  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
