Question
Answer
cytokines   soluble proteins secreted by lymphocytes, monocytes-macrophages, and NK cells, as well as other cell types; are similar to dendritic cells of lymphoid tissue in that they express HLA class II antigens and are antigen presenting cells  
🗑
IL-1   from monocytes, macrophages; stimulates T cell proliferation and IL-2 production  
🗑
IL-2   macrophages, T cells and NK cells; stimulates proliferation of T cells, B cells, and NK cells; activates monocytes  
🗑
IL-3   T cells; acts as growth factor for tissue mast cells and hematopoietic stem cells  
🗑
IL-4   T cells; promotes growth of B cells and T cells; enhances expression of HLA class II antigens  
🗑
IL-5   T cells; promotes end stage maturation of B cells into plasma cells  
🗑
IL-6   T cells, monocytes; promotes maturation of B and T cells; inhibits growth of fibroblasts  
🗑
IFN ALpha   B cells and macrophages; has antiviral activity  
🗑
IFN beta   fibroblasts; has antiviral activity  
🗑
IFN gamma   T cells and NK cells; has antiviral activity; activates macrophages; enhances expression of HLA class II antigens  
🗑
TNF alpha   macrophages, T cells, and NK cells; stimulates T cell proliferation and IL-2 production; cytotoxic to some tumor cells  
🗑
TNF beta   T cells; stimulates T cell proliferation and IL-2 production; cytotoxic to some tumor cells  
🗑
Type 1 hypersensitivity   antigen reacts with IgE bound to surface of basophils or tissue mast cells, causing degranulation with release of histamine and other substances, many of which are vasoactive, smooth muscle spasm-inducing, or chemotactic  
🗑
Type 1 hypersensitivity   hay fever; allergic asthma; hives; anaphylactic shock  
🗑
type 2 hypersensitivity   antibodies react with antigens that are intrinsic components of cell membrane or other structures, such as basement membranes, resulting in direct damage, compliment mediated cytotoxicity; also may be caused by inactivation of cell-surface receptors by an  
🗑
type 2 hypersensitivity   warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia;hemolytic disease of the newborn; goodpasture syndrome; graves disease  
🗑
type 3 hypersensitivity   insoluble complement-bound aggregates of antigen-antibody complexes are deposited in vessel walls or on serosal surfaces or other extravascular sites; neutrophils are chemotactically attracted and release lysosomal enzymes, prostaglandins, kinins  
🗑
type 3 hypersensitivity   serum sickness; arthrus reaction; polyarteritis nodosa; SLE; immune complex mediated glomerular disease  
🗑
type 4 hypersensitivity   delayed hypersensitivity; proliferation of antigen specific CD 4+ memory T cells, with secretion of IL-2 and other sytokines, which in turn recruit and stimulate phagocytosic macrophages; may also involve cytotoxic CD 8+ T lymphocyte killing of spec cells  
🗑
hyperacute rejection   is primarily antibody-mediated and occurs in the presesnce of preexisting antibody to donor antigens  
🗑
hperacute rejection   most often occurs within minutes; is a localized Arthrus reaction marked by acute inflammation, fibronoid necrosis of small vessels, and extensive thrombosis  
🗑
acute rejection   primarily T cell mediated, generally occurs days to months after transplantation, characterized by infiltration of lymphocytes and macrophages  
🗑
chronic rejection   is primarily caused by antibody-mediated vascular damage  
🗑
chronic rejection   may occur months to years after an otherwise successful transplantation, characterized histologically by marked vascular fibroininal proliferation, often reuslting in a small, scarred kidney  
🗑
graft-vs-host   is significant problem in bone marrow transplantation, can also be caused by whole blood transfusion in patients with SCID, characterized by rejection of foreign host cells by engurafted T and B cells  
🗑
SLE   marked by the presence of a spectrum of ANAs and by extensive immune complex mediated inflammatory lesions  
🗑
SLE   fever, malaise, butterfly rash, lymphadenopathy, joint symptoms,reynaud phenomenon, serosal inflammation, interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, endocarditis, glomerular changes  
🗑


   

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.
