QuestionAnswer
Lymph Node Organization Cortex Follicle: B Cells (Inactive & Germinal), Paracortex: T Cells, Medullary Sinus: Macrophages, Medullary Cords: Plasma Cells.
Lateral dorsal foot lymph drainage Popliteal nodes.
Lymph drainage of anal canal above & below pectinate line Internal Illiac, Superficial inguinal
Upper limb & lateral breast lymph drainage Axillary Nodes
Spleen Sinusoid Organization Arteriole -> White Pulp PeriArterial Lymphatic Sheath (T Cells) -> White Pulp: (B cells) -> Marginal zone (macrophages) -> Red pulp (RBCs, T Cells)
Innate Immunity Neutrophils, Macs & Dendritics, Complement.
Adaptive Immunity T Cells & B Cells
Th1 Cells Induced by IL-12. Make IL-2, IFN-gamma, activate macrophages & CD8s.
Th2 Cell Induced by IL-4. Make Il-4,5, B Cell IgE>IgG. Inhibited by IFN-gamma
IgG Opsonize bacteria. Induce Cytotoxic MAC attack (Type 2 Hypersensitivity) & Immune Complex (Type 3 hypersensitivity).
IgE Induce Type 1 Allergic Hypersensitivity
IL-2 Th Cells-> Cytotoxic & Th cell growth
B Cell Receptor CD 19, 20, 21 & 40; B7
Macrophage Receptors B7, CD40, CD 14, Fc & C3b receptors
NK Cells CD16, CD 56
T Cell Receptors CD3, 4, 8, 28, CD40L
APC Receptor B7, CD14
Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase Utilized to produce antibody diversity.
IL-1 Macrophages -> Inflammation & chemokine production
IL-3 Activated T Cells -> Bone marrow stem cells (like GM-CSF)
IL-4 Th2 Cells ->B Cell growth, IgG & IgE
IL-5 Th2 Cells -> B Cell differentiation, IgA, Eosinophil activation
IL-6 Th2 Cells & Macrophages -> Acute Phase Reactants, Ig production
IL-8 Macrophages -> Neutrophil chemotaxis
IL-10 Tr Cells -> Inhibit Th1 cells
IL-12 (+ deficiency) B Cells & Macrophages -> Th1 & NK cell stimulation. LOF-> mycobacterial infx.
IFN-Alpha, Beta, Gamma General: NK Activation. Alpha & Beta: Inhibits viral protein synthesis. Gamma: Th1 cells -> Macrophage stimulation, inhibits TH2 cells, amps up MHC I, II expression
TNF Macrophages -> Septic shock & vascular leak, leukocyte recruitment
Macrophage Cytokines: IL-1, IL-8, IL-12, TNF
Th2 Cytokines IL-4, IL-5, IL-6
Antiviral Complement C1,2,3 & 4
Anaphylactic/Inflammatory Complement C3a, 5a
Neutrophil Chemotaxis Complement C5a
MAC ATTACK! C5b-C9
C1 Esterase Deficiency Angioedema  Kalikrein –(C1)-> Bradykinin
C3 Deficiency Recurrent pyogenic respiratory infections (H. Flu, Pneumococcus)
C6-C8 Deficiency Neisseria bacteremia- no MAC 
DAF deficiency Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (Lack of RBC MAC inhibition)
Passive Immunity Ig administered to patients w/ Botulinum, Tetanus, Rabies, HBV (recall report w/ Robbie). Active immunity is IS production of antibodies
Antigenic Variation Pathogens Salmonella (2 flagellae), Borellia (cause the relapsing fever), N Gonorrhoea (pillus protein). FLU!, Trypanosomes (Chagas, Sleeping sickness)
Type 1 Hypersensitivity Mech Anaphylaxis. Preformed IgE antibody -> Mast or Basophil granule release (histamine).
Type 2 Hypersensitivity Mech Cytotoxic: IgM/G binding->Complement MAC attack or phagocytosis of cell
Type 3 Hypersensitivity Mech Immune-Complex: 1) Antibody-antigen-Complement -> Neutrophil recruitment & Inflammation 2)Serum Sickness: antibody to drug. Reaction 5+ days after administration. 3)Arthus Reaction: SubQ antigen injection->edema, necrosis, complement.
Type 4 Hypersensitivity Mech T-Cell mediated -> macrophage recruitment. Delayed. Mechanism of TB test, transplant rejection, touching (contact dermatitis).
Type 1 Hypersensitivity Examples Anaphylaxis, allergic rhinitis (hay fever)
Type 2 Hypersensitivity Examples Hemolytic anemia, Erythroblastosis Fetalis, Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic purpura, Rheumatic Fever, Bullous pemphigoid, Graves, Myasthenia, SLE
Type 3 Hypersensitivity Examples SLE, RA, Polyarteritis Nodosum, Post-Strep Glomerulonephritis, Serum Sickness, Arthus Rx, Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
Type 4 Hypersensitivity Examples DM1, MS, Guillain-Barre Synd, Hashimoto’s, Graft v. Host, PPD, Contact dermatitis.
Burton’s Agammaglobulinemia XR. Tyrosine kinase defect -> low B cell activation. Low B #s, in Boys 6 mos+, Bacterial infx.
DiGeorge Syndrome No 3rd & 4thPharyngeal pouch development -> no Thymus, parathyroids. Tetany, no Ts (Viral & Fungal infx), TwentyTwo “q”11 syndrome: persistent Truncus, TofF
Severe Combined Immunodeficiency LOF MHC II, IL-2, Adenosine Deaminase -> no B or T differentiation. More susceptible to all infx.
Hyper IgM Syndrome T Cell CD40 LOF-> no Ig class switching from IgM-> Pyogenic infx
Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome X-Linked. W-A -> low IgM, high IgA. WIPE: Wiskott-> pyogenic Infx, thrombocytopenic Purpura, Eczema.
Job’s Syndrome INF-gamma LOF-> no neutrophil chemotaxis. FATED: coarse Facies, Abscesses, primary Teeth, IgE, Derm (eczema).
Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Synd Type 1 Integrin defect on phagocytes -> no diapedesis -> bacterial infx, no pus, slow umbilicus separation.
Chediak-Higashi Disease AR. Microtubule & phagocytic lysosomal defect -> Pyogenic Staph & strep infx, partial albinism, peripheral neuropathy
Chronic Granulomatous Disease NADPH Oxidase def-> no antibacterial/antifungal ROS in phagosomes -> S. Aureus, E. Coli, Aspergillus infx. Dx: (-) Nitroblue tetrazolium dye reduction test
Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis T cell dysfunction -> persistent C. Albicans infx (LIKE IN AIDS)
Selective Ig Deficiency Isotype switching defect . Lack of IgA-> Sinus, lung infx, milk allergies, diarrhea.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
