Term
What types of hypersensitivity are carried out primarily by antibodies?
Definition
Types 1-3
Term
What types of hypersensitivity are carried out primarily by antibodies?
Definition
Types 1-3
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is carried out by T cells& mediators?
Definition
Type 4
Term
3 main immune players in Type 1 Hypersensitivty
Definition
Mast cells, Eosinophils, IgE
Term
Type 1 hypersensitivity produces excessive amounts of
Definition
IgE
Term
Type of animal that overproduce large amounts of IgE, making them prone too allergies
Definition
atopic animals
Term
Th-2 cells produce IL-4 which increases antibody class switch to
Definition
IgE
Term
______ cells become coated with IgE
Definition
Mast cells
Term
Mast cells secrete
Definition
heparin & histamine
Term
Effects of mast cell granule produces (6)
Definition
1. vasodilation of capillaries: increased blood flow to site of allergy --> red/hot
2. increase permeability to capillaries--> plasma oozes out--> swelling/edema
3. constriction of smooth muscle
4. stimulate production of secretions
5. irritate nerve endings --> itching/ pruritis
6. chemotaxis for eosinophils
Term
two inflammatory substances that eosinophils contain
Definition
IL-4, cytotoxis substances that kill bacteria
Term
Local allergic type 1 hypersenstivities are slow or fast?
Definition
very fast ( within seconds, clinical signs within 10-30 minutes)
Term
Examples of less severe sites of clinical symptoms of type 1 hypersensitivty
Definition
skin
Term
Site examples for more severe clinical signs for type 1 hypersenstivity
Definition
upper respiratory: wheezing (due to smooth muscle contraction), increased secretion (tearing, salivating)
intestinal tract: spastic contraction of smooth muscle--> pain, colic diarrhea. Increase in secretion
Term
To reduce anaphylactic shock you inject
Definition
einephrine
Term
What is the wheal & flear reaction
Definition
If IgE present (representing an allergy) you'll get inflammation/red skin. If no inflammation there is no IgE, i.e. no allergy
Term
Does antihistamines work on prevent allergic reactions or treating on-going allergic reactions?
Definition
preventing
Term
______ inhibit allergic reaction by immunosuppression
Definition
corticosteriods
Term
In desensitization therapy (allergy shots)...
Definition
Th2 switches to Th1 (making IgE unable to bind to mast cells), Th1 stimulates B cells which stop producing IgE and switch antibody classes.
Term
Another name for Type 2 hypersensitivty
Definition
cytotoxic hypersensitivity
Term
2 immunity players in Type 2 hypersensitivity
Definition
IgM and IgG
Term
Type 2 hypersensitivity is defined as when antibodies destroy ___ cells
Definition
normal
Term
main example of Type 2
Definition
incompatible blood transfusions
Term
Two ways to test for incompatible blood transfusions
Definition
Cross-matching test (sample of blood cells from donor- wash and remove serum components, same of blood cells from recipient-mix in vitro with pack RBCs. If no antibodies- nothing happes, if antibodies present.. complement activates--> lysis or RBCS clump)
Coombs testL (antiglobulin test), additional reagent- antiequine immunoglobulin antibodies. linkage and clumping if antibodies present.
Term
In neonatal isoerythroloysis
Definition
neonate drinking colostrum with antibodies against own RBCs (2nd newborn)
Term
TX of neontal isoerythrolysis
Definition
use MOTHERS RBCS- discard plasma, wash, re-suspend in saline, and then transfuse
Term
Exanoke if RBC destruction due to a viral infections
Definition
Equine infectious anemia
Term
3 immune players in Type 3 hypersensitivity
Definition
IgM, IgG, neutrophils
Term
What generally happens in type 3?
Definition
Excessive formation of immune complex (antigen + antibody)
Term
If immune complexes stick to RBCs it causes
Definition
anemia
Term
If immune complexes stick to platelets it causes
Definition
clotting
Term
If immune complexes stick to lymphocytes it causes
Definition
lymphopenia
Term
If immune complexes deposit in joints is causes
Definition
arthritis
Term
What white blood cell is highly involved in type 3?
Definition
neutrophils
Term
Type 4 hypersensitivty is induced by
Definition
T cells
Term
Mechanism of type 4
Definition
1) antigen expressed on infectious agent
2) antigen binds to antigen-presenting cells (APC)
3) APC induces immature Th0 cells to mature into Th1 cells
4) Th1 cells express CD4 + (effector cells & memory cells)
5) Th1 secreate INF-gamma (POWERFUL cytokine)
Term
In a type 4 hypersensitivity swollen mass, you would find..
Definition
no edema because there are no antibodies. FIRM.
Term
Types of infectious agents
Definition
Bacteria, Viruses, parasites, fungi
Term
Bacteria
Definition
small, intra/extracellular replication, complex surface proteins, produce toxins
Term
Viruses
Definition
smaller than bacteria, replication intracellular, simple surface proteins, no toxins
Term
parasites
Definition
variable in size, intra or extracellular replication, surface complexity varies, some produce toxins
Term
some gram-______ bacteria can produce endotoxins
Definition
negative
Term
Immune Mechanisms against extracellular bacteria
Definition
agglutination, opsonization, complement activation
Term
Ig_ prevents ability of bacteria to adhere to muscosal surface
Definition
A
Term

Definition
allergic reaction if IgE are produced against bacteria
Term
Negative consequences on the immune response/Type 2 hypersensitivity against bacteria...
Definition
anemia if bacteria attach to RBCs
Term
Negative consequences on the immune response/Type 3 hypersenstivity against bacteria...
Definition
immune complex deposition in the kidneys
Term
negative consequences on the immune response/type 4 hypersensitivity against bacteria...
Definition
animal has many granulomas
Term

Definition
minute change in antigen expression on a virus (ex common cold)
Term
antigenic shift
Definition
major change in composition on a virus
Term

Definition
ruminants, horses, pigs
Term
Maternal causes of Failure of Passive Transfer
Definition

Diagnosis for failure of passive transfer
Definition
1. animal husbandry
2. colostrum specific gravity
3. refractometry for total solids
