This document discusses tolerance and autoimmune diseases. It explains that tolerance is a lack of immune response to antigens, including self-antigens, which prevents autoimmunity. Central and peripheral tolerance mechanisms aim to eliminate or inactivate self-reactive immune cells. When tolerance breaks down, autoantibodies and self-reactive T-cells can damage tissues, as seen in autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, SLE, and multiple sclerosis. Genetics, infections, and environmental factors may influence autoimmunity. The immune system attacks via antibody-mediated or cell-mediated responses. Diagnosis involves testing for autoantibodies and immune complexes.
Autoimmune diseases result from immune reactions against self-antigens and loss of self-tolerance. They can be organ-specific like type 1 diabetes which targets pancreatic beta cells, or systemic like systemic lupus erythematosus which affects multiple organs. Central and peripheral tolerance mechanisms normally prevent autoimmunity, but their failure allows self-reactive T and B cells to escape and cause tissue damage. Common autoimmune diseases include rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome, systemic sclerosis, and inflammatory myopathies.
This document discusses autoimmune disorders, which occur when the immune system attacks the body's own cells and tissues. It provides criteria for classifying autoimmune disorders and discusses some of the potential causes, including genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors. It also summarizes some specific autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus), and provides an overview of common treatment approaches which aim to suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation.
This document discusses autoimmune diseases, including their causes, symptoms, and treatments. Some key points:
- Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system attacks the body's own organs and tissues, causing damage. They can affect specific organs or multiple systems.
- Common autoimmune diseases include Hashimoto's thyroiditis, type 1 diabetes, Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus.

This document contains 45 multiple choice questions testing knowledge of immunology concepts. The questions cover topics such as: hypersensitivity types and reactions; blood typing and transplant compatibility; immune complex diseases; cancer immunology; HIV/AIDS pathogenesis and treatment; and clinical definitions of AIDS.
This document provides an overview of autoimmune diseases. It defines autoimmune diseases as conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue. The causes include genetic factors, environmental triggers like infections, and defects in immunologic tolerance. Some specific autoimmune diseases discussed are rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, myasthenia gravis, and systemic sclerosis. The mechanisms, clinical features, pathology, and treatment options are described for each condition.
The document discusses the molecular mechanisms of autoimmunity, including molecular mimicry, superantigens, epitope spreading, inappropriate MHC expression, polyclonal B cell activation by viruses and bacteria, and cytokine dysregulation. It also covers genes associated with autoimmunity, environmental factors like drugs and toxins, and sex differences in autoimmune diseases.
The document discusses various aspects of tumor immunity and tumor antigens:
1. Tumor antigens are antigens produced by tumor cells that trigger an immune response. They can be used as tumor markers for diagnosis and potentially for cancer therapy.
2. There are two main types of tumor antigens - tumor associated antigens, which increase with tumor growth, and tumor specific transplantation antigens, which develop during tumor development and prevent tumor transplantation between identical hosts.
3. The immune system typically mounts responses against tumor antigens via antibodies and cytotoxic T cells. Understanding tumor antigens is important for cancer immunology and developing immunotherapies to treat cancer.
This document summarizes host-microbe interactions and the immune system. It describes three lines of defense: physical and chemical barriers, phagocytosis, and specific adaptive immunity including antibodies and B and T cells. The innate immune system provides non-specific defenses like normal flora and inflammation. Adaptive immunity develops specificity through clonal selection and memory cells provide lasting protection. Vaccines provide active immunity by simulating the immune system without causing disease.
The document discusses autoimmunity and immunodeficiency. It defines autoimmunity as the body's immune system attacking its own antigens, potentially causing tissue damage. Normally, immune tolerance prevents this. When tolerance is breached, various autoimmune diseases can occur. The document also defines and classifies primary and secondary immunodeficiencies, providing examples of defects and common infections associated with different types of immunodeficiencies. Laboratory tests for diagnosing autoimmune diseases and immunodeficiencies are also outlined.
Autoimmunity results from a failure of self-tolerance mechanisms in the immune system. This allows autoreactive lymphocytes and autoantibodies that target self-antigens to develop. A combination of genetic, environmental, and immunological factors contribute to autoimmune diseases. Tissue damage in these diseases can occur through various mechanisms, including cytotoxic antibodies, immune complexes, and T-cell mediated responses, leading to pathological changes in organs and tissues. Common autoimmune diseases involve autoreactivity against receptors, organ-specific cells, or cellular molecules like DNA and rheumatoid factor.
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks and damages healthy body tissues. There are over 80 types of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. The causes are not fully understood but may involve genetic and environmental factors. Common treatments aim to suppress the immune system to reduce symptoms, though diagnosis and treatment can be challenging given the wide variation in symptoms and tissues affected across different autoimmune diseases.
This document discusses autoimmune diseases, including their definition, pathogenesis, and examples. It explains that autoimmunity occurs when the immune system fails to distinguish self from non-self and attacks the body's own tissues. Normally, immune tolerance prevents this through sequestering antigens, generating tolerance in lymphocytes, and regulatory immune mechanisms. Breakdown of tolerance can be caused by genetic, immunological and microbial factors. Examples of autoimmune diseases that either target specific organs or are systemic are provided.
The document discusses autoimmune disorders and summarizes key points about Graves' disease. It explains that autoimmune disorders occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy body tissue. Graves' disease is described as an autoimmune disorder where antibodies cause the thyroid gland to produce excess hormones, leading to hyperthyroidism. The symptoms and common treatments are outlined, noting Graves' disease can often be managed after diagnosis.
This document provides an overview of autoimmune disease. It discusses low-level autoimmunity and how a small amount may be beneficial. It also covers immunological tolerance, genetic and environmental factors that can contribute to autoimmunity, and examples of specific autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
SLE is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks its own tissues, causing widespread inflammation and tissue damage in the affected organs. It can affect the joints, skin, brain, lungs, kidneys, and blood vessels.
This document presents information about autoimmune diseases from MD. Zahirul Islam. It defines autoimmune disease as a condition where the body produces antibodies that attack its own tissues, leading to damage. It provides examples of common autoimmune diseases like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes. The document notes there are two main types - systemic disorders involving non-specific autoantibodies and local disorders targeting specific tissues. It discusses the most common organs and tissues affected by autoimmune diseases and describes methods of diagnosis and treatment options for some conditions.
Immunological tolerance is a state of unresponsiveness to a particular antigen induced by prior exposure. It prevents harmful immune reactions to self-antigens. Central tolerance occurs in the thymus and bone marrow where immature cells that react to self are eliminated. Peripheral tolerance occurs when mature cells in tissues become unresponsive through deletion or lack of co-stimulation. Factors like antigen dose, route of exposure, age and genetics influence whether tolerance or immunity develops. Failure of tolerance can lead to autoimmunity where antibodies and T cells react to self-tissues, causing organ-specific or systemic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and diabetes.
This document discusses autoimmunity, including its definition as an inappropriate immune response against self cells/tissues due to self-tolerance failure. Various triggers are described, such as genetic factors like certain HLA alleles associated with diseases, environmental factors like molecular mimicry between pathogens and self-antigens, and non-genetic host factors including immunodeficiencies. Numerous autoimmune diseases are detailed along with their antibody targets and clinical features. Diagnosis involves clinical exams, labs to detect autoantibodies, and biopsies. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation through steroids, blocking cytokines/integrins/B cells, or more extreme measures like immunosuppressants.
Autoimmunity occurs when the immune system fails to distinguish self from non-self and attacks the body's own tissues. Immune tolerance is the body's normal ability to recognize self-antigens and not mount an immune response against itself. Breakdown of tolerance can occur through immunological factors like polyclonal T cell activation, genetic factors like certain HLA antigens, and microbial infections which may trigger an autoimmune response. Autoimmune diseases are either organ-specific when autoantibodies attack a single organ, or systemic when autoantibodies affect multiple tissues throughout the body. Common autoimmune diseases include Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythe
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissues. There are several types of autoimmune diseases, including systemic, localized, and hemocytolytic disorders. Common autoimmune diseases are rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and Hashimoto's disease. Symptoms vary but can include fatigue, joint pain, skin issues, and fever. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation plus tests to detect autoantibodies. Treatment focuses on immunosuppressants, steroids, NSAIDs, and monoclonal antibodies to suppress the immune system's mistaken response.
The document summarizes the host's natural defenses against infection. It discusses both non-specific defenses like fever and inflammation and specific immune system defenses. The specific defenses include the adaptive immune system of B and T lymphocytes that produce antibodies and cytokines. It also describes the different classes of antibodies (IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE) involved in the immune response and how they help identify recent or past infections.
This document examines the encephalogenic and HLA-DR binding capacities of various myelin peptides. It constructs recombinant HLA-DRβ1 complexes containing peptides from myelin proteolipid protein, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, and myelin basic protein. These complexes are transfected into insect cells to evaluate surface expression and autoantigenic activity. Individual myelin peptides are also tested for their ability to induce experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in transgenic mice. The data shows that two specific sheath peptides induced multiple sclerosis-like paralysis when injected into HLA-DRβ1-15.01 mice, indicating a role in multiple sclerosis induction. Ultimately, the peptide-HLA complexes will be used

5 Ischemia Infarction & Gangrene in pathology.pptxssuser9976be
Dry gangrene is caused by arterial occlusion alone, resulting in slow putrefaction and spread. It can cause natural amputation. Wet gangrene involves both arterial and venous occlusion, leading to rapid putrefaction and spread. No line of demarcation forms and toxemia is often fatal. Gas gangrene occurs when deep wounds are contaminated by Clostridium bacteria, causing muscle necrosis, gas formation and severe toxemia.
respiratory system 54172for anatomy students.pptssuser9976be
The respiratory system allows for gas exchange between the external environment and tissues within the body. It includes the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and lungs. The lungs are divided into conducting and respiratory zones. In the conducting zone, air is warmed and filtered before reaching the alveoli in the respiratory zone, where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged with blood. Breathing is controlled by respiratory centers in the brain and is influenced by chemoreceptors sensitive to oxygen, carbon dioxide and pH levels. Disorders that can affect the respiratory system include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, pneumonia and tuberculosis.
Thalassaemias are disorders of globin chain synthesis that can be caused by gene deletions or mutations. There are two main types: alpha thalassaemia is caused by reduced or absent alpha chain synthesis, while beta thalassaemia involves reduced or absent beta chain synthesis. Heterozygotes are typically asymptomatic but have characteristic blood abnormalities. The most severe forms, like alpha thalassaemia major and beta thalassaemia major, present in early childhood with severe anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, skeletal abnormalities, and require lifelong transfusions and chelation therapy.
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disorder where red blood cells take on a sickle, or crescent, shape due to a genetic mutation. This causes chronic hemolytic anemia and obstruction of small blood vessels. The mutation results in hemoglobin that polymerizes and distorts the red blood cell from its normal biconcave disk shape into a rigid sickle shape. This sickling obstructs blood flow through small vessels, depriving tissues of oxygen and causing damage that results in the signs and symptoms of sickle cell disease.
3 iron deficiency anemia blood diseases.pptssuser9976be
Iron deficiency anemia is the most common type of anemia globally. It occurs when iron levels in the body are insufficient to support normal red blood cell production. Key signs include pallor, fatigue, dyspnea, koilonychia, and angular cheilitis. It is diagnosed based on a low MCV and MCH on a CBC, low serum iron and ferritin levels, and absence of iron in bone marrow staining. Common causes are insufficient dietary iron intake, blood loss, hookworm infection, and increased iron needs during growth and pregnancy.

The document describes the housefly Musca domestica. It belongs to the kingdom Animalia, phylum Arthropoda, class Insecta, order Diptera, and family Muscidae. As an adult, it is 6-7 mm long with red compound eyes and an aristate antenna. It has three pairs of walking legs and one pair of wings. Females lay up to 500 eggs which hatch into legless larvae that feed on decaying organic matter and pupate. Adults emerge and can transmit diseases to humans via bacteria, viruses, and parasites on their bodies. Prevention methods include sanitation and insecticide use.
The document provides an overview of protozoology, which is the study of protozoa. It defines protozoa as microscopic, unicellular eukaryotic organisms that may be free-living or parasitic. The document outlines several general characteristics of protozoa, including their means of locomotion, nutrition, reproduction, and response to environmental conditions. It also discusses classification of protozoa and examples of important protozoan parasites that infect humans, such as Entamoeba histolytica and Plasmodium falciparum.
This document discusses Nocardia, a genus of aerobic actinomycete bacteria that can cause infections in humans. Nocardia is an opportunistic pathogen that primarily infects immunosuppressed individuals, causing pulmonary, cutaneous, or disseminated infections. It appears gram-positive and partially acid-fast, forming branching, beaded filaments. The most common species that infect humans are N. asteroides, N. brasiliensis, and N. caviae. People typically acquire Nocardia through inhalation, traumatic skin inoculation, or hospital-acquired sources. Diagnosis involves microscopy, culture, and molecular analysis. Treatment requires long-term combination antibiotic therapy and sometimes surgery.
This document discusses Actinomycetes, which are filamentous, Gram-positive bacteria that include the genera Actinomyces, Norcardia, and Streptomyces. Actinomyces israelii is described in more detail, including its characteristics as an anaerobic, Gram-positive, branching rod that is part of the normal human flora in the mouth and genitals. Actinomycosis is discussed as a chronic infection caused by A. israelii that can involve the cervicofacial, thoracic, or abdominal regions and presents as swollen lesions that drain pus. Laboratory diagnosis of actinomycosis involves direct examination of samples for sulfur granules,
The adrenal gland is divided into the medulla and cortex. The medulla releases catecholamines in response to sympathetic input. The cortex produces mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and sex steroids. The kidneys filter blood and produce urine through nephrons in the cortex and medulla. They are supplied by the renal artery and drained by the renal vein. The ureters carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The bladder stores urine until urination. The urethra then carries urine from the bladder out of the body.
This document provides information about amoebiasis caused by Entamoeba histolytica. It discusses the life cycle, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. Regarding life cycle, E. histolytica has stages of cysts which are ingested and release trophozoites in the intestines. Trophozoites colonize the intestines and form cysts which are released causing further infections. Symptoms range from asymptomatic to dysentery and liver abscesses. Diagnosis involves examining stool for cysts/trophozoites and imaging abscesses. Treatment includes metronidazole or tinidazole antibiotics. Prevention relies on proper sanitation and water treatment to avoid fecal-oral transmission.
PCR is a technique that takes a small amount of specific DNA sequence and amplifies it through an in vitro enzymatic process and cycling conditions to produce many copies of double-stranded DNA fragments of the same size and sequence. Primers are used to target the specific DNA region and their melting temperature (Tm) can be calculated using a formula that considers the number and type of nucleotide bases.
