Highly polymorphic Composed of an alpha chain and B2 microglobulin (coded outsided of MHC) * B2 microglobulin is required for class I HLA to work, if missing then the HLA would just fold over itself* A1 and A2 domains form a cleft and bind to short peptides approximately 8-10 aa in length. Hydrophobic transmembrane region

Adaptive immunity characteristics

*B and T lymphocytes* - Highly specific - Extensive diversity - Memory - Self limiting

Clinical importance of stem cells (3)

*Bone marrow transplants* - Must carefully match MHC (major histocompatibility complex) to prevent graft rejection. *Graft vs host disease* (GVHD) *Gene therapy* - SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency - bubble boy) - ADA deficiency (Adenosine deaminase deficiency), replace the gene in HSC's (hematopoietic stem cells)

B lymphocytes

*Bone marrow* Membrane bound Ig (immunoglobulin), serves as receptor for antigen Develop into plasma cells and memory cells All clonal progeny from a given B cell secrete Ab (antibody) molecules with the same Ag (antigen) binding specificity. B cells can bind to anything; sugars, lipids, or proteins. Responsible for generating antibodies, plasma cells are terminally differentiated B cells. b cells become plasma cells whose job is to just secrete antibodies and then die.

T helper cells (TH cells)

*CD4+* Recognize antigen in associated with class II MHC (exogenous antigen) Activated following recognition of Ag-class II MHC on antigen presenting cells (APC's) Activated TH cells divide and give rise to clones of effector cells which secrete various cytokines and play a major role in B cell and TC cell activation and the inflammatory response - TH1- activates Tc, MØ (macrophage), drives isotype switching to IgG. - TH2- activates B cells, drives isotype switching to IgE - TH17- inflammation, extracellular bacterial and fungal infections.

Cytotoxic T cells (Tc cells)

*CD8+* Recognize antigen in association with class I MHC (endogenous antigens) Activated following recognition with Ag-class I MHC complex Secretes few cytokines Directly recognizes and kills target cells (virus infected and intracellular bacteria)

IgG

*Class switching occurs via TH1 cells and IFN-γ* IgG can participate in many immune functions including: - Opsonization - Antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) - Activation of classical complement - Only antibody that can cross the placenta It is the predominant antibody in the serum It is a high affinity antibody and predominates during the secondary immune response 4 subisotypes IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4

IgE

*Class switching occurs via secretion of IL-4 and IL-13.* Low levels in plasma Binds to mast cells and basophils and causes them to degranulate. Used to kill parasites. Responsible for type I hypersensitivity.

IgA

*Class switching occurs via secretion of TGF-β* and to a lesser extent IL-4, IL-10, iNOS, and retinoic acid. This occurs predominantly in the mucosa. Predominant antibody in the secretions: mucosal surfaces, saliva, tears, nasal fluids, sweat, colostrum (first form of milk produced in mammary glands) and breast milk In secretions present as a dimer, so it can bind 4 antigens. Protected in secretion by secretory piece

*Fixation* is usually done by a chemical or mixture of chemicals, permanently preserves the tissue structure for subsequent treatments. Specimens should be fixated immediately after removal from body. Fixation is used to: -Terminate cell metabolism - Prevent enzymatic degradation of cells and tissues by autolysis (self-digestion). - Kill pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. - Harden the tissue as a result of either cross-linking or denaturing protein molecules.

*Fixation*

Activation of Macrophages induces what?

*Inflammation* 1. Phagocytosis 2. Production of cytokines 3. Recruitment of neutrophils 4. Diapedesis (the passage of blood cells through the intact walls of the capillaries, typically accompanying inflammation.) All 4 of these actions leads to *inflammation*.

Immune system cells

*Lymphoid* - B cells, T cells, Null cells (NK cells) *Mononuclear cells* - Macrophages (MØ) - Granulocytes -- Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils, Mast cells - Dendritic cells

IL-2 characteristics

*Made by T cells.* Autocrine regulation Main function is activating cytotoxic T cells.

What does Il-4 do?

*Made predominantly by Th2 cells.* Essential for class switching (along with IL-13) to IgE. Activates Th2 pathway and inhibits Th0 and IFN-y (and therefore macrophage activation). Main function is B cell activation and lass switching to IgE. IL-4 can also induce eosinophil development and differentiation.

Natural killer cells (NK cells)

*No B/T cell markers* No specific receptor for antigen (Ig/TCR) Cytotoxic activity against a wide array of tumors Receptor for antibody (CD16)-ADCC Chediak-Higashi (autosomal recessive) No NK cells- increased incidence in lymphomas.

T lymphocytes

*Thymus* Membrane receptors for Ag (antigen), similar to Ig (TCR (T-cell receptor)) TCR (T-cell receptor) only recognizes Ag (antigen) in association with MHC (Major histocompatability complex) 2 major subsets (2:1) - TH (T- helper cells (high maintenance)) (CD4+) - TC (T- cytotoxic cells) (CD8+) These are the most important cells of the immune response. Can only recognize protein. Don't just go out and recognize antigen, every single antigen has to be handed to them called MHC (major histocompatability complex). Much more high maintenance to B cell. All T cells have CD3. CD4 found in TH. CD8 found in TC.

Nonessential amino acids are synthesized from four common metabolites, what are they?

- *Pyruvate* (alanine) - *Oxaloacetate* (aspartate, asparagine) - *a-Ketoglutarate* (glutamate, glutamine, proline, arginine*) - *3-phosphoglycerate* (serine, glycine, cysteine) *arginine essential only during growth (phenylalanine -> tyrosine) (Tyrosine and Cysteine conditional nonessential because phenylalanine and methionine needed to synthesis in the body respectively)

Liver's role in central receiving, recycling

- Compounds entering blood via digestive tract must go through liver 1st (enterohepatic circulation) - Retrieves usable portions - Removes toxic compounds - Can make many different molecules from many different precursors (e.g. cen convert all protein amino acids to glucose, FA, or KB)

Maple syrup urine disease symptoms

- Distinct sweet odor of urine - Poor feeding, vomiting - Lethargy - Abnormal movements - Delayed development - Seizures, coma, and death possible without treatment.

Affinity maturation

- In the course of a humoral response, the average affinity of the antibodies produced increases by 100-10,000 fold - This is the result of somatic hypermutation and the Ag selection of high affinity clones - Somatic mutation - point mutations, deletions, or insertions into the V,D, or J region of rearranged Ig genes - The majority of mutations occur in the variable regions - Higher affinity antibodies are positively selected, lower affinity antibodies are signaled to die by apoptosis So the reason IgG, IgA, and IgE have higher affinity than IgM is because of affinity maturation. During T cell dependent B cell response, B cells start proliferating in the germinal centers, dividing quickly and acquiring somatic mutations (point mutations, deletions, or insertions) in the variable region. The mutations that are good and increase binding affinity to antigen stay and those B cells divide and make copies of itself. Those that bind not so well, or just okay, get killed by apoptosis. When we get these high affinity antibodies the B cells class switch so that only the IgG, IgE, IgA ones have these high affinity antibodies.

Management of patient with liver cirrhosis

- Irreversible in later stages - Alcohol abstinence - Avoiding superimposed insults to live (up-to-date with vaccinations, avoiding hepatotoxins) -Management of symptoms and prevention of complications.

How are amino acids transported into cells from the blood

- Primarily by Na+ dependent cotransporters. - Different genes and amino acid composition, specificities similar to transporters in intestinal cells.

Mild to moderate intensity long-term exercise

- Release of lactate decreases over the course of the exercise due to aerobic use of glucose and fatty acid becoming predominant. - Liver maintains blood glucose via liver glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. Both glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis stimulated by epinephrine (and glucagon in liver). -Muscle AMPK stimulates GLUT4 translocation (increase glucose uptake). After ~40 min, increased dependence on FA. - Liver glucose output decreases - FA dependence becomes greater w/ increasing exercise duration - Type I slow-twitch oxidative fibers Hormonal signals include decreased insulin and elevated glucagon, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. GH, cortisol, and TSH may also contribute.

Alcaptonuria symptoms

- Urine turns black when exposed to air. - Ochronosis, a buildup of dark pigment in connective tissues such as cartilage and skin, as well as in sclera of eyes. (Blue-black pigmentation usually appears after age 30.) - Often develop arthritis (spine and large joints) (early adulthood)

Free energy change of ATP-> ADP

-31 kJ/mol, occurs via hydrolysis

Cystinuria

-Defect in transport of amino acids, decreased resorption of amino acids in kidneys ( means more in urine). - Kidney stone formation due to insolubility of cystine.

Problems with amino acid metabolism: Phenylalanine and tyrosine (3)

-Inborn errors of metabolism - States required to test for these PKU, Alcaptonuria, and Tyrosinemia I PKU: defective phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) leads to hyperphenylalaninemia, irreversible mental retardation, delayed psychomotor skills, tremors, seizures, hyperactivity. lifelong dietary modification needed. Alcaptonuria: Homogentisate oxidase is defective, homogentisate accumulates, auto-oxidizes to a dark pigment that is excreted in urine. Tyrosinemia I: Genetic deficiency in fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase; fatal within first year of life. Phenylalanine + *Phenylalanine hydroxylase* (causes PKU) -> Tyrosine + PLP + *Tyrosine aminotransferase* (causes tyrosinemia II) -> p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate -> Homogentisate + *homogentisate oxidase* (causes alcaptonuria) -> -> *fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase* (causes tyrosinemia I) -> fumarate and acetoacetate

T helper cell- Macrophage interaction

1. Antigen/MHC/T cell receptor complex formed. 2. Co-stimulatory molecules bind CD28 (on T cell) and B7 on (APC, macrophage in this case). 3. Cytokines are released by macrophage, specifically IL-1 or IL-12. 4. Upregulate IL-2 receptor after IL-1 or IL-12 received by T cell. Increase affinity of the IL-2 receptor for IL-2 molecules. 5. Make their own IL-2 molecules. IL-2 is by T cells for T-cells, T cells make it and T cells use it. T cells release IL-2 molecules to bind to the IL-2 receptor on its own surface. 6. When IL-2 molecules bind to IL-2 receptors it stimulates production of Interferon gamma (IFN-y). INF-y is a major cytokine that turns on macrophages and makes them upregulate everything. Also causes class switching to IgG. IL-2 is also essential for activating cytotoxic T cells (CD8). IgCAM and Integrin bind to each other (adhesion molecules) to facilitate this interaction. CTLA-4 is the downregulator of CD28. At the end of this process when we need to shut down CD28/B7 interaction we increase expression of of CTLA-4. TH1 response is equivalent to a type 4 hypersensitivity or delayed type sensitivity reaction.

Antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)

A pathogen (virus) enters a cell and before it leaves the cell it will put its virus specific ligoproteins in/on the cell membrane. Then an antibody (IgG) attaches to the antigen (virus proteins) and then bring it to NK cells, macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, anybody with a receptor for IgG (aka CD16). The target cell is then killed, NK cells punch holes in it. It's mainly NK cells that do this but other cells can do it too, anyone with CD16 (receptor for IgG). Some viruses don't have to leave a cell to infect other cells like herpes, HIV, etc because they have cell fusion protein which will fuse cells together so the virus can travel between cells. These cells need to be killed by T cells.

Exogenous antigen processing and presentation

APC phagocytosis a protein antigen. The phagocyte binds with a lysosome to create a phagolysosome which breaks apart the antigen into the appropriate length. The class II MHC can't bind while it is in the ER because there is a invarient chain attached to it which is a good thing because the class I MHC can bind in the ER so when infected with viruses the class I MHC would be expressed rather than class II MHC. So instead, the class II MHC will eventually fuses with the phagolysosome and the acidic lysosomal compartment chews up most of the invariant chain so that you are just left with a little clip molecule still blocking the chain. Then HLA-DM, a helper molecule, takes out that little clip and the class II MHC can finally bind to the antigen and express it on the cell surface, present it to T helper cells.

B cell development and activation stages/steps.

Antigen independent stage - occurs in the bone marrow - Involves the development of B cells from Hematopoietic stem cells through a series of defined intermediates Antigen dependent stage - Occurs in the periphery - Involves the development of mature B cells to memory and plasma cells. 1. Lymphoid stem cell can be a T cell, B cell, or NK cell. Once it commits to B cell, it goes into the Pro-B cell stage (progenitor). 2. At the Pro-B cell stage start Ig heavy chain gene rearrangement with RAG expression, Tdt, MHC II, and CD19, CD20, CD21, CD40. 3. After the heavy chain rearranges good it goes into the Pre-B cell stage which has characteristic *cytoplasmic Mu* (because its the first to be made). Light chain start rearranging in this stage, tdt isn't expressed here. 4. After light chain rearrangement, it enters the immature B cell stage which is characterized by *surface IgM*. RAG expression stops after the light chain rearrangement finishes in this stage. This is where selection happens, if it binds to itself it gets killed right in the bone marrow. If not then it moves into the periphery and onto the next stage. 5. Next it enters the mature B cell stage which is characterized by surface *IgM and IgD*. This is in the periphery. This is where it will test its antigen binding, if it binds antigen then goes to the next stage. It is naive until it binds to an antigen, has 1 month to find an antigen. 6. Becomes an activated/ blast B cell. Depending on which antigen it binds it either turns into a plasma cell which is characterized by *cytoplasmic Ig* or memory B cell which is characterized by surface IgG, IgA, or IgE.

What does IL-7 do?

B and T cell development.

Which accessory molecules transduce the signals for B cell receptors? T cell receptors?

B cell receptors use Ig alpha and Ig beta to actually transduce the signal to initiate the activation process. T cell receptors use CD3 for the same purpose. Mutation in these accessory molecules would be that the B and T cells couldn't properly respond to antigens, differentiate them, etc.

B cell activation by a bacteria cell

B cell with its antibodies binds to the antigens on a bacterial cell. This initiates the Iga and Igb to signal to the SYK (B cell specific tyrosine kinase receptor) to phosphorylate which allows signals to reach the nucleus to change gene expression. Now CD19 role in this is receptor complex is that it is a coreceptor. When the coreceptors are ligated, you need less antigens to elicit a response (1000 vs 15 with coreceptor).

Clonal selection

Why does the body excrete N as urea?

Because NH3 is toxic to the brain.

Why is the favored form in the body NH4+?

Because the pKa of ammonia (NH3) is 9.3, the favored form in the body at physiological pH is ammonium (NH4+).

What is bilirubin?

Bilirubin is one of the heme degradation products. When RBCs destroyed, bilirubin released and can be found in blood. Billirubin accumulation = jaundice (yellowing of skin and whites of eyes). Gallbladder can cause gallbladder to be obstructed which means bile salts can't be secreted into GI which gives stool a light clay-colored appearance (no bile salts in it). Often caused by liver and gallbladder disorders (elevated bilirubin)

Constant regions, antigen dependent vs antigen independent.

Biological function of antibodies comes from the constant region. Some biological functions mediated by the constant region are antigen independent like IgG crossing the placenta or IgE binding to mast cells. Some are antigen dependent. In antigen dependent functions, a cryptic site on the constant region is exposed after antigen binding and causes a conformation change in the antibody molecule after formation of the Ag-Ab complex.

Disorders of the urea cycle

Blocks in urea cycle increase glutamine levels; alpha-ketogluterate levels become too low to fix more N, ammonia levels rise. -Accumulation of ammonia is very toxic to CNS. Extent of elevation in glutamine and NH4+ depends on the defective enzyme. High levels of ammonia and glutamine lead to brain swelling; elevated glutamine opens MPTP, leads to cell death; lower glutamate means less excitatory neurotransmitter synthesis resulting in lethargy and reduced CNS activity. Hyperammonemia- can cause irreversible brain damage and mental retardation. - Diagnose early, treat aggressively with N-removing compounds, low protein diet. -If block is after argininosuccinate, arginine supplementatin can help. Most common defect is Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (step 2).

Brown adipose tissue

Thermogenin

Brown adipose tissue has thermogenin which is thermogenic- is an ETC uncoupler- allows protons to sneak back into matrix which decreases ATP production. Lose energy through heat. Helps to keep warm- most adipose tissue is white as we reach adulthood. Babies have brown fat.

How can macrophage function be enhanced?

By T helper cytokines which increase their phagocytic activity, give them higher levels of class II MHC on the cell surface, and in turn increased ability of macrophages to activate T helper cells.

How is fructose metabolized

By conversion to intermediates of glycolysis: Dihydroxyacetone-P and Glyceraldehyde-3-P Occurs mainly in liver. Rate limiting enzyme of fructose metabolism: Aldolase B (cleaves fructose 1-P) (in liver) (not rate limiting in glycolysis) Uses Aldolase A in muscle Fructose can also be converted to Fructose-6-P (in glycolysis intermediate) in muscle and adipose via hexokinase when glucose is low.

How does the body capture energy as ATP?

By oxidizing fuel, fatty acids in low oxidized state while ketone bodies are already in a high oxidized state therefore you get more energy out of fatty acids than ketone bodies (glucose in the middle).

What does a deficiency in C1-INH cause?

C1-INH (C1 inhibitor) normally inhibits the classical pathway of complement system. A C1-INH deficiency causes hereditary angioedema. You have overuse of C1, C4, and C2 which causes edema at mucosal surfaces so the most obvious sign is that the patients face is swollen but it happens everywhere.

Pathway when OTC is defective, clinical diagnosis?

Carbamoyl -> orotate -> pyrimidines and urine. Pyrimidine synthesis pathway becomes flooded with OTC defect. Excess orotate is produced and excreted in the urine. This excess urinary orotate is indicative of a problem in the urea cycle.

What does glucogenic amino acids mean?

Carbon skeletons converted to some product of glucose breakdown. These amino acids produce pyruvate or intermediates of the TCA cycle. Considered glucogenic because they can lead to production of glucose in the liver. Some amino acids are both glucogenic and ketogenic. Lysine and leucine are strictly ketogenic.

Chromogranin A marker for

Chromogranin A is a protein that is found in neuroendocrine cells, which are mainly present in the pancreas (i.e., islet cells), gastrointestinal tract, lungs, and adrenal glands. The biopsy of this patient's ileal mass shows numerous small cells of similar shape and size (monomorphic cells) arranged in a rosette pattern that is typical of a carcinoid tumor. Chromogranin A, synaptophysin, and neuron-specific enolase can be used as an immunostain to confirm the neuroendocrine origin of this tumor.

Cilia made of? What diseases are characteristic of cilia disorder?

What are the 3 classes of HLA (MHC), which chromosome is it found in, and general characteristics.

Class I (A, B, and C) - Cytotoxic T cells. Class II (DP, DQ, and DR) - Helper T cells. Class III- Non-classical HLA (don't worry about). All 3 classes found on chromosome 6 They are highly polymorphic (high allelic differences and variability). Expression is co-dominant (one from mom and one from dad and they are coexpressed).

What is the difference between the classical, lectin, and alternative pathways?

Classical pathway: Antibody binds to specific antigen on pathogen surface. Need at least 1 IgM (which is pentameric) or 2 IgG (monomeric) to initiate. Needs antibody so this is adaptive immune system. Lectin pathway: mannose-binding lectin binds to pathogen surface. Initiates when a complement binds to carbohydrates on bacteria and initiates this pathway. Happens innately. Alternative pathway: Complement proteins coming from the liver, spleen, and macrophages spontaneously lyse (C3 to C3a and C3b) then if C3b binds to the pathogen surface because of attraction to it's (example) LPS, etc, this pathway is triggered. Happens innately.
