COMPLEMENT
• ENZYME ACTIVATED CASCADE WITH

REGULATORY FRAGMENTS
• ACTIVATES INFLAMMATORY CELLS BY SPECIFIC
RECEPTOR INTERACTIONS
• HAS IMPORTANT IMMUNOREGULATORY AND
IMMUNE COMPLEX DISPOSAL ROLES
• Measured by serum C3 and C4, total hemolysis and
individual components
COMPLEMENT-RELATED DISEASES
• Rare
• C1esterase deficiency with angioneurotic
edema• Deficiencies in the direct sequence associated
with IC diseases like SLE
• Homozygous C3 is lethal
• Deficiencies in the alternate path very rare
• Individual component deficiency after C5
associated with Neisserial bacteremia

MORE CYTOKINES TO
REMEMBER
Il-12, INF- and IL-2 =TH1 response
IL-4 =TH2 response & antibody formation
IL-10, IL- 4 = suppression of Th1
INF- = suppression of TH2
IL-8 = neutrophils
IL-5= eosinophils
TGF- = healing
IL-6 = fever and cachexia
TNF- =inflammation (RA),sepsis and SIRS,
monoclonals available to inhibit some syndromes
MHC
•
•
•
•
Co-dominant alleles
Present on Chromosome 6 in humans
A,B,C loci are Class I
D loci are class II and control immune
responses and rejection

IMMUNOSUPPRESSION
•
•
•
•
•
Corticosteroids-inhibit NFB
Cyclosporine-inhibit T-cell activation
Tacrolimus- inhibit T-cell activation
Rapamycin- block IL-2 receptor activation
Anti-cytokine/ligand monoclonals
PREDICT THE TYPE OF
INFECTION
• Pure B cell…encapsulated bacteria and systemic spread of
GI viruses..frequent after 6 mos of age
• “pure” T cell….TB, fungi, pneumocystis since helper
function is lost…occurs at birth. B cell infections will not
occur until maternal antibody gone-approx 6 mos
• B & T cell..at birth, severe and fatal if not transplanted
• CGD –neutrophil inability to kill bacterial that produce
catalase..esp staph
• cytokine..IL-12, Interferon gamma, IL-4

DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH BCELL DEFICIENCY
• X-LINKED
AGAMMAGLOBULINEMIA
• COMMON VARIABLE
IMMUNODEFICIENCY
• SELECTIVE IgA DEFICIENCY
• CLL
• HYPER IgM SYNDROME
• TREATMENT
DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH T & B
CELL DEFICIENCY
• SCID
• THERAPY:
– STEM CELL TRANSPLANTS
– BMT
– GENE REPLACEMENT- recent problems with
the retroviral vector insertion has led to
leukemia
TESTING IMMUNE FUNCTION
• B-CELLS
– SERUM IG LEVELS
– ELECTROPHORECTIC DETECTION OF
CLONALITY
– ENUMERATION OF B-CELLS
– DETECTION OF SPECIFIC ANTIBODIES
– IMMUNOHISTOPATHOLOGIC
Know your Flow!
TESTING IMMUNE FUNCTION
• T-CELLS
– IN VIVO SKIN TESTING- will not be valid in
patients with malnutrition, on steroids etc
– ENUMERATION OF T-CELLS-can be
misleading because doesn’t reflect tissue
distribution
– IMMUNOHISTOPATHOLOGIC
– IN VITRO FUNCTIONS- rarely needed
HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS
• TYPE I- Atopy, asthma & anaphylaxis
• TYPE II-Antibody to cell structuresimmune thrombocytopenia, AIHA

AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
IMMUNE COMPLEX
DISEASE-AKA SERUM
SICKNESS
AUTOANTOBODIES
• SLE– ANA is a SCREENING TEST ONLY(HIGH
SENSITIVITY, LOW SPECIFICITY)
– double stranded(ds/native) DNA correlates loosely with
renal disease, very specific
– Sm very specific for SLE-low sensitivity
– Histone- present in drug induced lupus but also SLE
and other diseases
– Ribonucleoprotein (RNP)- associated with mixed
connective tissue disease
AUTOANTOBODIES
– ANCA
• cANCA high specificity for Wegeners
Granulomatosus
• pANCA found in some glomerulonephritis,
microscopic vasculitis and other vasculitis
Polymyositis/Dermatomyositis……anti-JO-1
SS-A(Ro)/SS-B(La)- Sjogren syndrome, congenital
heart block
MORE AUTOANTIBODIES
• Scleroderma
– SCL-70( aka anti-topoisomerase) specific but
very low sensitivity
– Centromere-high sensitivity for CREST(limited
scleroderma) and codes for presence of
pulmonary hypertension
Other Autoantibodies to remember
• AntiAcR- myasthenia
• Anti-endomysial- Sprue (anti gliadin)
• Rheumatoid factor- not specific for RA
Acute Phase reactants
• C-reactive Protein•
•
•
•
Most accurate indicator of an inflammatory reaction
Proxy for IL-6
May correlate independently of Lipids for CA
High likelihood something about CRP will be on
Boards!..especially as independent indicator of
coronary artery disease
Transferrin, ceruloplasmin, C3, haptoglobin
increase with infection, albumin and
hemoglobin decrease
