Lecture 12: Disorders associated with the immune system Edith Porter, M.D. 1 Hypersensitivity ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Type I (anaphylactic) reactions Type II (cytotoxic reactions Type III (immunecomplex reactions) Type IV (delayed cell-mediated) reactions Autoimmune diseases ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Tolerance Cytotoxic autoimmune diseases Immune complex autoimmune diseases Cell mediated autoimmune disease Transplant rejection Immunodeficiencies ▪ Congenital ▪ Acquired 2 Immune response against an innocuous (harmless) antigen Antigen is now called allergen 4 types Type I: anaphylactic reactions (soluble allergen, IgE and mast cells) “Allergy” Type II: antibody mediated cytotoxicity (cellular allergen, IgG or IgM and complement) Type III: immune complex reactions (soluble allergen, IgG, complement) Type IV: T- cell mediated reactions (allergen, macrophages, T cells) 3 via complement activation Allergen is taken up by macrophages and activates TH cells Tuberculin reaction 4 “Allergy” Involve IgE antibodies and mast cell derived histamine IgE is captured by mast cells in the absence of antigen When allergen binds and cross-links surface IgE, mast cells degranulate Release histamine containing granules Vasopermeability increased Mucous production increased Constriction of airways Localized Hives, hay fever, or asthma from contact or inhaled antigens Systemic Shock from ingested or injected antigens 5 6 7 Drops of fluid containing various allergens are placed on top of the skin. A light scratch is made with a needle to allow the substances to penetrate into the skin. Reddening and swelling within minutes indicate hypersensitivity 8 Involves allergen on cells or matrix associated, IgG antibodies, complement Complement activation via classical pathway causes cell lysis or uptake by macrophages Most familiar example is drug hypersensitivity 9 Alternatively, complex is phagocytosed by macrophages 10 Initially observed when serum from immune animals was injected into patients IgG antibodies and soluble allergen form complexes that lodge in basement membranes Complement activation and inflammation Kidney: glomerulonephritis, kidney dysfunction Small blood vessels arthritis 11 Delayed cell-mediated reactions Do not involve antibodies Caused mainly by T cells Allergen is taken up by host cell and presented to T cells Uptake by macrophages and presentation via MHC II: T helper cell response; example tuberculin test Uptake by any nucleated cell and presentation via MHC I: CTL response; example contact dermatitis Apparent only at least one day after allergen contact 12 Cell infiltrate Used in TB diagnostic 13 Example: Poison ivy contact dermatitis Lipid soluble allergen is absorbed through skin and crosses cell membranes Allergen modifies self peptides Presentation of modified self peptide via MHC I to CTL Destruction of modified cell 15 via complement activation Allergen is taken up by macrophages and activates TH cells Tuberculin reaction 16 Unwanted immune response to self antigens Normally, self-reacting B-cells and T-cells are deleted during fetal development (self tolerance) Autoimmunity is the consequence of loss of selftolerance Chronic disease that is continuously ongoing, since self antigen cannot be eliminated 17 Type II — Antibodies react with cell-surface antigens in specific organs Type III (Immune Complex) — IgM and/or IgG react with soluble cell material, complexes are deposited, initiate complement activation, inflammation Type IV — Mediated by cytotoxic T cells 18 Stimulating autoantibodies against growth receptors on thyroid gland Cross reactive autoantigens in the eyes Patients develop goiter, bulging staring eyes 19 Autoantibodies against acetylcholine receptor on muscle cells Muscle weakness Repetitive movements very difficult! In particular eye bulb muscles affected Life threatening when muscles for respiration are affected Can be transferred to fetus 20 Auto-antibodies against nuclear components (DNA, histones, ribosomes, snRNP, etc) Immune complexes activate complement Complexes transported via Fc-rec. on phagocytes or via complement rec. on erythrocytes to spleen/liver for sequestration Excess complexes are deposited in small blood vessels Local inflammation in skin, joints and kidneys, multi-organ damage 21 Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus Early, sudden onset (adolescence) Initially mediated by autoantibodies against beta cell antigen Later phases include cytotoxic T-cell response Immunohistochemistry Insulin = brown Glucagon = black 22 Unwanted normal response against foreign antigen Mainly MHC I based Every nucleated cell expresses MHC Type I molecules MHC I molecules differ from person to person MHC I molecules from a different person are recognized as foreign Cytotoxic T cells attack the transplant Cross reactive antibodies NK cell dependent cytotoxicity Complement attack with lysis Macrophage attacks Lymphocyte Infiltrate 23 24 Formerly erythroblastosis fetalis Can be prevented by i.v anti-rhesus at the time of delivery 25 Immune competent cells are transplanted Bone marrow transplant Immune cells from graft attack the host Typical symptoms include diarrhea and kidney failure 26 27 Opportunistic infections Recurrent infections with otherwise harmless organisms 28 Inherited Chronic granulomatous dis Chronic granulomatous disease ▪ Neutrophil defect ▪ Lack of oxidative burst Complement deficiencies Agammaglobulinemia ▪ No antibodies Severe Combined Immune Deficiency ▪ No B-cells, no T-cells Acquired Burst + Burst – Neutrophils Immunosuppressive drugs HIV infection 29 1981: In US, cluster of Pneumocystis and Kaposi's sarcoma in young homosexual men discovered The men showed loss of immune function 1983: Discovery of virus causing loss of immune function HIV By Montagnier (France) and Gallo (US) 30 Evidence indicates HIV-1 and HIV-2 arose from different evolutionary lines HIV-2: mutation in a simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) of mangabey monkeys in West Africa HIV-1: SIV carried by chimpanzees in Central Africa Chimpanzee virus appears to be a hybrid of two mangabey SIVs 31 Crossed the species barrier into humans in Africa in the 1930s Humans eating infected monkeys Humans being bitten by infected monkeys Patient who died in 1959 in Congo is the oldest known case Spread in Africa as a result of urbanization Spread in world through modern transportation and unsafe sexual practices Norwegian sailor who died in 1976 is the first known case in Western world 32 Enveloped with protein spikes gp 120 gp 41 2 copies of RNA Reverse transcriptase Integrase Protease 33 Requires CD4 and a chemokine receptor Individuals with certain mutations in one of the chemokine receptors are immune to HIV infection Primarily, T cells are infected Additional cell targets are monocytes and macrophages, epithelial cells Major steps of infection Attachment via gp 120 Fusion via gp41 Entry of virion without envelope Uncoating Reverse transcription Incorporation of viral cDNA into host genome Viral RNA and viral mRNA production Capsid and enzyme production (reverse transcriptase, integrase, protease) Assembly , packaging, and release 34 35 36 via CD4 and chemokine Receptor CCR 37 Viral RNA is reverse transcribed into DNA Viral DNA is integrated into host genome Latent infection as provirus Latent virion Viruses are not released but remain in a vacuole in the cell Active production Budding and release of infectious virions Cell to cell fusion 38 HIV-1 USA, Western Hemisphere HIV-2 Western Africa Almost normal life span Clades No proof reading High mutation rate of HIV Many new subtypes Clades differ from each other by ~ 30% or more 39 Category A Asymptomatic or persistent lymphadenopathy Category B Persistent Candida albicans infections Category C Clinical AIDS ▪ CMV, TB, Pneumocystis, toxoplasmosis, Kaposi's sarcoma 40 41 Protozoa Mycobacterium Cryptosporidium tuberculosis Mycobacterium avium intracellulare Toxoplasma Viruses Herpes simplex Varizella zoster Bacteria Fungi Pneumocystis Histoplasma Candida Cryptococcus Intracellular organisms that require T-mediated defense!!! 42 Deficient tumor control T-helper cells activate NK cells CTL can kill specific tumor cells New Herpes viridae are involved Lymphoma, Kaposi sarcoma 43 Antibody detection Seroconversion takes up to 3 months HIV antibodies detected by ELISA, confirmed by western Rapid (20 min) test available Plasma viral load is determined by PCR or nucleic acid hybridization 44 Types of drugs Reverse transcriptase inhibitors ▪ Prevent viral DNA synthesis Protease Inhibitors Fusion inhibitors which target gp41 Integrase inhibitors prevent integration of HIV cDNA into host chromosome Virus decoys (material to which virus binds instead of to cells) Boosting immune system Combination therapy HAART (highly active anti-retroviral therapy) Often requires up to 40 pills a day 45 Use of condoms and sterile needles Health-case workers use universal precautions Wear gloves (double glove during invasive surgery), gowns, masks, goggles Do not recap needles Risk of infection from infected needle stick injury is 0.3% Vaccine development So far unsuccessful: > 30 vaccine candidates tested ▪ Rapid mutation, differing clades ▪ Infected cells not very susceptible to CTL attack ▪ Latent infections 46 ~20,000,000 have already died 14,000 new infections every day http://www.who.int/vaccine_research/diseases/hiv/en/ 47 48 Hypersensitivities are immune responses to an innocuous antigen, which is called allergen. Autoimmune diseases are immune responses to self antigens.
