IMM250 EXAM WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS (ALREADY GRADED
A+)

What happens when pathogen breaches barrier - 5 - Answer- 1 - Release of pamps
2 - Detected by PRR
3 - Activates signal transduction
4 - Activates NFkB
5 - Controls production of soluble mediators

Acute inflammatory response - 4 - Answer- 1 - Rest
2 - Bacteria comes in -> cytokines
3 - Vasodilation to increase vascular permeability
4 - Infected tissue becomes inflamed - redness, heat, swelling, pain

Pro-inflammatory cytokines - 3 - Answer- 1 - TNF
2 - IL-1
3 - IL-6

Anti inflammatory cytokines - 3 - Answer- 1 - IL-10
2 - IL-4
3 - TGFbeta

venule - Answer- small vein

endothelial cell - Answer- Cell type that forms the endothelium, the epithelium of a blood
vessel wall.

Leukocyte extravasation - Answer- the movement of leukocytes out of the circulatory
system and towards the site of tissue damage or infection

Selectins - Answer- Expressed by the endothelial cells to interact with sugars on
leukocytes

Integrins - Answer- e.g. LFA-1 - expressed by leukocytes to interact with ICAM on
endothelial cells for adhesison

Cytokines effect on body - 3 - Answer- 1 - Leukocyte production in bone marrow
2 - Act on hypothalamus to induce fever, increases function of immune cells
3 - Act on liver to increase phagocytosis and complement activation

,acute phase proteins - 3 - Answer- 1 - CRP
2 - MBL
3 - SP-A

CRP - Answer- C-reactive protein
Acts as opsonin
Activates classical pathway of complements

MBL - Answer- mannose-binding lectin
Acts as opsonin
Activates lectin pathway of complement

SP-A - Answer- Acts as opsonin in lung

septic shock for systemic infection - 4 - Answer- 1 - Vessel dilation -> cell's fluids
escape to tissues
2 - Drop in blood volume, pressure
3 - Elevated heartbeat
4 - DIC - Disseminated intravascular coagulation

Cytokine storm

Septic shock death steps - 5 - Answer- 1 - Cytokine production -> Endogenous
vasodilators
2 - Changes in endothelium -> leakage of fluids -> tissue edema
3 - microvascular beds clotted with neutrophils - impairs blood flow to organs
4 - Organ specific Ischemia (restriction in blood supply)
5 - Organ failure -> death

How to treat septic shock? - 3 - Answer- 1 - Dampen cytokine storm - steroids (anti-
inflammatories)
2 - Get rid of clots - activated protein C
3 - Vasopressors - constrict blood vessels

Complement - Answer- network of soluble or membrane bound proteins
triggers: PAMPs & immune complexes
activation of zymogens

Pathways for Complement Activation - 3 - Answer- 1 - Lectin pathway
2 - Classical pathway
3 - Alternative pathway

result of complement activation - Answer- C3 activation

Results of C3 activation - Answer- 1 - Amplification of inflammation

, 2 - Opsonization of pathogens for intracellular killing
3 - Membrane Membrane attack complex lysis of microbial membranes

lectin pathway of complement activation - Answer- It is activated by the binding of a
MBL present in blood plasma to mannose-containing peptidoglycans on bacterial
surfaces.

classical pathway of complement activation - Answer- It is activated by antibody bound
to antigen.

alternative pathway of complement activation - Answer- It is triggered by the presence
of infection but does not involve antibody. The early stages leading to cleavage of C3
involve iC3b, factor B, and factor D.

MAC - Answer- membrane attack complex
with generation of C5 enzyme, C5 is cleaved and C5a and C5b are formed, with C5B,
MAC is assembled

Opsonization - Answer- coating antigen with antibody enhances phagocytosis
Helped with C3b and C4b

Anaphylatoxins that increase vascular permeability - Answer- C5a and C3a

Hereditary Angiodema - Answer- deficiency of C1 inhibitor (C1INH)
blocks in classical complement activation
treatment: Recombinant C1INH

C1INH - Answer- dissociates C1r/C1s in C1 complex
C4 and C2 byproducts
Vasoactive - swelling in tissues

villi - Answer- Fingerlike extensions of the intestinal mucosa that increase the surface
area for absorption

Cells on villi - 4 - Answer- 1 - Paneth cell
2 - Enterocyte
3 - Goblet cell
4 - Epithelial cells

Microvilli - Answer- Fingerlike extensions of plasma membrane of apical epithelial cells,
increase surface area, aid in absorption

intestinal crypts - Answer- found in the mucosa of the small intestine; produces
intestinal juice

Epithelial cells - Answer- Physical barrier
