Chapter 18, Problem 3CT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The clinical consequences of an autoimmune response to estrogen receptors.
Introduction:
An unwanted reaction that develops by the immune system is termed as “hypersensitivity”. It involves allergy and autoimmunity. Hypersensitivity is of four types, that are type I, type II, type III and type IV. Estrogen plays an essential role in the immune response and diseases mediated by the immune system. Estrogen receptors that are located on the cells are involved in the immune responses.

In some cases antibodies from individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 are being used as treatment for
individuals who are infected with COVID-19. We know from history that these antibodies could provide immunity for
those now afflicted with the disorder. While this is great, there could, initially be problems with this treatment plan.
Explain, how/ why this could work and discuss at least one specific problem that might be encountered using this
treatment method.
An adaptive immune response underlying coeliac disease pathogenesis involves:
a)
Production of Th1 (T helper cell 1 type) cytokines that act to promote the production of antibodies to gluten peptides
b)
Production of anti-gliadin and anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies via TH2 cytokines
c)
Conversion of glutamate to glutamine by deamination
d)
The early recognition of gluten peptides via pattern recognition receptors on epithelial cells and the subsequent release of Interleukin 15

- Pus is both a sign of infection and an indicator ofimmune defenses in action. Explain.arrow_forwardTrue/False: Neutrophils regulate the production of active cathelicidins (a class of antimicrobial peptides) by segregating the inactive propeptide from the processing enzyme that cleaves and activates it in two different types of cytoplasmic granules. These two types of granules are induced to fuse with phagosomes after ingestion of microbes, bringing the processing enzyme and the propeptide together.arrow_forwardExplain why Kaposi’s sarcoma is more common inimmunocompromised patients.arrow_forward
