Across
  1. 2. Regulate the immune system; downstream effects include activation of macrophages, inflammation, and stimulation of T & B lymphocytes.
  2. 3. Epithelium, phagocytic cells, dentric cells, natural killer cells are components.
  3. 4. Kill cells harboring microbes.
  4. 6. Type I hypersensitivity reaction; examples include anaphylaxis, hay fever, food allergies.
  5. 9. Malformation leading to absence of thymus, leading to deficient T cell maturation.
  6. 13. Tissue graft where the donor is of the same species, but genetically not identical.
  7. 14. Type IV hypersensitivity reaction; Examples include contact dermatitis, type 1 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease.
  8. 15. Special stain used to detect amyloid in tissues.
  9. 17. Type II hypersensitivity reaction; examples include Grave disease and erythroblastosis fetalis.
  10. 21. Association with system sclerosis, may precede other symptoms in 70% of cases.
  11. 23. Reservoirs of HIV infection in late-stage disease.
  12. 26. Process by which self-reacting cells are removed from circulation or inactivated.
  13. 28. Antibodies against this protein are specific for rheumatoid arthritis.
  14. 29. Secreted antibody, found in saliva, mucous, breast milk, serum, intestinal fluid.
  15. 34. Characterized by very low CD4 + T cells, high viral load, and opportunistic infections.
  16. 35. Rejection reaction that occurs immediately upon reperfusion of blood through graft tissue, mediated by IgM antibodies for blood group antigens - uncommon.
  17. 36. Differentiate into plasma cells in order to produce large quantities of antibodies.
  18. 40. Type cleft observed in biopsy sections of pemphigus vulgaris.
  19. 41. Mass of edematous synovium, inflammatory cells, and granulation tissue in the joint space of patients affected by rheumatoid arthritis.
  20. 43. Aggregates of abnormal fibrils composed of misfolded proteins in beta-pleated sheet conformation.
  21. 44. Rejection reaction occurring days-weeks post-transplant, mediated by host T cells activated by alloantigens in the graft.
  22. 46. Hereditary defect characterized by absent or decreased B cells.
  23. 48. RNA retrovirus
  24. 50. Clinical finding that can mark the transition to AIDS.
  25. 51. Caused by HHV8, strongly associated with HIV infection.
  26. 52. Ragged oral ulcerations, fishnet-appearing direct immunofluorescence, serology positive for anti-desmoglein 1&3.
  27. 53. Ex: lymph nodes, spleen, mucosal tissue; antigen processing centers where T and B cells can be exposed to high numbers of antigens.
  28. 54. Kill tumor and viral cells without prior sensitization.
  29. 55. A characteristic skin finding in systemic lupus erythematosus.
  30. 56. Antibodies against this protein are specific for systemic sclerosis.
Down
  1. 1. Rejection reaction occurring over months-years that results in interstitial fibrosis and narrowing of graft blood vessels.
  2. 3. Antibody that functions in allergies & parasitic infection.
  3. 5. Inflammation, antiviral defense, stimulates adaptive immune response.
  4. 7. Type III hypersensitivity reaction; examples include glomerulonephritis, rheumatoid arthritis, SLE.
  5. 8. Most common antibody, crosses placenta.
  6. 10. Desquamative gingivitis, intact oral vesicles, diagnosis by positive direct immunofluorescence.
  7. 11. Most common primary immune disease, usually asymptomatic.
  8. 12. Antibody of mystery.
  9. 16. Pathologic condition associated with hematopoeitic stem cell transplantation, acute & chronic forms, often oral involvement.
  10. 17. T cells and B cells are components.
  11. 18. Most efficient antigen-presenting cell (APC)
  12. 19. Autoimmune disease with a highly variable presentation, characterized by the production of multiple autoantibodies, including antibodies against dsDNA and Sm.
  13. 20. Finding on tongue strongly associated with HIV infection.
  14. 22. Typical prognosis for generalized amyloidosis.
  15. 24. Region of U.S. with the highest risk of HIV contraction.
  16. 25. Type of cleft observed in biopsy sections of mucous membrane pemphigoid.
  17. 27. Coreceptor necessary for HIV entry into T cells.
  18. 30. Xerostomia, parotid enlargement, keratoconjunctivitis, increase risk for lymphoma.
  19. 31. Secreted proteins that mediate immune and inflammatory reactions.
  20. 32. Scar tissue formation between bulbar and palpebral conjunctiva seen in MMP.
  21. 33. Viral protein of HIV that attaches to CD4 on T cells to gain entry into the cell.
  22. 37. Releases vasoactive amines, lipid mediators, cytokines when encountering an antigen for which it has been sensitized.
  23. 38. Area of the world with the greatest number of HIV-infected individuals.
  24. 39. Tissue graft where the donor is the same as the recipient.
  25. 42. Type of amyloidosis associated with a variety of underlying inflammatory conditions, better prognosis, tx involves managing underlying condition.
