• Innate immune response – first line of defense against an antigenic
insult. Includesdefenses like physical (skin), Biochemical (complement, lysozyme,
interferons)cellular components (neutrophils, monocytes,macrophages).
• Adaptive immune responsea) Humoral immunity - Antibody production –killing extracellular organisms.b) Cell mediated immunity – cytotoxic / killer Tcells – killing virus and tumour cells.

ABNORMAL IMMUNERESPONSE
• Hypersensitivity reactionsType 1 – Anaphylactic shockType 2 – mismatched blood transfusionType 3 – Serum Sickness,
glomerulonephritis and arthritis.Type 4 – TB, leishmaniasis.

Autoimmunity – Autoimmune diseases arisewhen the body mounts an immune responseagainst itself as a result of failure to
distinguish self tissues and cells from foreign antigens.
Rheumatoid Arthritis, S.L.E, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, Multiple Sclerosis etc….
• Immunodeficiency Diseasesa) Congenital – Di George’s syndrome, SCID
due to ADA deficiency.b) Extrinsic – HIV causing AIDS.

CALCINEURIN INHIBITORS• Calcineurin (CN) is a protein phosphatase
activates the T cells of the immune system and can be blocked by drugs.
Cyclosporine –
– bind to the cytosolic protein cyclophilin (an immunophilin) of immunocompetent lymphocytes, especially T-lymphocytes. This complex of ciclosporin and cyclophilin inhibits the phosphatase calcineurin, which under normal circumstances induces the transcription of interleukin-2.
The drug also inhibits lymphokine production and interleukin release, leading to a reduced function of effector T-cells.

Tacrolimus ( FK 506, Prograf )– It binds to the immunophilin FKBP1A,
followed by the binding of the complex to calcineurin and the inhibition of its phosphatase activity. In this way, it prevents the cell from transitioning from the G0 into G1 phase of the cell cycle. Tacrolimus is more potent than ciclosporin and has less pronounced side-effects.
Use-Prophylaxis of solid-organ allograft
rejection –Topical preparation available for use in
atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.

Sirolimus (rapamycin, trade name Rapamune) Contrary to ciclosporin and tacrolimus,
drugs that affect the first phase of T lymphocyte activation, sirolimus affects the second one( namely signal transduction and lymphocyte clonal proliferation).
It binds to FKBP1A like tacrolimus, however the complex does not inhibit calcineurin but another protein, mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin ).
![Page 23: IMMUNOMODULATORS Dr. Ahmed M. Alafeefy. The Immune Response - why and how ? Discriminate: Self / Non self Destroy: Infectious invaders Dysregulated self.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d305503460f94a083c6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
It indirectly inhibits several T lymphocyte-specific kinases and phosphatases, hence preventing their transition from G1 to S phase of the cell cycle.
Sirolimus prevents B cell differentiation into plasma cells,
reducing production of IgM, IgG, and IgA antibodies.

Azathioprine (Imuran )the main immunosuppressive cytotoxic
substance. It is nonenzymatically cleaved to mercaptopurine, that acts as a purine analogue and an inhibitor of DNA synthesis.
By preventing the clonal expansion of lymphocytes in the induction phase of the immune response, it affects both the cell and the humoral immunity.

Cytokine release syndromeis a common immediate complication
occurring with the use of anti-T cell antibody infusions such as ATG, OKT3
The pathogenesis is that the antibodies bind to the T cell receptor, activating the T cells before they are destroyed. The cytokines released by the activated T cells produce a type of systemic inflammatory response similar to that found in severe infection characterised by hypotension, pyrexia and rigors.
the cytokine release syndrome is effectively a type of non-infective fever.

Capillary leak syndrome(systemic capillary leak syndrome or
Clarkson syndrome) A rare medical condition where the
number and size of the pores in the capillaries are increased which leads to a leakage of fluid from the blood to the interstitial fluid, resulting in dangerously low blood pressure (hypotension), edema and multiple organ failure due to limited perfusion.
