Tolerance and Autoimmunity
Chapter 14
Tolerance
zTolerance (immune paralysis, immune unresponsiveness) - the state of unresponsiveness to an immunogen (tolerogen)(tolerogen).zSelf-tolerance - the inability of the body
to respond to autologous antigens
Characteristics of Tolerance
zTolerance is an active antigen-dependent process in response to an antigen.zTolerance is specific and can exist in T-cells,
B cells or both.B cells or both.{Tolerance at the T cell level is longer lasting
than tolerance at the B cell level.{Induction of tolerance in T cells is easier and
requires relatively smaller amounts of tolerogen than tolerance in B cells
zMaintenance of immunological tolerance requires persistence of antigen.z Tolerance can be broken naturally (autoimmune
diseases) or artificially (shown in experimental animals by x irradiation certain drug treatmentsanimals, by x-irradiation, certain drug treatments and by exposure to cross reactive antigens).z Tolerance may be induced to all epitopes or only
some epitopes on an antigen and tolerance to a single antigen may exist at the B cell level or T cell level or at both levels.
Factors Affect Response to Ag
Favor Immune Response Favor Tolerance
Physical form Ag large, aggregated, complex molecules
soluble, aggregate-free, smaller, less complex molecules
Route Ag administration sub-cutaneous or intramuscular
oral or sometimes intravenous
Dose Ag optimal dose very large (or sometime very small) dosevery small) dose
Age animal older and immunologically mature
Newborn (mice), immunologically immature
Differentiation state cells fully differentiated cells; memory T and memory B cells
relatively undifferentiated: B cells with only IgM (no IgD), T cells (e.g. cells in thymic cortex)
Explanations for Tolerance
z Clonal abortion (deletion){ Immature cells encountering self-ag undergo negative
selection-programmed cell deathzT cells that bind to self-ag in thymuszB cells expressing only IgM exposed to self-agzB cells expressing only IgM exposed to self ag
z Clonal anergy (lack of response){T cells exposed to ag without co-stimulatory B7 {B cells exposed large amounts soluble ag
z Clonal ignorance {T cells reactive to sequestered antigen die due to lack of
stimulation{B cells dont find ag or have Th cell so cant react-die
-
2z T-cell suppression{ Low and high doses of ag may induce suppressor T cells{Suppress T and B cells
z Receptor editing {B cells encounter large amounts soluble ag, bind with low
affinityaffinity{May recombine genes changing specificity
z Balance between Th1 and Th2 cells (see p 213 in book){Th1 cells implicated as primary mediators in autoimmunity
because release proinflammatory cytokinesz Anti-idiotype antibodies{Antibodies to idiotypes (in sIg or TCR){May combine to receptors blocking reaction with ag- inhibits
immune response
Autoimmunity: Definitions
z Autoimmunity{Breakdown of immune system's ability to
discriminate between self and non-self (tolerance){Res lts in generation of self reacti e clones of T or B{Results in generation of self-reactive clones of T or B
cells.
z Autoimmune disease{ Immunoglobulins (autoantibodies) and/or sensitized
T cells displaying specificity for self-antigens cause damage to cells or organs.
Factors Influencing Development
zGenetic{Familial aggregates {More than one disorder {HLA association {More frequent women{More frequent women.
z Age { Increases with age.
z Exogenous Factors {UV radiation, drugs, viruses, chronic infections
Mechanisms of Autoimmunityz Sequestered antigen theory{Tissue antigens are sequestered (hidden) during
neonatal period (no tolerance){Due to injury; viral infection, etc. antigen gets
into circulation, autoantibodies formed.z Altered antigens (body constituents) {Surface antigens on host altered by chemical, g y ,
biological, or physical means.{New antigenic determinant may be recognized
as foreign.z Cross Reactivity/Molecular mimicry{Microorganisms have ag determinants identical or
similar to normal host-cell components{Antibodies produced to determinants on
microorganism cross react with self antigens
Anti-M protein
Cross reactive ag on heart
Strept with M proteins
Rheumatic fever
Inappropriate expression of Class II molecules Class II molecules expressed on the surface of cells
where not normally found Cell can then function as APC, present self-antigens,
which sensitize Th resulting in activation of B or Tc cells.
-
3z Cytokine imbalance {Unregulated cytokine production may initiate
autoimmunity by various mechanisms{Ex. Increasing MHC expression
z Polyclonal B-cell activation {Certain viruses and bacteria can induce
nonspecific polyclonal B-cell activation (ex. EBV, CMV).{If B cells reactive to self-antigens are activated,
autoantibodies can appear.z Disturbance of Th1/Th2 balance{Th1 cells implicated in autoimmunity{Th2 protect against induction of disease and
progression of established disease.
zLoss of immunoregulatory function by T-cell subsets {T suppressor cellszMay prevent immune response to self-antigen.zIf Ts cells removed response to antigen can occurzIf Ts cells removed, response to antigen can occur.
{T helper cellszDeletion of Th cells may prevent response to self-
antigen. zAlternate signal may be provided which stimulates B
cell to respond
zForbidden clone theory{A clone of changed or altered lymphocytes
arises through mutation.{These cells lack foreign surface antigens and
are not destroyed by host.{Because of alteration may recognize host as
foreign.

and Plotz)and Plotz)zNephelometryzEnzyme linked immunosorbent assay
(ELISA)
Passive hemagglutination (Rose-Waaler)
zPrinciple- sheep blood cells coated with rabbit IgG (anti-sheep rbcs) (ag) are mixed with serum. If RF (ab) is present hemagglutination occurshemagglutination occurs.zSpecificity = 90%zSensitivity = 50%
Latex Agglutination (Singer and Plotz)

Human IgG
Rheumatoid Factor
Nephelometry
z Principle- IgG (ag) (in excess) is mixed with serum. If RF (ab) is present, it will combine with IgG forming immune complexes. The immune complexes scatter light. The rate of light scatter is determined by the nephelometer. z Specificity = 96%z Sensitivity = ~82%z Advantages- automated, better sensitivity and
specificity, newer tests can detect all classes z Disadvantage- detects mostly IgM RFs
ELISAz Principle- IgG (or Fc portion) (Ag) is attached to
solid phase. Serum is added. If RF (ab) is present it will attach to IgG. After washing, ab to RF (anti-IgM, IgG, IgA, etc) labeled with enzyme is added. After additional washing, the substrate is added. A colored reaction occurs in proportion to the amount of RF in the serum. Color is read on a spectrophotometer.z Specificity = 94%z Sensitivity = ~85%z Advantages- more sensitive and specific
traditional tests, automated, can be modified to detect other classes of RF.

zPrinciple - Tanned sheep erythrocytes (SRBC) are coated with extract of rabbit thymus containing Sm and RNP antigens. A portion of the cells are incubated with RNAse to selectivelyincubated with RNAse to selectively remove RNP antigen. A passive hemagglutination test is performed in a microtiter system, using parallel dilutions of the patients serum against both untreated and RNAse treated cells.

Ouchterlony Double Diffusion
z Principle - A solution of extractible nuclear antigens is placed in central well of an agarose plate. Patient samples and controls are placed in surrounding wells (such that each patient is next to a control). Antigens and antibodies diffuse through the agarose and form a visible line of precipitate (line of identity with control) if sample contains antibodies to any of antigens present. No precipitate forms in absence of specific antibody.
