Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response

7.6K
Cytotoxic T cells are a vital component of the immune system. They have the remarkable ability to identify and target antigens on infected or abnormal cells. These antigens often originate from intracellular pathogens such as viruses or abnormal proteins cancer cells produce.
Immunological surveillance is the ability of immune cells to monitor and eliminate infected cells with intracellular pathogens, neoplastically transformed cells, and cells with non-self antigens. Cytotoxic T cells and NK...

Standing Waves

5.5K
Sometimes waves do not seem to move; rather, they just vibrate in place. Unmoving waves can be seen on the surface of a glass of milk kept in a refrigerator, which is one example of standing waves. Vibrations from the refrigerator motor create waves on the milk that oscillate up and down but do not seem to move across the surface. These waves are formed or created by the superposition of two or more identical moving waves in opposite directions. The waves move through each other, with their...

Modes of Standing Waves - I

4.1K
A close look at earthquakes provides evidence for the conditions appropriate for resonance, standing waves, and constructive and destructive interference. A building may vibrate for several seconds with a driving frequency matching the building's natural frequency of vibration; this produces a resonance that results in one building collapsing while the neighboring buildings do not. Often, buildings of a certain height are devastated, while other taller buildings remain intact. This...

Modes of Standing Waves: II01:04

Modes of Standing Waves: II

1.8K
The starting point for expressing the modes of standing waves is understanding the boundary conditions that the waves must follow. The boundary conditions are derived from the physical understanding of how the standing waves are sustained, that is, how the vibrating particles of the medium behave at the boundaries imposed on them.
For a tube open at one end and closed at the other filled with air, the modes are such that there is always an antinode at the open end and a node at the closed end....

Standing Waves in a Cavity01:28

Standing Waves in a Cavity

1.5K
A household microwave and lasers are examples of standing electromagnetic waves in a cavity. When two conducting metal plates are placed parallel at the nodal planes, it creates a cavity where standing waves are formed. The cavity between the two planes is analogous to a stretched string held at the points x = 0 and x = L. Here, the distance 'L' between the two planes must be an integer multiple of half of the wavelength. The wavelengths that satisfy this condition are given by:

Summary

Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathies (IMNMs) are autoimmune muscle diseases causing weakness. Diagnosis involves specific autoantibodies and muscle biopsy, often requiring advanced treatments like IVIG or rituximab.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Immunology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathies (IMNMs) are acquired autoimmune muscle disorders.
  • Characterized by proximal muscle weakness, elevated creatinine kinase, and electromyogram (EMG) findings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To differentiate IMNM from other Idiopathic Inflammatory Myositis (IIM) subgroups.
  • To highlight diagnostic markers and treatment challenges in IMNM.

Main Methods:

  • Muscle biopsy analysis showing myofiber necrosis and regeneration without significant lymphocytic infiltration.
  • Detection of anti-signal recognition particle (SRP) and anti-3hydroxy-3 methylglutarylcoenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) autoantibodies.

Main Results:

  • IMNM is distinguished by specific histopathological features on muscle biopsy.
  • Anti-SRP and anti-HMGCR autoantibodies are present in two-thirds of IMNM patients.
  • IMNM shows resistance to conventional immunosuppressive therapies.

Conclusions:

  • IMNM diagnosis relies on clinical presentation, EMG, muscle biopsy, and autoantibody profiles.
  • Treatment resistance necessitates alternative therapies, including Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) and rituximab.
