Study Notes
Immunodeficiency Disorders in Animals
- Immunodeficiency disorders encompass various failures in stem cell development, T-cell and B-cell development, immunoglobulin production, phagocytic cell function, and complement molecule production.
- Clinical and historical features of disease suggesting underlying primary immunodeficiency in animals include breed-specific diseases, recurrent infections, chronic infections, failure to respond to standard therapy, and lymphopaenia/hypogammaglobulinaemia.
- Inherited defects in innate immunity include phagocytosis and complement deficiencies.
- Chediak Higashi syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder causing abnormal granulation of neutrophil cytoplasm, leading to increased susceptibility to infection. It is caused by a mutation in the LYST gene and affects various animal species.
- Leukocyte adhesion deficiency is an inherited disorder affecting acute inflammation.
- Pelger-Huet anomaly is an inherited disorder characterized by a failure of granulocyte nuclei to segment into lobes, observed in Arabian horses, cats, and various dog breeds.
- Complement deficiencies include canine C3 deficiency and porcine factor H deficiency, leading to uncontrolled complement pathway activation and renal alterations in affected animals.
- Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is well described in Arabian horses and certain dog breeds, causing a small base pair deletion in the DNA protein kinase gene, leading to a lack of functional T and B cells and overwhelming infection.
- Selective immunoglobulin deficiency has been observed in dogs, horses, and cattle, with German Shepherds being predisposed to a range of infectious disorders.
- Common variable immunodeficiency is characterized by a failure of B cells to make antibodies.
- These disorders have been observed in various animal species, impacting their susceptibility to infections and overall health.
- Understanding these immunodeficiency disorders in animals is crucial for early detection, management, and treatment.
Immunodeficiency Disorders in Animals
- Immunodeficiency disorders encompass various failures in stem cell development, T-cell and B-cell development, immunoglobulin production, phagocytic cell function, and complement molecule production.
- Clinical and historical features of disease suggesting underlying primary immunodeficiency in animals include breed-specific diseases, recurrent infections, chronic infections, failure to respond to standard therapy, and lymphopaenia/hypogammaglobulinaemia.
- Inherited defects in innate immunity include phagocytosis and complement deficiencies.
- Chediak Higashi syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder causing abnormal granulation of neutrophil cytoplasm, leading to increased susceptibility to infection. It is caused by a mutation in the LYST gene and affects various animal species.
- Leukocyte adhesion deficiency is an inherited disorder affecting acute inflammation.
- Pelger-Huet anomaly is an inherited disorder characterized by a failure of granulocyte nuclei to segment into lobes, observed in Arabian horses, cats, and various dog breeds.
- Complement deficiencies include canine C3 deficiency and porcine factor H deficiency, leading to uncontrolled complement pathway activation and renal alterations in affected animals.
- Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is well described in Arabian horses and certain dog breeds, causing a small base pair deletion in the DNA protein kinase gene, leading to a lack of functional T and B cells and overwhelming infection.
