Cards

Term
inhibits enzyme required for synthesis of purines (adenine and guanine)
Definition
Azathioprine
Term
inhibits purine and thymidine synthesis through inhibiting enzymes
Definition
Methotrexate
Term
inhibits DNA synthesis by blocking de nove (from new) guanine synthesis
Definition
Mycophenolate
Term
pro-drug gets converted in liver to alkylating agent--> binds to DNA and cross-links it--> prevents DNA replication and protein production
Definition
Cyclophosphamide and Chlorambucil
Term
prevent proliferation or kill rapidly-dividing cells; target actively dividing cells
Definition
Cytotoxic and Anti-proliferative Immunosuppressive Drugs
Term
Block T cell activation and proliferation by inhibiting IL-2; work by binding immunophilins-->cyclophilin and FK-BP
Definition
Cytostatic Drugs
Term
inhibits T cell activation by blocking IL-2 production
Definition
Cyclosporine A (CSA)
Term
Inhibits Calcineurin activation
Definition
Tacrolimus
Term
Blocks signals from IL-2 receptor in T cells; often over-expressed in cancer cells
Definition
Sirolimus
Term
more specific for immune cells, selective for T cells, less hematotoxic, myelotoxic
Definition
cytostatic drugs
Term
all specific for same epitope/antigeon; antigen specificity is high, cross reactions are low
Definition
monoclonal antibodies (mAb)
Term
fusion proteins
Definition
soluble receptors
Term
can opsonize, fix C, ADCC < block
Definition
Whole mAB drugs
Term
can block, can deliver cytotoxic conjugates to target cell; better tissue penetration and less immunogenic
Definition
Fab, or fab2 fragments (mAb drugs)
Term
mo
Definition
mouse
Term
xi
Definition
chimeric
Term
zu
Definition
humanized
Term
u
Definition
human
Term
mab
Definition
end of word
Term
destroys T cells: recognizes CD3, causes T cell to be opsonized
Definition
Muromomab
Term
fully mouse mAb
Definition
Muromomab
Term
serves as spong by binding TNF alpha which sequesters it and prevents it from activating TNF alpha receptors
Definition
Etanercept
Term
binding TNF alpha to block it (chimeric mAb)
Definition
Infliximab
Term
binding TNF alpha to block it from binding its receptors (human mAb)
Definition
Adalimumab
Term
Pegylated humanized fab to TNF alpha; Fab fragment is able to block TNF alpha
Definition
Certolizumab
Term
recombinant form of a naturally occuring IL-1 receptor antagonist
Definition
Anakinra
Term
humanized mAb binds IL-6 receptor to keep IL-6 from binding
Definition
Toclizumab
