| − | ==Introduction==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Like any system in the body the immune system can go wrong. Autoimmunity is when the immune system begins to attack itself. Immunodeficiency is when the immune system fails to protect itself from disease.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If the immunodeficient defect is present at birth and is therefore a result of a genetic or developmental abnormality, it is called primary immunodeficiency.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Secondary immunodeficiency, soemtimes called aquired immunodeficiency, is the loss of immune function during life, caused by exposure to harmful agents.

| − | | |
| − | ====Canine Cyclic Haematopoiesis====
| |
| − | *Also called '''Grey Collie Syndrome'''
| |
| − | *Autosomal recessive
| |
| − | *Insertion mutation in AP3B1 gene
| |
| − | *Diluted grey coat colour, stunted growth, poor wound healing
| |
| − | *Neutropenia every 2 weeks which lasts 3-4 days due to cyclic production of cells from bone marrow
| |
| − | *Recurrent infections, e.g. pyrexia, diarrhoea, gingivitis and arthritis
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Canine Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (CLAD)====
| |
| − | *Occurs in Irish Setters
| |
| − | *Missence mutation of -Cys-36-Ser- in CD18 molecule
| |
| − | **CD18 is required for neutrophil migration and phagocytosis
| |
| − | *Recurrent bacterial infection
| |
| − | *Neutrophilia (neutrophils remain in the blood and are unable to fight infection in the tissue)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Bovine Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (BLAD)====
| |
| − | *Occurs in Holstein cattle
| |
| − | *Missence mutation of -Asp-128-Gly in CD18 molecule
| |
| − | *Recurrent infection, e.g. pneumonia
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Deficiencies of Adaptive Immunity===
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Equine Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (Equine SCID)====
| |
| − | *Autosomal recessive
| |
| − | *Occurs in 2-3% of Arabian foals
| |
| − | *Defect in DNA-dependent protein kinase gene
| |
| − | **Gene codes for a DNA repair enzyme involved in V(D)J recombination for antigen receptors of lymphocytes (e.g. Ig and TCR)
| |
| − | *No functional B or T cells
| |
| − | *Foals develop infections (usually aorund 8 weeks of age as maternal antibody in colostrum wanes around this time)
| |
| − | *Foals usually die from bronchopneumonia
| |

| − | ====Selective IgA deficiency of German Shepherd Dogs====
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Immunodeficiency of Weimaraners====
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Rhinitis/Bronchopneumonia in Irish Wolfhounds====
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Pneumocystis infection in Miniature Dachshunds====
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Severe Combined Deficiency===
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Severe Combined Immune Deficiency(SCID)====
| |
| − | *No functional B or T cells
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Arthymic nude mice (no thymus)====
| |
| − | *No functional T cells
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Knock-out mice====
| |
| − | *E.g. Gene coding for CD4, CD8, IL-10 removed

| |
| − | **Ciclosporin
| |
| − | **Cytoxic cancer therapy
| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | *Malnutrition
