TSLP from epithelial and keratinocytes warn of bacteria

Epithelial and keratinocytes produce TSLP when infected.

TSLP stimulates langerhans cells and dendritic cells.
There are two isoforms of TSLP: a long and a short

The long form which appears with atopic dermatitis  (staph) simulates the myeloid dendritic cell to produce il-23 while the short form which appears with celiac disease (e.coli) stimulates Langerhans dendritic cells.

il-13 appears with bacterial infections that move inside of host cells.  Visible bacteria or parasites that stay outside of host cells trigger il-4 pathways

Is autoimmune triggered paralysis caused by enteroviruses, Natural killer cells, and GM gangliosides?

Autoimmune cross-targeting hypothesis: two infections on one target tissue with one inside and one outside triggers autoimmunity.  Typically the outer larger infection is the one stopped and the attack on the internal viral infection is continued.

But what if when enteroviruses infect the ER involving the Natural Killer cells  the entroviruses are stopped first?

Here are my suspects (unproven)

Nodding disease: T. Brucei and polio live vaccine
Epilepsy: T gondii/t.cruzi/malaria and enterovirus
Absent seizure: mycoplasma polio or enterovirus
Guillain Barre: Campylobacter jejune and coxsackie
AFM/Hopkins: Staph and D68
peripheral neuropathy: e.coli and coxsackie

AFM and staph not just virus
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4536609/

Do autoimmune diseases involving enteroviruses involve the stopping of Natural killer cells? Instead stopping the attack on the large infection the immune system stops this pathway?

How does the immune system stop NK cells?

Ganglioside antibodies are found in Guillain Barre and peripheral neuropathy so are they involved with stopping the NK cells?

so the reason for the formation of anti-ganglioside antibodies according to the Cross-targeting hypothesis is that the immune system can only deal with one infection at a time.  Enteroviruses which  infect the ER and trigger NK cells are shut down so that the immune system can focus on the bacterial infection. The problem is that the anti-ganglioside does more than block NK from seeing GM2. Thus the paralysis.

Combining the T gammadelta hypothesis with the autoimmune cross-targeting hypothesis.

The T gamma delta hypothesis was that Tgd function like B cells to produce gamma delta antibodies against lipid antigens which get confused with the IgG1 of B cells.    What is important is the idea that these are completely different immune system "couples". Instead of T and B it is NKT and T gamma delta.

Surmised cytokines



In order to create IgG4 the B cell must switch T cell partners and see a different cytokine. There is confusion and mixing. Tfh making il-4 for the outer antigens of E.coli while at the same time Tc would be making il-10? 


Possible? 

Can we show that these are Gamma delta antibodies and not IgG1?


Just for fun : IgG gamma delta mycobacteria (cytosol lipid infection)
                      IgG gamma delta Bacteria ( visible lipid  infection )
                      IgG gamma delta virus (lipid coat)
I just made this up....right now they are all lumped together as IgG1

3 different gamma delta elements in the T gamma delta receptor

cd1.b on macrophages (cdl.b induced by il-4)
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9175583

So cdl.c and cdl.b  both end up producing the IgG gamma delta B ?

Correction on Cytokines and B cells becoming plasma cells and producing antibodies


I had il-4 as always with il-21 inducing B Cells but that didn't make sense because the B cell needed to know who it's T cell parter in order to make the correct antibody. Further the production of  IgG4 with a partner switch supports the Autoimmune Cross-targeting Hypothesis.



Possible? Are the cytokines matched up correctly?

Note that insulin creates IgG1, growth hormone creates IgA dimer, and IGF-1 creates IgE. 

Does that mean that the IgG4 goes against the hormone in control first? anti-insulin, anti-GH, anti-IGF-1?  unless it is a vacuole bacteria or fungal? Then it is IgG4 to neutrophils ? "ANCA" ?

Two types of CTL: CTL-Fas with cytosol viral infections and CTL-TCR with nuclear or mitochondrial infections.

Hypothesis: A cytosolic virus triggers the TH pathway with il-2 primed CTL which uses Fas to destroy cells.  This can be seen in Type one diabetes where the cytosolic flu virus can trigger the disease,  The nuclear virus HBV triggers the the Tc pathway where il-21 primes the CTL to kill using it's TCR which looks into the MHC1 of cells. This Tc pathway also involves TH17 cells to pop the nuclear membrane with il-26 and then il-17F to call CTL.

Eosinophils hypothesis



Appears that there are 5 types of eosinophils

Complement Eosinophils : C1q,  C3b/C4b, iC3b receptors : Bacteria : granulation

GM-CSF Eosinophils : Low affinity cd32 FcgammaR2 (IgG receptor) : vacuole Bacteria : granulation

il-5 Eosinophils :  cd89 Fc alpha R1(IgA receptor) : Parasites: granulation

il-3 Eosinophils : Fc epsilon R1 (IgE receptor) high affinity:
                              Fc epsilon low affinity receptor

 Viral Eosinophils that contain RNases

il-4 seems involved with antigens outside of the house cell while il-13 seems involved with antigens of the cytosol (visible parasite vs. one that moves into the cytosol of the host cell.
