Q

Hepatitis B serology testing involves four specific markers to determine a patient’s infection or immunity status.
HBsAg
Anti-HBs
Anti-HBc
IgM anti-HBc
IgG anti-HBc

A

HBsAg: Indicates infectious hepatitis B virus

Anti-HBs: Indicates immunity to hepatitis B

Anti-HBc: Indicates natural immunity or recovery from HBV

IgM anti-HBc: Indicates acute HBV infection

IgG anti-HBc: Indicates chronic or recovered HBV

Q

Type 1 : what antibodies and example

A

Type I hypersensitivity reactions are mediated by IgE antibodies which cause mast and basophil cell degranulation. These cells release histamine and other vasoactive compounds which are responsible for the acute symptoms of an allergic reaction. Examples include asthma and dermatitis.

Q

Type 2 hypersensitivity reaction and examples

A

Type II hypersensitivity reactions are IgM and IgG-mediated and trigger complement activation which leads to cell and tissue damage. Examples include pemphigus and mucous membrane pemphigoid.

Q

Type 4 hypersensitivity and examples

A

Type IV hypersensitivity reactions are cell-mediated, where the body’s own CD4 and CD8 T-cells develop strong responses to antigens. Examples include lichen planus and recurrent aphthous stomatitis

Q

Type 3 hypersensitivity and examples

A

Type III hypersensitivity reactions are immune complex-mediated. These immune complexes deposit themselves in tissues such as the skin, kidney or joints, as seen in systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.

Q

difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes

A

Type I diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune disorder that causes β-cell destruction and insulin deficiency.
Type II diabetes mellitus is caused by β-cells dysfunction and is associated with obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and insulin resistance.
