Q

What is the mechanism of hypersensitivity 1?

A
  1. Th2 cells with cytokine IL-4
  2. trigger class switch in B cells
  3. IgE circulating binds FceR1 on MAST Cells and leads to activation of mast cell
  4. cross linking signal increases mast cell degranulation
  5. mediators increase inflammation

Q

What are the mechanisms of Hypersensitivity 2? (2 main)

A
  1. Complement-mediated (cytotoxic)
    • Opsonization ( increase in C3a / C5a or recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells )
    - ENHANCES Phagocytosis (via FcRy / CR1 receptors)

2.Non-cytotoxic
• Change in physiologic behavior of a cell

Q

Good pasture syndrome..

  • type of sensitivity?
  • mechanism?
A
  1. Type 2
  2. Ab binds protein in kidney glomeruli and lungs (cytotoxic ;complement/ Fc receptors)
  3. nephritis and lung hemmorhage
17
Q

Rheumatic Fever..

  • type of sensitivity?
  • mechanism?
  • sxs
A
  1. Type 2
  2. Ab binds strep cell wall Ag (cytotoxic; phagocytosis)
  3. myocarditis
18
Q

What is Type 3 hypersensitivity?

A

Complement-mediated recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells resulting in some combination of arthritis, vasculitis and/or nephritis.

19
Q

How does quinidine work ?

A

binds C3b —> to RBC—> hemolytic anemia

20
Q

How does alpha-methyldopa work?

A

binds directly to RBC self Ag—-> hemolysis . (phagocytosis)

21
Q

Systemic Lupus and inflammation response ?

A

nephritis, vasculitis , arthritis

22
Q

Poststreptoccoal Glomuleronephritis and inflammation response ?

A

nephritis

23
Q

Serum Sickness and inflammation response ?

A

SYSTEMIC vasculitis/ nephritis due to immune complex build up in circulation

24
Q

Arthrus Reaction and inflammation response ?

A

LOCAL vasculitis , immune complex build up in local area

25
Q

What is (2) mechanisms of type 4 hypersensitivity ?

A 
Cytokine-mediated tissue damage
• T cell IFN-y activation of macrophage
• IL-17 recruitment and activation of neutrophil 
Direct killing
• CTL-mediated cellular death
26
Q

Which T cells are involved in DTH ?

A

Th1 and Th17

27
Q

What are two major triggers of Hypersensitivity 4?

A
  1. M tuberculosis

2. contact by poison ivy, metals, chemicals

28
Q

What is the principle difference between type II and type III hypersensitivity?

a. whether Ab reacts with Ag on cell or reacts with Ag before it interacts with cell
b. the class isotoype of Ab
c. the participation of complement
d. the participation of T cells

A

A.

Type 2 deals with Ab binding to cell surface or ECM Ag

Type 3 involves Immune complex formation before interaction with cell

29
Q

two important properties of allergens?

A
  1. binds with specificity to IgE

2. can bind IgE with LOW concentration (low threshhold)
