32
Diagnosis of type 1 hypersensitivity are 2 kinds ,name them and mechanism
1. Allergy skin test --> determine causative allergen 2. Allergy blood tests --> measurement of lgE in serum

Allergy skin test is a diagnosis processe that test allergen of ___,____,_____
Penicillin يستخدم قبل ما اعطي المريض الحقنه ، أتأكد اذا عنده حساسية ولا لأ Pollens , food
34
Metod of allergy skin test
Pricking the skin in forearm or back with sterile lancet containing drop of allergen يارب ما تكون نسيت شو نوع allergen إلي نحطه على المريض في حالة allergy skin test
35
+ve result of allergy skin test
Wheal and flare reaction within 15 to 20 min
36
Allergy blood tests measure lgE in serum by two ways name them
Total lgE by RIA : high in some allergic patients Specific lgE by RAST : يستخدم ضد certain allergen جيب الفلفورم تبعها ، والله مو صعب
37
Management of type 1 hypersensitivity
Identify and avoiding allergen if possible Drugs Immunotherapy
38
Name drugs that prevent release or effect of chemical mediator in type 1 hypersensitivity
1. Epinephrine ( best immediate treatment for anaphylactic shock ) 2. Corticosteroids 3. Mast cell stabilize ( prevent Degranulation)
39
Example for mast cell stabilizer
Na cromoglycate
40
العلاج بالمناعة هو
Immunotherapy
41
Bind to Fc of lgE prevent lgE from binding to mast cell
Monoclonal Ab or anti lgE , by this way we can prevent 1st exposure
42
What is the goal of allergy specific immunotherapy or desensitization
Decrease lgE and increase lgG titers
43
When we use desensitization?
Failure of medication to control allergy symptoms مثل شخص كل ما يجي فصل الربيع تزيد حساسيته من pollen
44
Method of allergy specific immunotherapy
Repeated injection of small doses of allergen 1. Decreases th2 domination that decreases lL4,5 that decreases lgE 2. Increases th1 response that increase IFN GAMA that lgG( blocking Ab) 3. Increases t reg response that inhibit th2 4. Tolerance in t cell specific to allergen هبد
45
Type 2 hypersensitivity is also called
Cytotoxic or cytolytic type (lgG,lgM mediated)
46
What are the mechanism of type 2 hypersensitivity
A. Formation of lgG and lgM against Ag on cell surface B. Ab binds to Ag on cell surface C. Mechanism of tissue damage
47
In type 2 hypersensitivity mechanism, Formation of lgG or IgM against Ag on self or foreign cells Ag of self cells _____ or ______(___) Due to failure of tolerance _____(attach drug) or ______(exogenous) Ag of Foreign cell (exogenous) _______ &_______
Self protein , receptor (endogenous) Hapten ( attach drug) Organism Allogenic RBC Ags " graft cells
48
Mechanism of tissue damage are _______&______
Lysis of cell by cytotoxic Abs Interference with cell functions ومثال على ذلك Graves disease Myasthenia Gravis
49
tissue damage occur in type 2 hypersensitivity Lysis of cell by cytotoxic Abs by 3 ways name them
Complement activation , killing by Mac (c5b6789) اي الشطارة دي Opsonization ADCC مش لازم اكتب امثله لأنها واضحة ومتكررة
50
Tissue damage in type 2 hypersensitivity is interference with cell functions , what is that ?
Binding of Ab to cellular receptors --> stimulation or blocking of receptor في مثال جميل على دا هو Graves disease و myasthenia Gravis
51
Clinical presentation of type 2 hypersensitivity are
Allohemolysis Autoimmune hemolysis , thrombocytopenia, granulocytopenia
52
How Interference with cell functions occur ?
Binding of Ab to cellular receptors causing stimulation or blocking of receptors
53
What is the meaning of allogenic ?
Different Ag from an individual in the same species , his Ag could be blood or even stem cells
54
Allohemolysis is a clinical presentation of type 2 hypersensitivity, name its kinds
ABO incompatibility Rh incompatibility(Rh factor or D Ag)
55
What is ABO incompatibility?
Comments why for transfusion reaction If a person with A+ve is tranfused(نقل إليه) with B+ve RBCs preexisting (natural) antiB lgM rapidly hemolyse( تقتل او انحلال الدم) RBCs in circulation by complement activation
56
What is the mechanism of Rh incompatibility?
Fetal Rh +ve( ليش البيبي عنده ار اش موجب ، لأن ورثه من ابوه) leak into Rh -ve mother circulation(قصدو الدورة الدموية) during birth of 1st child ---> this reaction sensitive mother to produce lgG ام شريرة --> ln second pregnancies lgG that was produced in first pregnancy cross placenta and destroy fetal RBCs --> still birth or erythroblastosis or jaundice
57
How we prevent lgG killing RBCs of fetal?
Anti D or anti RH+ve injection is given to the mother within 72 hour of 1st delivery of Rh+ baby (الممرضة البطلة رح تعطي الجرعة للأم أو ما تولد البيبي) --> neutralize or destroy any leaking fetal RBCs in mother circulation during baby delivery --> no + of mother immune system
58
How we can treat a mother with rh-ve and her fetal with rh+ve RBCs
By exchange transfusion ( it also may happen in uterus)
59
Autoimmune hemolysis destruction of
Hemolysis of self RBCs
60
Throm'bo-cyto-penia is the destruction of
Self platelets
61
Granu-lo-cyto-penia I the destruction of
Self granulocytes
62
How auto immune against RBCs , platelets, granules (وهذه كلها self cells) occur ?
Abs called acto Abs attack patient own Ags
63
Autoimmune hemolysis , thrombocytopenia, granulocytopenia , e.g for drug(happten)
Drags like penicillin may bind to Ags on RBCs or platelets --> production of cytotoxic Abs to cell-frug complex E.g hemolytic anemia by penicillin
64
Name other clinical presentation of type 2 hypersensitivity
Disease due to affection of cell receptor [ type 5 hypersensitivity] Good pasture syndrome Rheumatic fever Hyperacute & acute graft rejection
65
E.g for disease due to affection of cell receptor
+ of receptor Graves disease - of receptor Myasthenia Gravis
66
What is Graves disease?
When pituitary gland produces TSH to stimulate thyroid gland , thyroid gland associated with TSH receptor will coat with TSH and the thyroid gland will be + and secrete T3 and T4 But when immune system produces Abs in excess way (بطريقة مفرطة) that bind to TSH receptor that + thyroid gland to produce more and more T3,T4 ---> hyperthyroidism إفراط الغدة الدرقية
67
What is Myasthenia Gravis الوهن العضلي?
At nerve ending, nerve produce ACh(اسيتاي كولين) that bind to receptors on muscles called ACh receptors . But when immune system produce lgG that bind to ACh receptors and - it paralysis الشلل occur
68
When lgG and lgM is non cytotoxic Abs ?
وهن العضلات القاتل و Gravis disease
69
good pasture مثال على مريض
يتعذب في دنيتو بسبب Renal failur and RT failure
70
What is good pasture syndrome
IgG auto Abs ( failure of tolerance) bind to non collagenous proteins(dr: لازم تكونوا اخذتوه في الفسيولوجي) in basement members ( احفظو كده) of lung alveoli and kidney glomeruli ( شوف الشعر ده)
71
What is heterophile Abs ?
Specific for one or epitope on different Ags
