Hypersensitivity Flashcards
(41 cards)
Type 1
Anaphylactic
Type 2
Cytotoxic
Type 3
Immune Complex
Type 4
Delayed/ Cell Mediated
Mediators of Early Type 1
Histamine, Heparin, ECF-A, Neutrophils (IL-8)
Heparin
anticoagulant
Mediators of Late Type 1
Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes, Leukotrienes
Early Phase Type 1
allergen activates B cells, IgM switches to IgE
IgE docks to mast cells and causes degranulation
early mediators released
Late Phase Type 1
2-4 hrs post
release prostaglandins and leukotrienes
Leukotrienes
1000x more potent than histamine
IL-4
drives class switch from IgM to IgE or IgG
IL-5
activates eosinophils
switches IgM to IgA
IL-13
IgE production
mucus secretion in epithelial cells
enhances smooth mm contraction
Early Phase T1 driven by
histamine
Late Phase T1 driven by
leukotrienes and prostaglandins
Manifestations of T1
anaphylaxis, atopy, asthma, rhinitis, hives, angioedema
Triggers for T1
foods
drugs
insects
Difference between eosinophil and mast cell action
worm coated in Ab, eosinophil binds thru Fce receptor
MC have Ab on them and wait for things to collide with them
Mechanism of T2
IgG binds to cell membrane, causing opsonization, inflammation, or cellular dysfunction
Opsonization
cellular destruction
leads to activation of phagocytosis (MAC attack), NK cell killing, and inflammation- necrosis
Cellular Dysfunction
Ab bind and cause abnormal blockade or activation
Clinical Manifestation of T2
autoimmune hemolytic anemia thrombocytopenic purpura- platelet lysing transfusion reactions- RBC lysing transplant rejection rheumatic fever
Corneal transplant rejection
T4
most rejection types are T2
Coombs Serum
antihuman IgG
rabbit + human
