[P] Lec 04: Hypersensitivity Flashcards
- Adaptive response to antigens or allergens which occurs in an exaggerated or inappropriate manner causing tissue damage
- Heightened state of immune response
Hypersensitivity
- Type 1 Hypersensitivity
- Type 2 Hypersensitivity
- Type 3 Hypersensitivity
- Type 4 Hypersensitivity
A. Immune complex
B. Cell mediated/delayed type
C. Immediate/Anaphylactic
D. Cytotoxic
CDAB
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
Antibody:
Effector cell:
Antibody: IgE
Effector cell: Mast cell
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
TOF. The end of the activation phase is when the IgE Ab produced adheres to mast cells.
F (end of sensitization)
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
TOF. There is NO
HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTION during sensitization.
T
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
What activity/event should happen for the activation phase to commence?
Re-exposure
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
TOF. The mediators released by the
mast cell causes anaphylactoid,
which is IgE mediated.
F (anaphylaxis)
Anaphylactoid → Ag will directly activate the mast cell leading to degranulation (no IgE,
thus, no sensitization phase happens)
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
Common Allergen (Ag): Drugs, serum, venom
Route of entry: I/V
Response: Edema, vasodilation, asthma, laryngeal edema, shock, death
A. Food allergy
B. Bronchial asthma
C. Wheal and flare
D. Allergic Rhinitis and hay fever
E. Systemic anaphylaxis
E
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
Common Allergen (Ag): Insect bites, sensitivity testing
Route of entry: Subcutaneous
Response: Local
vasodilation and local edema
A. Food allergy
B. Bronchial asthma
C. Wheal and flare
D. Allergic Rhinitis and hay fever
E. Systemic anaphylaxis
C
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
Common Allergen (Ag): Pollen (ragweed), dust, mites, feces
Route of entry: Inhaled
Response: Edema of the
nose, irritation of nasal mucosa
A. Food allergy
B. Bronchial asthma
C. Wheal and flare
D. Allergic Rhinitis and hay fever
E. Systemic anaphylaxis
D
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
Common Allergen (Ag): Pollen dust, mites, and feces
Route of entry: Inhaled
Response: Bronchial
constriction, increased mucous and
airway inflammation
A. Food allergy
B. Bronchial asthma
C. Wheal and flare
D. Allergic Rhinitis and hay fever
E. Systemic anaphylaxis
B
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
Common Allergen (Ag): Fish, milk, egg, wheat
Route of entry: Oral
Response: Vomiting and
diarrhea, pruritis (itching), urticaria (hives)
A. Food allergy
B. Bronchial asthma
C. Wheal and flare
D. Allergic Rhinitis and hay fever
E. Systemic anaphylaxis
A
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
Matching type:
1. 1000x more potent, Cause erythema (flare) and wheal
formation (umbok)
2. Vasodilation, Smooth muscle contraction, Bronchoconstriction, Increase mucus secretion
A. Histamine
B. Leukotriene
BA

Type 1 Hypersensitivity
Enumerate clinical manifestations
- Hay fever
- Atopic Dermatitis or Eczema
- Insect Venom
- Anaphylaxis to drugs
- Food and Latex Allergies
- Allergy to animal and animal products
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
Enumerate in vivo screening tests
Skin Prick Test, Intradermal Test, Prausnitz – Kustner Reaction
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
DIAGNOSTIC TESTS (IN VITRO)
1) RAST (Radioallergosorbent Test/Assay)
2) RIST (Radioimmunosorbent Test/Assay)
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
- Negative control: NSS
- Positive control: Histamine
- Result: 15 – 20 minutes
o (+) Wheal/Induration is >3mm
o Presence or absence of Flare
Skin Prick Test also known as Percutaneous or
Puncture test
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
- 0.01 to 0.05 mL of test solution
- Positive result is the same with SPT:
After 15 – 20 minutes,
o (+) Wheal/Induration is >3mm
o Presence or absence of Flar
Intradermal Test
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
- Passive Cutaneous Anaphylaxis
- Obsolete method/test
- Serum passing
- If the injected individual will have wheal formation after 48 hours, it is considered positive
Prausnitz – Kustner Reaction
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
Matching type:
- Used to detect/determine specific IgE that is directed to a specific allergen
- Used to measure the Total IgE in the serum or blood of a px
A. RAST
B. RIST
AB
TYPE II Hypersensitivity
Antibody involved:
IgG and IgM
TYPE II Hypersensitivity
Enumerate the clinical states
- Transfusion Reactions
- Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn
- Autoimmune and Drug Induced Hemolytic Anemia
- Drug-induced thrombocytopenic purpura
- Good Pasture Syndrome
- Myasthenia Gravis
TYPE II Hypersensitivity
TESTS FOR TYPE II
Coomb’s test
TYPE II Hypersensitivity
- Used to determine IN VIVO sensitization
- To check if the red cells of the patient is sensitized inside the body
- It is sensitized because of hemolytic transfusion reaction or HDN if the mother is Rh negative and the baby is Rh positive.
- It can also happen if there is
autoimmune and drug induced hemolytic anemia. - In here, we need to collect a sample of red cells and add a AhG reagent.
- Positive result: agglutination or hemolysis
DIRECT ANTIGLOBULIN TEST
