Q

What type of antigen and effector mechanism is type 4?

A

Soluble antigents and macrophage activation, igE production and killer cells

25
What are a few general properties of allergens?
Small, soluble, long lasting, low dose of allergen, mucosal, protease, th2 immune
26
Which organs do type 1 mainly manifest?
Skin mucosa then Respiratory
27
How are type 1 IgE mediated?
Atopic diseases caused by individuals mount over zealous responses e.g dust allergens
28
What type of allergens activate PAR receptors?
Protease
29
What does mast cell granulation release?
Increased blood flow, increase mucus secretion, fluid secretion - puffy eyes , runny nose
30
What 5 reactions are IgE mediated?
Systematic anaphylaxis, Acute urticaria, Seasonal rhinoconjuctivities, asthma and food allergy
31
What IgE mediated reaction is caused in the upper airways?
Rhinitis
32
What IgE mediated reaction is caused in the lower airways?
Asthma
33
What can allergic Rhinitis and asthma cause?
Airway remodelling hyperplasia, fibrosis
34
What can Anaphylaxis do?
Direct route into blood stream, lowers BP and airway constriction
35
What mutants trigger cold induced urticaria?
NLP3
36
What can overly sensitive mechanotransduction induce?
Mast cell degranulation
37
What do Eosinophils do?
Mainly kill parasites by reacting towards opsonised parasites
38
How can you treat mediator actions?
Antihistamines and b-blockers
39
How can you treat chronic imflammatory reactions?
Corticosteroids
40
How can you treat Th2 responses?
Desensitisation therapy by injections
41
How can you treat IgE binding to mastcell?
Anti-IgE antibodies
42
What were IgE responses originally evolved to do?
Destroy helminth and pathogens
43
How is Chronic inflammation caused?
Mediated by IgE and by apoptosis of keratinocytes
44
What do Type 2 antibodies attach to?
Epitopes on self cells
45
What does Type 2 induce?
Activation of compliment
46
What does Type 2 result in?
Vasodilation and migration of phagocytic cells to the effected tissue
47
What do type 2 cells promote?
Activation of membrane attack complex
48
What does type 3 target?
Immune complex deposition on vessel walls causes arthritis, nephritis
49
What are type 3 receptors caused by?
Antigen (self or non-self) antibody complexes
50
What does type 3 promote?
Inflammatory response - local or systematic
51
What is a type 3 local response?
Individual immunised against an antigen of a high conc
52
What is a type 3 systematic response?
Antigen complexes may form systematically - promote wide inflammatory response
53
What is an e.g of type 3 systematic response?
Post infectious glomerulonephritis - antibody stuck in glomeruli of kidney and inflamed, could be due to infection
54
How does Type 4 work?
Antigen injected to tissue and processed by local antigen presenting cells, Th1 effector cell recognises and releases cytokines acting on vascular endothelium and recruits phagocytes to site
55
What are the 3 types of type 4 hypersensitivity?
Delayed type, Contact, Gluten sensitive enteropathy
56
What agent is related to contact dermititis?
Hapten
57
What cells does contact agent bind with to self proteins?
Langerhann cells
58
How does BCG type 4 work?
Injection of inactivated will cause localised response and indicated if individual has had before
59
What happens in coeliac disease?
Peptides produced from gluten dont bind to MHC molecules and enzyme modigied the peptides to bind, bound peptide activates gluten specific cells, T cells kill epithelia
