3.1 Hypersensitivity Flashcards
Exaggerated response to a harmless antigen that results to tissue injury,
disease, and death.
Immunological response not controlled by regulator mechanisms
Hypersensitivity
Hypersensitivity is classsified by?
Gell and Coomb’s Classification
First exposure that result to hypersensitivity is called?
Sensitization
Second exposure that result to hypersensitivity is called?
Effector phase
primary immune response can respond faster than secondary immune respond?
T or F
F
Is hypersensitivity an immune response?
Yes
Hypersensitivity responds to harmless antigens such as peanuts, seafood and insect bites
T or F
T
T
The difference of hypersensitivity to normal immune response is that, normal immune response responds to harmful antigens such as bacteria and fungi.
Type of hypersensitivity that is anaphylactic, immediate, and IgE-mediated
Type I
MAst cells, basophils, eosinophils are part of type II hypersensitivity?
T or F
F
Type I
What immunoglobulin is more focus in type I
IgE
Inherited tendency to develop classic allergic responses to
naturally occurring inhaled or ingested
Atopy
Occurs around 10 days after
initial exposure
B cells undergo isotype switching to
become IgE-expressing memory B
cells or IgE-secreting plasma cells
What type of hypersensitivity and what phase?
Type I, Sensitization
Subsequent exposure to the
same antigen will cause
sensitized mast cells and
basophils to release vasoactive
amines (Histamine)
What type of hypersensitivity and what phase?
Type I, Effector Phase
In effector phase of type I, the extent of reaction is dependent on the size of antigen
T or F
T
Humoral factor that influence isotype switching to IgE (Type 2 cytokine)
Interleukin-4
Primary mediators
-Platelet activating factors
* Prostaglandin D2
* Leukotrienes B4, C4, D4, E4
Secondary mediators:
- Histamine
* Heparin
* ECF-A
* Neutrophil chemo lactic factor
* Proteases
T or F
F
Baligtad
Example of Local effect in Type one are:
Rhintis
Uticaria
GI symptoms
T or F
T
Most sever type of systemic effect in Type I that involves multiple organs
Anaphylaxis
What will happen is anaphylaxis progressed?
Anaphylactic shocked
Angioedema is a Systemic effect in Type I?
T or F
T
Treatment for Type are as it follows:
- Avoidance of known allergens
- Antihistamines and decongestants
- Bronchodilators
- Epinephrine - given to those who experience anaphylactic shock
- Omalizumab
- Allergy immunotherapy - desensitization
T or F
T
Antigens that cause hypersenstivity are called?
Allergens
Type I hypersensitivity can be genetically predisposed?
T or F
T
substances secreted by inflammatory cells and this induce vasodilation, increase vascular permeability, etc
Vasoactive amines
Interleukin-4 is secreted by what cells?
T-Helper Cells
NOTE for Type I:
The more allergens in the body the more response you will manifest
