Q

how is IgE activated?

A
  1. IgE attaches to mast cell or basophil which expresses high affinity receptor FcER1
  2. IgE on mast cell or basophil interacts w/ specific allergen and mast cell becomes activated upon second exposure
    • mast cell then releases mediators

Q

what happens during a second exposure to an allergen?

A

Q

what can mast cell activation and granule release cause in the:

2. Airways
3. Blood vessels

A
  1. diarrhea/vomiting

Q

In asthma, a chronic condition is developed where _____ play a major role

A

eosinophils

17
Q

what happens in an acute response of asthma?

A
  1. Mucosal mast cell captures antigen
  2. antibody response by producing IgE
  3. inflammation causes SM to contract, increase in mucus secretion, increase in blood vessel permeability
    4.Cytokines produced bring in eosinophils
18
Q

why do systemic anaphylaxis reactions happen?

A

systemic release of histamine and leukotrienes resulting in a generalized increase in vasopermeability, vasodilation and smooth muscle contraction

19
Q

what are treatments for local vs systemic anaphylaxis?

A

-Local: antihistamine (blocks histamine and reverses symptoms)
-Systemic: epinephrine (decreases VP, VD, SMC)

20
Q

________ are seen in allergy testing and insect bites

A

Wheal and flares

21
Q

__________ is a treatment plan that gives you small amount of what you’re allergic to over time

A

Hypo-sensitization treatment

22
Q

how does hypo-sensitization treatment work?

A

-IgE antibody starts to decrease over time
-IgG (blocking antibody) is produced over time in tissue fluid that has a chance to interact w/ allergen causing a problem before it can interact w/ IgE on mast cell

23
Q

what are 4 examples of IgE mediated allergic reactions?

A

Systemic anaphylaxis
Wheal and flare
Allergic rhinitis
Bronchial asthma

24
Q

____________ refers to an antibody-mediated immune reaction in which antibodies (IgG or IgM) are directed against cellular or extracellular matrix antigens, resulting in cellular destruction, functional loss, or tissue damage.

A

Type II hypersensitivity reaction

25
Q

what are 4 examples of type II hypersensitivity reactions?

A

Blood transfusion reaction
Drug reactions
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
Antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC)

26
Q

___________ occurs when a patient develops antibodies against their own RBCs

A

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia

27
Q

Patient response to therapy directed against B cells employing an anti-CD20 antibody Rituximab, is an example of which type of Type II reaction?

A

ADCC

28
Q

____________________ are initiated by antigen-antibody complexes which can induce an inflammatory response

A

Immune complex disease (type III hypersensitivity)

29
Q

Antigen + antibody = antigen-antibody complex and can activate the _______

A

complement system

30
Q

_____ is chemotactic for neutrophils and can attract neutrophils to area where immune complex is

A

C5a

31
Q

what is an example of a local Type III reaction?

A

Arthus reaction

32
Q

what happens in an arthus reaction?

A
  1. Circulating antibodies are present
  2. React w/ antigen introduced subsequently
  3. Immune complex form within the blood vessel walls
  4. C’ activation and binding of immune complex to mast cell results in inflammatory response
33
Q

how long does an arthus reaction take to occur?

A

5-6 hours

34
Q

what can cause an arthus reaction?

A

vaccines

35
Q

explain what happens in a type III systemic reactio

A
  1. Antigen-antibody complexes circulate throughout bloodstream and settle in organs, like the kidney
  2. this initiates inflammatory response
  3. Neutrophils try to remove antigen-antibody complexes and destroy filtration system of kidney → renal failure if it goes on for too long
36
Q

what is an example of a systemic type III hypersensitivity reaction?

A

serum sickness
