4/20/17 Hypersensitivity GERMAN FINAL TEST Flashcards
What is a severe, immediate, and system-wide harmful immune response to a non-pathogenic antigen known as?
-Anaphylaxis
What is an immediate or delayed immune response to innocuous antigens resulting in healthy tissue damage?
-Hypersensitivity
What was the first identified hypersensitivity reaction?
-Anaphylaxis
What types of hypersensitivity reactions are humorally mediated?
- Type I
- Type II
- Type III
What type of hypersensitivity reactions are cell-mediated?
-Type IV
In type I hypersensitivity what antibody is associated with it?
-IgE
What does type I hypersensitivity lead to?
-Degranulation
What does type II hypersensitivity lead to?
- Complement response
- ADCC
What does a type III hypersensitivity reaction lead to?
-Antibody complex deposition
What does a type IV hypersensitivity reaction lead to?
-T cell sensitization
T/F Diseases are restricted to a particular type of hypersensitivity
False
-They can be multiple types of hypersensitivity
What is a non-pathogenic antigen that illicit a hypersensitivity reaction?
-Allergen
What does an allergen bind to in the immune system?
-IgE
When you have allergen and IgE complex it activates what cells?
- Mast cells
- Basophils
- Eosinophils
T/F Allergens can be inhaled, injected, or ingested materials
True
T/F Type I hypersensitivity has a delayed hypersensitivity response
- False
- Immediate hypersensitivity
If a type I hypersensitivity is systemic what can occur?
-Anaphylactic shock
If a type I hypersensitivity is localized what are some causes of that?
- Allergic rhinitis (hayfever)
- Allergic asthma
- Eczema
- Food allergies
What does Th2 effector cells do for hypersensitivity?
-Release cytokines that lead to recruiting to granulocytes (Degranulate, encapsulate, or removal of parasite out of body)
Mast cell degranulation drives what?
-Inflammation
What are two toxic mediators that are released from mast cells?
- Histamine
- Heparin
What is the effect of histamine and heparin released from mast cells?
- Poison parasites
- Increase vascular permeability
- Cause smooth muscle contraction
Mast cells can release TNF-alpha, what does releasing this cytokine do?
- Promote inflammation
- Stimulate cytokine production from many cell types
- Activates endothelium
