A. VI Flashcards
Hypersensitivity reaction=
Pathological immune response to otherwise harmless Ag
Type I HSN
IgE mediated, mast cell activation
Type I HSN stages
Immediate (Mast cell release histamine and tryptase)
Late (Chemokine attract inflammatory cells)
Type I HSN examples
Anaphylaxis
Allergic asthma
Type II HSN
Ab mediated. Binds cell surface Ag and attracts NK
B for II
Type II HSN examples
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia Transfusion reaction Rheumatic fever MG Graves disease
Type III HSN
Immune Complex Ag-Ab complex activate complement which attracts neut -> release lysosomal enymes
C for III
Type III HSN examples
SLE
Polyarthritis nodosa
PSGN
Type IV HSN (two mechanism)
Delayed, cell mediated
- CD8+ T cell kill target cell
- CD4+ T cell recognizes Ag and release cytokines
HSN I-III are all _____ mediated
Ab
Type IV HSN examples
Contact dermatitis
PPD skin test
Graft vs host disease
Autoimmune disorders are characterized by
Immune-mediated damage of tissue
Autoimmune disorders involves loss of
Self-tolerance
Autoimmune disorders are more common in
Women of childbearing age
Etiology of Autoimmune disorders
Likely an inviormental trigger in genetically susceptible individuals
What happens in SLE?
Ab against the host damage multiple tissue
HSN II=
Cytotoxic
HSN III=
Ag-Ab complex
SLE includes what type of HSN reaction?
II+III
SLE clinical features
Fever Weight loss Butterfly rash Arthritis Pleuritis Pericarditis Cns psychosis Renal damage Endocarditis Myocarditis Anemia Trhombocytopenia Leukemia
Most common renal damage in SLE?
Diffused proliferative glomerulonephritis
