Alteration in immunity Flashcards
3 requirements for hypersensitivity
- original “insult”
- genetic makeup
- immune response
Hypersensitivity type 1
Hypersensitivity type 2
Hypersensitivity type 3
Hypersensitivity type 4
Type 1: igE mediated
Type 2: tissue specific
Type 3: immune complex mediated
Type 4: cell mediated
Define allergy, autoimmunity, and aulloimmunity.
environment, self, and other
Immediate hypersensitivity reactions are ____ and ____ mediated. Involves _____
I, II, III ; antibody, anaphylaxis
Delayed hypersensitivity reactions are ____ and ___ mediated. Name examples
Type IV; cell mediated;
poison ivy, metal, TB skin test
what does igE activate
Activates mast cells, which degranulates and initiates cytokine synthesis
symptoms seen with type 1 hypersensitivity
-Pruritus (itchy) -Angioedema (dermis swelling) -Urticaria (wheel and flare hives) -Conjunctivitis -Rhinitis -Hypotension -Bronchospasm -Dysrhythmias -GI cramps and malabsorption
symptoms of mild anaphylaxis
itching, hives, skin erythema, contraction of respiratory bronchioles
symptoms of severe anaphylaxis
laryngeal edema
vascular collapse
death
what does 4 things epinephrine do?
- constrict blood vessels
- relax smooth muscles
- stimulates heartbeat
- reduces swelling
what are two types of hypersensitivity 1 treatment?
desensitization; still allergic
Tolerance (ideal!!)
Type II is a tissue-specific hypersensitivity that involves ______.
pre-formed antibodies
5 mechanisms for type 2 hypersensitivity
- complement-mediated lysis
- phagocytosis
- tissue destruction
- ADCC
- Induced cell malfunction
complement-mediated lysis
mechanism: igm recognizes the surface of the RBC which activates C1 resulting in lysis of the RBC
- seen in hemolytic anemia
phagocytosis
AB serve as opsinins or complement cascade
