- asthma
- systemic anaphylaxis
(mast cell activation)
Examples of Type 2 reactions
Some drug allergies (penicillin)
FcR cells
Examples of Type 3 reactions
Serum sickness
FcR cells, complement
Examples of Type 4a reactions

- contact dermatitis
(macrophage activation
Examples of Type 4 b reactions
- chronic asthma
- maculopapular exanthema
(eosinophils)
Examples of Type 4c reactions

- penicillins
- hydroxychloroquine
- NSAIDs
- azoles
How does a small molecule induce an immune reaction?
Stimulate innate immune system
- bind to proteins and stimulate cells of IIS
Stimulate specific immune system
- couple to carrier protein to form hapten-protein complex
- complex is precessed by APCs
- modified proteins can induce a humoral immune system by stimulating B cells
