Q

A type I allergic reaction has what character and what mediates it?

A

Immediate

IgE mediates causing histamine release from Mast Cells

25
Q

A type 2 allergic reaction has what character and what mediates it?

A

Transfusion reactions and Goodpasture’s syndrome are what type of allergic reactions?

A

Cytotoxic with IgM/IgG-Ab activating cytotoxic cells

28
Q

Goodpasture’s syndrome is an autoimmune problem where IgG/IgM-Ab complexes activatie cytotoxic cells in Type II response, but antibodies attack what?

A

Lung and Kidneys

29
Q

What must occur before a type I allergic reaction?

A

Must be sensitized by allergen binding IgE causing Il-4 to make B-cells produce IgE antibodies for that antigen

30
Q

What are 5 things mast cells / basophils release when antigen binds the IgE attached to the cell surface?

A
  1. Histamine
  2. Cytokines
  3. Interleukins
