Exam 2 Chapter 4 - Hypersensitivity Flashcards
These are injurious immune reactions. They are inappropriately targeted or inadequately controlled. Secondary tissue injury.
hypersensitivity reactions
Hypersensitivity reactions are ________ to control.
difficult
This is a reaction to self antigens.
autoimmunity
This is an excessive reaction or persistent infection, ie: viral hepatitis, tuberculosis
microbial
These are the three different types of hypersensitivity reactions.
autoimmunity, microbial, environmental
These are hypersensitivity reactions to harmless stimuli. ie: allergies, genetics. pollen, dander, dust mites.
environmental
Type 1 hypersensitivity reactions are due to this:
allergies
Hay fever, hives, eczema, asthma, and anaphylaxis are examples of things that would cause this type of hypersensitivity reaction.
Type 1
Activation of T helper cells, increase IgE antibody production and mast cell degranulation (histamine): vasodilation, increased mucus secretion and bronchoconstriction are the three steps of this type of hypersensitivity reaction.
Type 1
Type 1 hypersensitivity reactions are due to this cause:
genetic predisposition (atopic)
Type 1 hypersensitivity reactions have an ______ response.
immediate
Type 1 hypersensitivity reactions have an immediate response. The onset is within ______ minutes and subsides with _______ minutes.
30, 60
The late-phase reaction in a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction has an onset _______ hours later and usually results in epithelial damage.
2-8
Type II hypersensitivity reactions are _______.
cytoxic
What type of hypersensitivity reaction is antibody-mediated?
Type II
These are the two antibodies associated with Type II hypersensitivity reactions. They are complements.
IgM and IgG
ABO incompatibility, acute rheumatic fever, Goodpasture syndrome, Graves’ disease are all examples of this type of hypersensitivity reaction.
Type II
