Q

What is the mechanism for Type 1 hypersensitivity reactions?

A
  1. IgE on mast cell binds antigen (requires 2 antibodies)

2. Degranulation of mast cell releases vasoactive molecules, enzymes, cytokines, chemotactic molecules

25
IL-33 stimulates Basophil
differentiation in bone marrow
26
IL-33 stimulates Eosinophils
as terminal effector cells of teh allergic response
27
Mast cells degranulation in the GI tract causes
Fluid secretion, peristalsis that leads to emptying of the GI tract via diarrhea and vomiting
28
Mast cells degranulation in the Respiratory Tract causes
mucus secretion, bronchoconstriction leadign to difficulty breathing
29
Mast cells degranulation in the Blood Vessels causes
increased vascular permeability that leads to the movement of fluids, proteins, and cells out of blood vessels into inflamed tissue
30
What process enhances mast cell degranulation?
Stimulation of alpha adrenoreceptors and block Beta adrenoreceptors
31
What chemicals stimulate alpha adrenoreceptors?
Norepinehrine and phenylephrine
32
What chemicals block beta adrenoreceptors?
propranolol
33
What processes inhibit mast cell degranulation?
Blocking alpha adrenoreceptors and stimulation of beta adrenoreceptors
34
what chemicals stimulate beta adrenoreceptors?
Isoproterenol, epinephrine, salbutamol
35
Examples of Clinical Type 1 hypersensitivity:
allergic anaphylaxis, hygiene hypothesis, milk, food alergy, allergy to vaccines and drugs, parsites, inhalant dermatitis, atopic dermatitis (molds, trees, weeds)
36
How to diagnose Type 1 Hypersensitivity?
intradermal skin testing, passive cutaneus anaphylaxis (PCA) and Measuring IgE
37
How to treat Type 1 Hypersensitivity?
avoid exposure to teh allergen, corticosteroids, antihistamines or B stimulants or alpha antagonists
38
Type 2 Hypersensitivity involves which antigens?
RBC antigens
39
What initiates RBC destruction during transfusions?
antibodies and complement
40
First stage clinical signs of nonmatching blood types
Hypotension, brady cardia, apnea
41
Second Stage clinical signs of nonmatching blood types
Hypertension, cardiac arrhythmia, increased heart rate and increased respiratory rate
42
Destruction of RBC because of foreign antigen is mediated by:
IgM
43
What is Hemolytic disease of the new born (HDN)?
appears in foals, whose blood antigens don't match mares (pos v neg)
44
What are causes of Type 2 Hypersensitivity?
Drugs, infectious diseases (Equine infectious anemai, anaplasmosis, Trypanosomiasis, babesios- severeanemia)
45
Antigen and antibody combine with complement to form
The immune complex (IC)
46
The immune complex initiates what kind of hypersensitivity?
Type 3
47
Local Type 3 Sensitivity
Immune complexes form within the tissue
48
Generalized type 3 sensitivity
immune complexes are formed within the blood stream and are deposited in glomeruli in the kidney
49
Arthus Reaction causes
red edematous, local hemorrhage, thrombosis and tissue destruction
50
What is the arthus reaction?
it is inflammation of the injection site after injection of antibodies
51
Examples of Type 3 hypersensitivity
blue eye, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, stahylococcal hypersensitivity
52
How are immune complexes removed in primates?
via RBCs
53
How are immune complexes removed in nonprimates?
via platelets
54
What cells eliminate immune complexes?
Kupffer cells (liver macrophages)
55
Generalized type 3 hypersensitivity reactions are also referred to as
serum sickness
56
Type 3 hypersensitivity causes what clinical signs?
arteritis, arthritis and glomerulonephritis
57
Type 1 glomerulonephritis occurs where?
in mesangial and subendothelial regions
58
Type 3 glomerulonephritis occurs where?
in the suepithelial region
59
Type 2 Hypersensitivity occurs where?
glomerular basement membrane
60
Glomerulonephritis is a causes of
Chronic diseases, such as Equine infectious anemia, infectious canine hepatitis, african swine fever, lympe disease yometra and tumors
61
Type 4 hypersensitivity is also referred to as:
Delayed Type Hypersensitivity
62
tuberculin
inflammatory response in teh skin of an animal infected with tuberculosis following intradermal injectino of tuberculin
63
Type 4 hypersensitivity involves which part of the adaptive immune system?
Cellular Immune response (T cells)
64
Type 1-3 Hypersensitivity involves which part of teh adaptive immune system?
Humoral immune response (b cells n antibodies)
65
animal shows what signs of Type 4 hypersensitivity
a reaction at injection site
66
Tuberculin has false positives because
cross reactions with other bacteria, animals with advanced tuberculosis or tested at early stages of infection
67
What are examples of tuberculin tests
single intradermal, comparative, short thermal and stormont
68
allergic contact dermatitis occurs
if reactive chemicals are painted onto skin, bind skin proteins and resulting complex are processed by langerhans cells in the dermis
69
Examples of Type 4 hypersensitivity/ allergic contact dermatitis reaction
poison ivy, haptens to chrome/nickel or resin/latex
