Exam 3: Hypersensitivity Type II and III Flashcards
what type of immune response is type II hypersensitivity
humoral immune response
type II hypersensitivity characteristics
RBC antigens
blood transfusion between genetically different individuals, the red cell antigens will stimulate an antibody response in the recipient
Antibody + complement = RBC destruction
animals may have antibodies against foreign blood group antigens even without previous exposure
how do you know if you can perform a blood transfusion
absence of agglutination
what is the antibody that produces agglutination in blood
IgM
possible blood types
A+ A- B+ B- AB+ AB- O+ O-
is there an immune response if animal donor = animal recipient
no immune response
is there an immune response if animal donor does not equal animal recipient
yes immune response
what is the 1st stage?
hypotension
bradycardia
apnea
what is the 2nd stage
hypertension
cardiac arrhythmia
increased HR
increased respiratory rate
hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) neonatal isoerythrolysis
- newborn with different blood type than mother
ex - mom is Aa- and baby is Aa+ - mother must be sensitized to this red cell antigen
- mother’s response must to be boosted to transplacental hemorrhage or repeated pregnancies
- newborn animal must ingest colostrum with high antibodies against its red cells
foal ingests antibodies against its RBC and will produce hemolytic disease
type II hypersensitivity to drugs
drugs + antibodies + complement –> bystander effect on RBC
drugs attached to RBC membrane + antibodies + complement on RBC
drugs that modify RBC membrane + antibodies = phagocytosis
type II hypersensitivity in infectious diseases
equine infectious anemia, anaplasmosis, trypanosomiasis, babesiosis –> severe anemia
why is there a yellow pigmentation with type II hypersensitivity
due to release of immunoglobulins
what do you use to treat type II hypersensitivity
has to be treated with a blood transfusion
make sure foal does not drink any more of the mother’s colostrum
what is needed to produce immune complex in type III hypersensitivity
antigen + antibody
complement
animal must have high amounts of antigens or high levels of antibodies to produce immune complex
what type of immune response is type III hypersensitivity associated with
humoral immune response
what is the main cell type in type III hypersensitivity
neutrophils
what do neutrophils do in type III hypersensitivity
release enzymes to promote inflammation
what do immune complexes lead to when they are deposited in tissues
chemotactic peptides
type III hypersensitivity - local type - where are IC formed
immune complexes are formed within the tissue
type III hypersensitivity - generalized type - where are IC formed
immune complexes are formed within the blood stream
type III hypersensitivity - generalized type - where are IC deposited
within the glomeruli in the kidney
