final exam- hypersensitivity Flashcards
immune complex diseases is this type of hypersensitivty
type III
T cell mediated disease like Type I DM is this type of hypersensitivity?
Type IV hypersensitivity
type of pathologic reactions that is caused by the release of mediators (histamine) from mast cells
Immediate type I hypersensitivity
immediate type I produced this antibody against environmental ags
IgE
the genetic tendency to develop allergic diseases
atopy
activation of Th2 and IgE in response to ag allergens
type I hypersensitivity
two phases of Hypersensitivity. 1. histamine reacts in an? cytokines react in?
- immediate hypersensitivity reaction
2. late phase
prolonged smooth muscle contraction is stimulated by?
leukotrienes
the hallmarks of immediate hypersensitivity are?
mast cell mediators, acute vascular dilation and smooth muscle contraction.
in type II hypersensitivity, which antibodies activate the complement system by the classical pathway?
IgG and IgM
IgG abs bind to neutrophil and macrophage Fc receptors and activate these leukocytes resulting in?
pro-inflammatory response
C5a is a major?
chemoattractant
Graves disease, Rheumatic fever, Pemphigus vulgaris, ITP, Goodpastures syndrome, and Autoimmuno hemolytic anemia, are all types of ?
type II hypersensitivity
immune complexes induce vascular inflammation, ischemic damage to the tissues in this type of hypersensitivity
Type III
34 yr male comes to the ER with a venomous snake bite to the forearm. patient received Cro-fab, an anti-venom serum. Soon after administration, patient developed systemic vasculitis, nephritis, and arthritis. This best describes what type of hypersensitivity disease?
Serum sickness in a type III hypersensitivity disease
