Hypersensitivities IV Flashcards
Type IV is antibody mediated. True or false?
FALSE
What is the timing of clinical signs with type IV?
2-3 days if prior sensitized
What cells are involved in type IV?
Th1, CTLs, macrophages
What Ig classes are involved in type IV?
none
Clinical syndrome type IV?
granulomas or cellular apoptosis induced by CD8s
Type IV reactions are ____-mediated tissue injuries.
cell
What is the immune mechanism for type IV reactions?
antigen sensitized Th1 CD4 T-cells and CD8 T-cells accumulate and release Th1 cytokines (IFN-y, TNF-a)
activated macrophages and cytotoxic T cells
When does a type IV reaction occur (time)?
at 72 hours- swelling, induration, or granuloma at site of antigen due to accumulation of macrophages and lymphocytes
What are the effector mechanisms of type IV?
cytokine mediated inflammation –> tissue injury
T cell mediated killing of host cells–> cell death and tissue injury
What is the bystander effect?
when molecules are being secreted to get rid of a pathogen end up damaging host cells/ tissue
What does a positive TB skin test mean?
Th1 immune response to myobacterium tuberculosis antigens
What antigens act as haptens and bind skin cells?
penicillin, poison ivy, metal ions
TB skin reaction is a ________ response to ______________.
memory Th1 ; myobacterium tuberculosis
What is the procedure for TB skin test?
purified protein derivative of M. tuberculosis (PPD) is injected into skin, it is processed by APCs and attracts memory affector T cells (mostly CD4) and macrophages
How long does it take to get a positive TB skin test?
48-72 hours
