Type IV
38
In Gell and Coombs Classification, What type is also called Immediate Hypersensitivity?
Type I
39
In Gell and Coombs Classification, What type reaction ade initiated by the binding of antibody to a cell membrane or to the extracellular matrix.
Type II

What atopic reaction that is called anaphylaxis and affects the entire body?
systemic atopic response
43
What Atopic reaction is the allergic symptoms depend on the anatomic location?
Local atopic reaction
