Hypersensitivity Flashcards
undesirable reactions produced by the normal immune system, including allergies and autoimmunity
Hypersensitivity
type I hypersensitivity
immediate, atopic, anaphylactic
type II hypersensitivity
antibody dependent
type III hypersensitivity
immune complex
type IV hypersensitivity
cell mediated or delayed type of hypersensitivity
also known as immediate or anaphylactic
hypersensitivity
Type I hypersensitivity
what are the reactions involved in type I hypersensitivity?
Skin (eczema), Eyes (conjunctivitis), Nasopharynx (rhinorrhea, rhinitis), Bronchopulmonary tissue (asthma), Gastrointestinal (gastroenteritis)
the range of symptoms in type I hypersensitivity?
minor inconvenience to death
the reaction takes ? from the time of exposure to the antigen in type I
15-30 minutes
type I delayed onset
6-8 hours
late phase reaction
leukotrienes
type I is mediated by ? antibody
IgE
primary cellular component in type I is?
Mast cell and Basophil
reaction is amplified and/ or modified by ? in type I
Platelets, Neutrophils and Eosinophils
? stimulated and release histamine?
Mast cells
mast cells stimulated and release ?
Histamine
are non-parasite antigens that can stimulate a type I hypersensitivity response
Allergen
term for the genetic trait to have a predisposition for localized anaphylaxis
Atopy
mechanism of type I
induce the synthesis of IgE then binds on surface of mast cell then reintroduced antigen interacts with IgE on mast cell causing cells to degranulate and release large amounts of histamine
produced by TH2 and upregulate production of IgE
IL-4
produced by TH1 and downregulate production of IgE
IFN-gamma
which mediator of type I
smooth muscle contraction & binds to the receptors on endothelial causes separation of junctions, increasing permeability
H1 receptors
which mediator of type I
mucus secretion and vasodilation
H2 receptors
which mediator of type I
Increases fluid secretion and peristalsis (diarrhea and vomiting)
degranulation in gastrointestinal tract
which mediator of type I
decrease in airway diameter (CONSTRICTION OF SMOOTH MUSCLE AROUND THHE BRONCHI, anaphylaxis) and mucus secretion
degranulation in lungs
which mediator of type I
increase blood flow and vascular permeability, causing edema
degranulation in along blood vessels
which mediator of type I
causes prolonged constriction of SM
Leukotrienes
