Immune mechanism is cytolysis due to antibody and complement (tissue specific)

Examples:

Q
  • Cell bound antibody reacts with antigen to release physiologically active substances
  • Has the short time lag, usually seconds - mins., between exposure to antigen and the onset of clinical symptoms
  • Key reactant or immediate sensitivity reaction is IgE
