Hypersensitivity Disorders Flashcards
Immediate hypersensitivity type I mechanism
Mast cells and their mediators (vasoactive amines, lipid mediators, and cytokines)
Antibody mediated hypersensitivity type II mechanism
Opsonization and phagocytosis of cells
Complement and Fc receptor mediated recruitment and activation of leukocytes. Abnormalities in cellular functions
Immune complex mediated type III mechanism
Complement and Fc receptor mediated recruitment and activation of leukocytes
T cell mediated type IV mechanism
Recruitment and activation of leukocytes, direct target cell killing, cytokine mediated inflammation
Immediate hypersensitivity type I immune component
IgE antibody
Antibody mediated type II immune component
IgM, IgG antibodies against cell surface or extracellular matrix antigens
Immune complex mediated type III immune component
Immune complexes of circulating antigens and IgM or IgG antibodies
T cell mediated type IV immune component
CD4+ and CD8+ T cells
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia mechanism
Opsonization and phagocytosis of erythrocytes, complement mediated lysis
Autoimmune thrombocytopenia purpura mechanism
Opsonization and phagocytosis of platelets
Pemphigus vulgaris mechanism
Antibody mediated activation of proteases, disruption of intercellular adhesions
Vasculitis caused by ANCA mechanism
Neutrophil degranulation and inflammation
Goodpasture’s syndrome mechanism
Complement and Fc receptor mediated inflammation
Acute rheumatic fever mechanism
Inflammation, macrophage activation
Myasthenia gravis mechanism
Antibody inhibits acetylcholine binding, downmodulates receptors
