Hypersensitivty Review And Skin Lesions Flashcards
ACID test
Anaphylactic/atopic - type I
Cytotoxic- type II
Immune complex - type III
Delayed (cell mediated)-type IV
What does the C stand for in ACID
Cytotoxic, NOT CELL MEDIATED
What does type II sensitivity do to cells
Activates them or kills them
Mechanism of action of type I HS
- Allergen activates B cells, IGM class switched to IgE
- preformed IgE docks on mast cells (basophils)
Early-preformed mediators of type I HS
Histamine
Heparin
Eosinophils chemotactic factor of anaphylaxis (ECF-A)
Neutrophil chemotactic factor (IL-8_
Type I HS is ____ drive n
IgE
This is always a secondary immune response, never a primary response.
Type I HS
What drives the class switch of IGM to IGE?
IL-4
What are the 4 signs of inflammation driven by histamine
Tumor
Rubor
Calor
NOT DOLOR
Late-synthesized mediators in type I HS
- prostaglandins
- thromboxanes
- LEUKOTRIENES (sloe reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A)
Where do steroids act
At the beginning of the arachidonic acid
Where do NSAIDs act
COX pathway
Leukotrienes and histamine
Leukotrienes 1000x potency of histamine
Late phase of type I HS
Infiltration of tissues with eos and segs
Drives IgM to IgE class switch
IL-4
And IgM to igg
Activates eosinophils
IL-5
Causes class switching to IgA
Massive IgE production, mucus secretion in epithelial cells, enhances smooth muscle contraction
IL-13
What are IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 produced by
Activated TH2 cells
Historians release does what to blood pressure
Severely decreases it
-constricts the lungs a lot
Clinical manifestations of atopic/anaphylactic/immediate type I HS
Anaphylaxis Atopy Asthma Allergic rhinitis Urticaria Angiodema
What has a role in asthma (allergic and inflammation)
Leukotrienes
Cause of a type I reactions
Foods (peanuts, shellfish, red dye)
Drugs (penicillin)
Stinging insects (bees)
Why type of HS in penicillin reaction
Can have any of the 4 types of HS.
Most worried about type I
Eosinophils in parasites
Eosinophils collide with the parasite that has the IgE bound to it. It binds to the FC portion. Once eosinophils have cross linking, they release major basic protein and kills the parasite and causes tissue damage
Eosinophils in type I
IgE is already docked onto the mast cells. Waiting for antigen to demo and bind to it
Mechanism of type II HS
Cytotoxic/Ab dependent
-Ab bind to cell membrane and cause cellular destruction, inflammation, or cellular dysfunction
