Hypersesnitivity Flashcards
Hypersensitivity reactions are caused by the immune system and can lead to ___ for the host.
Damage
_____ : prior exposure to an antigen that resulted in production of antibodies and/or immune cells creative to that antigen. It is required for a hypersensitivity reaction .
Pre-sensitization
There are four types of hypersensitivity. 1 through 3 are ____ and 4 is ___.
Humoral
Cellular
Type I hypersensitivity reactions involves antibody ____. The antigen must be ____. ___ cell activation is the main effector mechanism.
Type of reactions:
IgE
Soluble
Mast
Allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, atopic eczema, systemic anaphylaxis, some drug allergies
Type II hypersensitivity reactions involves antibody ___. Two pathways:
1. Cell or matrix associated antigen activating ___, ___, and ___ cells.
2. Cell surface receptor (antigen), ____ alters the singling.
IgG
Complement
Phagocytes
NK
Antibody
Type III hypersensitivity reaction involves antibody ____. Antigen is ___. The effector mechanism is activating ___ and ____.
Examples of reactions:
IgG
Soluble
Complement
Phagocytes
Serum sickness, Arthus reaction
Type IV hyper sensitivity is ___ ___ hypersensitivity (DTH) and involves ___ cells.
Delayed type
T cells
Table of the four types of hypersensitivity:
Type I: allergic response:
___ antibodies produced in response to initial exposure bind to receptors on ___ cells. On second exposure, ___ attached to the mast cells recognized the ___ and binds. ____ of the cell is triggered by release of histamine, leading to allergy symptoms.
IgE
Mast
IgE
Allergen
Degranulation
Type I hypersensitivity:
Antigen presenting cell activates ___ cells which produce IL-4. This activates __ cells and they become a plasma cell that produces ____ antibody. This antibody binds to ___ cells.
TH2
B
IgE
Mast
Type I hypersensitivity reactions are traditional ____, such as:
Allergies
Urticaria (hives), hay fever, eczema, food allergies, allergic asthma, anaphylaxis
Type I hypersensitivity:
Immediate response within minutes caused by antigen _____ IgE on a presensitized mast cell, ____ and release of histamine leading to _____.
Delayed response takes hours when mast cells produce ____ that attract eosinophils and other cytokines leading to ____ and tissue damage
Cross-links
Degranulation
Vasodilation
Chemokines
Inflammation
What factors impact development of type I hypersensitivity reactions?
Genetics, environment-hygiene hypothesis, microbial and other environmental exposure
If you’re exposed to something your body either develops a ___ response or an ____ response
Tolerant
Inflammatory
Treatments of type I hypersensitivity are typically ____, not curative and include:
Palliative
Antihistamines, bronchodilators, epinephrine, desensitization therapy
