Transfusion reactions
Type II
preformed host Abs attack donor cels
EBF

autoimmune hemolytic anemia
type II
produce Abs agaisnt their own blood cells
Adverse drug reactions
Type II
drugs act as a hapten and attach to RBCs to which Abs react
Goodpasture
type II
Abs against IV collagen in the BM of glomeruli and lungs
acute serum sickness
Type III
causes arthritis, vasculitis, nephritis
fibrinoid necrosis of the vessels
deposition of immune complexes d/t introduction of large amount foreign substance
Tuberculin reaction PPD
Type IV DTH
previously sensitized individuals
re-exposure causes reddening and induration at site 8-12h post-exposure
granulomatous infection
strong T cell activation to persistent non-degradable antigen (TB)
a. Activates macrophages into epithelioid cells
contact dermatitis
- Contact with urushiol causes vascular dermatitis
a. Epidermal blistering with mononuclear infiltrates
