Immune Disorders Flashcards
3 major classifications of immune disorders
Exaggerated
Diminished
Loss of self-recognition/autoimmunity
Types of exaggerated immune disorders
Hypersensitivity
Hypergammaglobulinemia
Heightened state of immune response; enhanced immune reaction to an antigen. Normal response but uncontrolled that results in inflammation and possible tissue damage
Hypersensitivity
Type 1 hypersensitivity examples
Allergic
Anaphylactic
Antibody class implicated in type 1 hypersensitivity
IgE, IgA
Type 1 hypersensitivity reaction in blood bank
IgA antibody
Type 2 cytotoxic hypersensitivity examples
cold auto, warm auto, transfusion reaction, HDFN
Antibody class implicated in type 2 cytotoxic hypersensitivity
IgG, IgM
Hypersensitivity in which antigen-antibody reaction activates complement resulting in cell death due to lysis
Type 2 cytotoxic
Antibody implicated in type 3 immune complex hypersensitivity
IgG, IgM
Hypersensitivity in which IgG or IgM antibody attaches to antigen and forms immune complex, which is deposited in extra vascular tissues and infiltrated by neutrophils causing local tissue damage
Type 3 immune complex
Examples of type 3 immune complex hypersensitivity
Serum sickness, Arthus reaction
Hypersensitivity in which CD4 T lymphs react with foreign antigens and release lymphokines that attract neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages
Type 4 delayed
Hypersensitivity that promotes fibrin deposition, produces edema, enhances inflammatory response
Type 4 delayed
Examples of type 4 delayed hypersensitivity
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis Tuberculin-type hypersensitivity Contact dermatitis GVHD Allograft rejection Poison ivy
Type(s) of hypersensitivity that are humoral mediated
