Q

Type I hypersensitivity characteristics.

A
  • Free antigen cross-links IgE on presensitized mast cells and basophils – Release vasoactive amines that act on postcapillary venules (i.e., histamine)
  • Reaction develops Rapidly after Ag exposure because of PREFORMED antibody

Q

Type II hypersensitivity characteristics.

A

-IgM, IgG bind to fixed antigen on “enemy” cell, leading to cellular destruction

Q

What are the 3 mechanisms of Type II hypersensitivity?

A

1-Opsonization (phagocytosis or complement activation)
2-Complement-mediated lyssi
3-Antibody-Dependent Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity (ADCC), usually due to NK cells

Q

Type III hypersensitivity characteristics.

A
  • Ag-Ab (IgG) complexes activate complement, which attracts neutrophils
  • Neuts release lysosomal enzymes

Q

What is Serum Sickness?

A
  • Type III hypersensitivity
  • Abs to foreign proteins are produced (takes 5 days)
  • Immune complexes form and are deposited in membranes, where they fix complement (leads to tissue damage)

Q

What is an Arthus reaction?

A
  • Type III hypersensitivity
  • Local subacute Ab-mediated HS reaction
  • Intradermal injection of Ag induces antibodies, which form Ag-Ab complexes in skin
17
Q

What are the S/S of an Arthus reaction?

A

Edema
Necrosis
Activation of Complement

18
Q

What is more common; Serum Sickness or Arthus reaction?

A

Serum Sickness

19
Q

Type IV hypersensitivity characteristics.

A
  • Sensitized T lymphocytes encounter Ag and release Lymphokines
  • Leads to Macrophage activation
  • NO antibodies involve (NOT transferable by serum)
20
Q

What are the 4 T’s of type IV hypersensitivity?

A

T lymphocytes
Transplant rejections
TB skin tests
Touching (contact dermatitis)
