Q

What are the 5 types of hypersensitivity reactions?

A

1) Type 1 (anaphylactic and free antigen crosslinked IgE
(rapid reaction, because has preformed antibodies)

Test with IgE

2) Type 2 Cytotoxic (direct and indirect coombs test)
Direct: detects antibodies bound to patient’s RBC

Indirect: detects serum antibodies

IgM and IgG

3) Type 3: immune complex immune complex-antigen/antibody, its IgG

(Vasculitis or systemic manifestations)

Examples: SLE, polyarertis nodosa, post streptococcal glomerulonephrtis

4) Type 4:Sensitized T cells encounter antigen and the release cytokines (lead to macrophage activation)

Usually this is delayed or last cell mediated, and not transferred by serum.

Examples: Contact dermatitis
Graft vs host disease
