Immunology II (pg 208+) Flashcards
What is type I hypersensitivity rxn?
Free antigen cross linking on IgE on mast cells and basophils
What causes the delayed type I hypersensitivity rxn?
Production of arachidonic acid metabolites
What is the type II hypersensitivity rxn?
Cytotoxic = IgM and IgG bind to fixed antigen on other cells, leading to cellular destruction
What are the two types of C regions on the light chains of abs?
Kappa and lambda
What are the C regions of the heavy chain of Abs?
Part for specificity of IgA, IgG etc.
What are the 3 MOA of type II hypersensitivity?
- Opsonization leading to phagocytosis
- Complement mediated lysis
- Antibody-dependent, cell mediated cytotoxicity
What is the direct Coomb’s test?
detects antibodies that have adhered to patient’s RBCs (e/g/ test an Rh + infant of an Rh - mother)
What is the indirect Coomb’s test?
Detects antibodies that can adhere to other RBCs (e.g. test an Rh - woman for Rh + abs)
What is the MOA of papain on abs? Pepsin?
Papain = breaks Fc from variable region and light chains apart Pepsin = breaks Fc from variable region
What is the Arthus rxn?
a local subacute antibody mediated type III reaction
What is type IV hypersensitivity rxn?
Delayed type–sensitized T lymphocytes encounter antigen, and then release lymphokines–no ab involved
What are the four T’s of type IV hypersensitivity rxns?
T lymphocytes
Transplant rejections
TB skin test
Touching (contact dermatitis)
What are the components of the ACID mnemonic that describes that four types of hypersensitivity rxns?
- Anaphylactic and atopic
- Cytotoxic (antibody mediated)
- Immune complexes
- Delayed
