Immunopathology Flashcards
type I (immediate/anaphylactic) hypersensitivity
mediated by TH2 cell cytokines
IL-4: B cells class switch to IgE
IL-5: development and activation of eosinophils
type II (Ab-mediated) hypersensitivity
secreted IgG and IgM Abs directly injure cells
type III (immune complex mediated) hypersensitivity
IgG and IgM Abs bind Ags, Ab-Ag complexes deposit in tissues and induce inflammation
type IV (cell mediated) hypersensitivity
sensitized T-lymphocytes (TH1 and TH17 and CTLs)
vasoactive substances
histamine, PAF, neutral proteases (activate complement and kinins), leukotrienes C4 D4 E4, prostaglandin D2
smooth muscle contractors
histamine, PAF, leukotrienes C4 D4 E4, prostaglandins (D2)
cellular infiltration
cytokines, neutrophil and eosinophil chemotactic factors, leukotriene B4
hereditary angioedema
autosomal dominant C1 inhibitor deficiency, presents with asphyxia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea post minor trauma or emotional stress
Type I diabetes
HLA DR3/4
autoimmunne hepatitis

primary sjogren syndrome
HLA DR3
ankylosing spondylitis
HLA B27
postgonococcal arthritis

rheumatoid arthritis
HLA DR4, PTPN22 gene
