16
Q

type _______ hypersensitivity reactions are dependent on the interaction of specific antibodies with the given antigen

type _____ hypersensitivity reactions recognize through antigen receptors on T cells

A

type 1-3 are dependent on antibody interaction with antigen

type 4 through antigen receptors on T cells

17
Q

name 3 type 2 hypersensitivity reactions

A

myasthenia gravis - causes muscle weakness

graves disease - stimulates cells to produce more thyroid hormones

goodpasture syndrome - glomerulonephritis, or bleeding in lungs

18
Q

Transfusion reaction and Rh reaction are what kind fo hypersensitivity

A

type 2

19
Q

skin and food allergies are what hypersensitivity

A

type 1

20
Q

which hypersensitivity is the cytotoxic type name 3 types

A

type 2

myasthenia graves (muscle weakness)
graves disease (too much thyoroid hormone)
goodpasture

21
Q

which hypersensitivity is the immune complex typw
name 2 types

A

type 3
arthritis
glomerulonephritis

22
Q

what hypersensitivity is the anaphylactic typw

give 4 examples

A

type 1
hay fever
asthma
hives
anaphylaxis

23
Q

what hypersensitivity is the cell-mediated type
give 2 examples

A

type 4

tuberculosis (granulomatous disease) and poison ivy (delayed skin reaction)

24
Q

what antibody is involved with type 1

A

ige antibody

25
Q

what is involved with type 4

A

mononuclear cells (T lymphocytes and macrophages)

26
Q

what is involved with type 2

A

cytotoxic antibodies (IgG and IgM) formed against cell surface antigens

27
Q

what is involved with type 3

A

antibodies (IgG, IgM, IgA) fomred against exogenous or endogenous antigens

28
Q

_____ is essential in type 1 hypersensitivity for IgM to be changed to IgE

A

IL4

29
Q

Explain the pathogenesis of type 1 hypersensitivity

A

1st exposure - no significant morphological changes. IgE produced and attaches to mast cells and basophils

2nd exposure to antigen = mast cells and basophils are activated and immediately release their granule contents. very fast response (5-10 mins)

causes smooth muscle contraction, edema (increased vascular permeability), chemoattraction of eosinophils, platelet activation, protease effects (cleavage of kinins - inflammation)

30
Q

divided type 1 hypersensitivity into phases

A

initial phase (3-30 mins)
vasodilation, vascular leakage, smooth muscle spasm

late phase - allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma, EOSINOPHILS

31
Q

_____ cells are bone marrow driven cells widely distributed in tissues around blood vessels and sub epithelial sites where type 1 reaction occurs

A

MAST CELLS

32
Q

Eosinophils are particularly important in the _______ phase of type 1 hypersensitivity

A

late phase

33
Q

explain the transfusion reaction

what type of hypersensitivity?

A

C5-9 membrane attack complex makes holes in acceptor’s RBC. sodium rushes into the cell

TYPE 2 (complement dependent)

34
Q

antibody dependent compliment mediated hypersensitivity reaction

A

type 2

Rh negative mother produces ab against an Rh+ baby

no isses in 1st pregnancy

35
Q

antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity

A

target cell is coated with IgG and destorying cell has receptor for Fc region

36
Q
A
