Q

What is sensitization?

A

an abnormal primary response to an antigen such that on subsequent exposure, the individual mounts an excessive or abnormal secondary response that causes disease rather than immunity

17
Q

Where are mast cells located?

A

in vascular submucosal layers

18
Q

What is the immediate release mediator released from mast cells during IgE mediated degranulation?

A

Histamine

19
Q

What is the function of histamine?

A

increased vascular permeability and bronchoconstriction

20
Q

What are the mediators released from mast cells minutes following activation of IgE?

A

arachadonic metabolites (prosta glandins and leukotrienes) and the platelet activating factor

21
Q

What is the function of leukotrienes?

A

it is the same as histamine (increased vascular permeability and bronchoconstriction) just more potent

22
Q

What happens hours after IgE is activated?

A

synthesis of IL4 and IL5

23
Q

What does IL4 do?

A

acts on T helper 0 to change to T helper 2s and does class switching on B cells to IgE

24
Q

What does IL5 do?

A

eosinophil activation

25
Q

What is anaphylaxis?

A

rapid generalized mast cell degranulation followed by eosinopil degranulation

26
Q

What is the initial response to mast cell degeneration in dogs?

A

vomiting and diarrhea

27
Q

What is atopy?

A

the genetic disposition for IgE mediated hypersensitivity

28
Q

What is an allergy?

A

a hypersensitivity reaction

29
Q

What is the low grade fever, lack of appetite and lethargy the day after vaccination caused by?

A

proinflammatory cytokines - IL1, IL6, and TNF

30
Q

Typically, when can a moderate proinflammatory cytokine response to a vaccination happen (which vaccine)?

A

after any of the vaccines, can happen after the first

31
Q

When can type 1 hypersensitivity occur (after what vaccine)?

A

cannot happen after the 1st vaccine, usually after the first or third

32
Q

How long does it take for a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction to occur?

A

15-30 minutes for reaction

33
Q

Where is IgE bound in b cells?

A

in the transmembrane part of the cell

34
Q

What are the mediators of the mast cell?

A

antihistimines and antileukotriens

35
Q

What is the main mediator for t-cell cytokines?

A

IL31

36
Q

What is IL31 responsible for in dogs?

A

itching

37
Q

What are the commercial product that inhibits IL31?

A

cytopoint and apoquel

38
Q

How does cytopoint inhibit IL31?

A

it inhibits the binding of IL31

39
Q

How does apoquel inhibit IL31?

A

it affects the Jak-Stat pathway and inhibits the signal from IL31

40
Q

What is the target of oral immunotherapies?

A

IgA - inhibit t-regulatory cells
