Lec 7-2 - Allergy / Hypersensitivity Flashcards
process that occurs in subjects previously exposed to an antigen and who developed an immune response to that antigen
sensitization
type 1 hypersensitivity is blank mediated
igE
type 2 is blank mediated
ab mediated cytotoxicity, NK, complement… cell bound
type 3 is blank mediated
immune complex mediated (soluble)
type 4 is blank
cell mediated… no immunoglobulin
harmless antigens that can stimulate an igE response
allergens
upon first exposure to allergen, large amounts of blank are produced
igE
high affinity receptors for igE that bind ig# without the ig being bound to an antigen
FceRI
these bind free circulating igE via the FceRI
mast cells and basophils
this phase of allergic reaction is characterized by antigen binding and FceRI crosslinking
activation
upon activation, mast cells and basophils immediately go through blank
degranulation
contents of cellular granules are released into the surrounding environment
degranulation
in this phase, preformed mediators stored in cell granules are released
early phase
early phase response is responsible for the majority of severe clinical manifestations of blank
type 1 hypersensitivity
synthesis and secretion of cytokines and chemokines occurs in this phase
late phase
