Q

Explain the “late phase reaction” events during allergic reaction

A

Delayed secretion of IL5 from mast cells along with IL5 secretion from Th2 will activate eosinophils degranulation (occurs about 8h after the first phase reaction)

Q

What are the main symptoms of anaphylactic shock?

A
  1. Increased HR
  2. Increased vascular permeability
  3. Hypotension and decreased tissue perfusion
  4. Broncospasm

Q

In which cases can anaphylactic shock occur?

A
  1. Intra venous allregan (animal toxin/ drug)

2. Quick absorbtion through the gut mucosa to the blood (peanut)

16
Q

Atopy?

A

Genetic predesposition to high IgE levels (it doesnt mean that the person will have any allergic reaction in his life)

17
Q

Atopic triad?

A
  1. Atopic eczema
  2. Hay fever
  3. Bronchial asthma
    Often associated with food allergies
18
Q

Properties of allergic asthma

A
  1. Multifactorial: genetic + environmental factors

2. Genetic hetrogenicity (many different alleles on different genes will have the same phentoypic appearance)

19
Q

Hygenic theory

A

In endemic regions where the rate of microbial infections are high there was less allergic incidances.
The explanation is that microbial infections such as viral infection activate the cellular immunity hence activating Th1 which in turn inhibits Th2 by producing IFN gamma

20
Q

Antibody mediated glomerulo nephritis can occur in 2 hyper sensitivity reactions explain

A
  1. Hypersensitivity type 2- due to autoreactive IgGs against the BM of glomeruli (linear deposits)
  2. Hypersensitivity type 3- Immune complex deposition along the BM (granular deposits)
21
Q

What is the mechanism of tissue damage and IC deposition in type 3 hypersensitivity reactions?

A

IC formation

  1. Mast cell degranulation (Fc gamma RIIIB) release of vasoactive mediators and increase permeability
  2. Complement activation release of C3a C5a further causing mast cell degranulation and chemotaxis of neutrophils which by frustrated phagocytosis will release hydrolytic enzymes and ROS leading to tissue damage
  3. Platelet activation and release of vasoactive mediators
  4. deposition of immune complexes and platelets at the site of injury.
22
Q

What are the 3 typesof type 4 hypesensitivity reaction?

A
  1. Th1 activation by soluble antigen - macrophages are activated by IFN gamma - release pro inflammatory cytokines and chemokines - recruit more lymphocytes and macrophages- granuloma formation
    Ex: contact dermatitis, TB infection
  2. Th2 activation by soluble antigen - IgE production - similarily to allergic reaction but chronic
    Ex: chronic asthma, chronic rhinitis
  3. CTL activation by cell associated antigen - cytotoxicity
    Ex: contact dermatitis
23
Q

The major difference between type 1, 2 and 4 hypersersenitivity reactions?

A

Type 1,2 are antibody mediated responses and type 4 is cell mediated

24
Q

Poison Ivy type of hypersensitivity reaction, give another example

A

Type 4 causind contact dermatitis

NIckle induced contact dermatitis

25
Q

The effects of activated Th1 (4)

A
  1. MCP1 secretion - macrophages chamotaxis
  2. TNF alpha TNF beta secretion - local tissue damage and expression of adhesion molecules on endothalial cells
  3. INF gamma secretion - macrophage activation which in turn release IL1 IL6 TNF alpha
  4. IL3 / GM-CSF secretion - monocyte production in the bone marrow
