Lesson 12 Immune Flashcards
Hypersensitivity 1-3
Allergy
Autoimmunity
Alloimmunity
Allergy definition
Allergy is a harmful effects of hypersensitivity to environmental antigens
Autoimmunity definition
Intolerance to self-antigens and attacks
Alloimmunity
Immune reaction to tissues of other individuals (transplant 器官移植)
Allergy allergen
有咩allergen?
Environmental
Atypical(非正常)
Genetic predisposed (遺傳傾向)
Allergen is too big to be phagocytosed
Or coated with non-allergenic
Allergen eg pollen, egg, fish, cigarette, animal, drug like penicillin
Allergy type 1-4
Type 1: IgE mediated( immediate response)
Type 2: tissue specific reaction
Type 3: immune complex mediated 免疫 複合
Type 4: cell mediated( delayed)
Type 1 allergy
IgE bind to mast cell
Allergic symptoms in immediate hypersensitivity reactins
Histamine
Acting on H1 receptors: contracts bronchial smooth muscle
-) bronchial constriction -) increased permeability-) erythrocytes increase-) increase blood flow
Acting thru h2 receptors
Gastric acid secretion control
Hypersensitivity process
Antigen bind to antibody
To cardiovascular -) vasodilation -) low blood pressure, faint
To skin-) nerve end irritation -) itching skin
To lung-) constriction of bronchioles-) airway obstructed-) dyspnea
ALL: SEVERE OXYGEN DEFICIT TO BRAIN
Type 1 hypersensitive manifestation (IgE)
Itching
Hypotensiion
Bronchospasm
Dysrhythmias
Such as clinical asthma, anaphylaxis
Treatment for type 1 hypersensitivity
Genetic predisposition
Test: food challenge, skin test, lab test
Desensitisation
Type 2 hypersensitivity (tissue specific mediate)
5 mechanisms+ clinical malfunction
- Cell is destroyed by antibodies and complement
- Cell destruction through phagocytosis
- Soluble antigen may enter the circulation and deposit on tissue.
- Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity
- Cause target cell malfunction
Clinical example
Autoimmune haemolytic anemia
Attack RBC
Blood type against
Type A against B
Type B against A
Type AB no against
Type O both against
Type 3 immune complex mediate
Antigen-antibody complex
Large-) macrophage
Small-) renal clea rance
Intermediate中型 -) deposit in tissue
Type 3 example? (Antigen-antibody)
Systemic lupus erythematosus
Rheumatoid arthritis
Antibody vs antigen
- Antibody binds to antigen
2.immune complex form in circulation - Complex deposit in blood vessel
- Activated complement
- Inflammatory response
6.release chemical mediator - Tissue damage
