type 1 hypersen Flashcards
first exposure
sensitization
pathway
t cells activated against antigen
immune cells pick up and migrate to lymph node
what might the antigen presenting cell present
co stimulatory moolecules
naive t cell
before its seen the antigen
primed t
after seeing anitgen and binding to co stimulatory molecule
th2
differentiated by t cell
excited th2
releases il-4, 5
action of il-4
switches igm to ige
action of il-5
releases eosinophils whuch have granules which release substances
what do ige attach to
fc recepotrs on mast cells finishing the sensitisation phase
second exposure
mast cell binds to antigen and degranulates releasing mediators
chemical mediator released
histamine
action of histamine
binds to h1 receptors causing bronchoconstriction and vasodilation in blood vessels and increases vascular oermeability so fluid may leak out leading to swellinge
leukotrienes
fascilitate communication between a group of cells
