18
Q

Hours

A

Cytokine Synthesis and Secretion
-IL-4,5,6,13
TNF alpha
MIP 1alpha

19
Q

Mast Cells

A

IL-6
IL-13
(degranulation in presence of IgE)

20
Q

Basophils

A

IL-3,4,6,13
Histamine
GM-CSF
(basophil differentiation in bone marrow)

21
Q

Eosinophils

A

IL-8
Degranulation
(terminal effector cells of allergic responses)

22
Q

Th2 cells

A

IL-5
IL-13
(Eotaxins)

23
Q

Factors of ganules have effects on

A

GI tract, respiratory tract, blood vessels

24
Q

Enhance mast cell degranulation

A
stimulation of adrenoreceptors
-Norepinephrine
-Phenylephrine
-block Beta adrenoreceptors
Propranol
25
Q

Inhibition of Mast cell degranulation

A

blocking of adrenoreceptors

  • stimulate Beta adrenoreceptors
  • isoproterenol
  • epinephrine
  • salbutamol
26
Q

Immediate inflammation time Vs late phase rxn

A

10-20 minutes

6-12 hours

27
Q

Mast cells
alpha receptor stimulation:
beta receptor stimulation:

A
  • enhances degranulation

- suppresses degranulation

28
Q

Smooth muscles
alpha receptor stimulation:
beta receptor stimulation:

A
  • contracts

- relaxes

29
Q

Blood vessels
alpha receptor stimulation:
beta receptor stimulation:

A
  • constricts

- dilates

30
Q

Clinical type I hypersensitivity examples

A
  • allergic anaphylaxis
  • milk allergy
  • food allergy
  • allergies to parasites
  • atopic dermatitis
31
Q

The most common body system usually affected is the

A

respiratory system

liver in dogs

32
Q

Allergic anaphylaxis is serious why?

A

life threatening

33
Q

Dx of Type I hypersensitivity

A
  • intradermal skin testing
  • passive cutaneus anaphylaxis
  • measuring IgE
34
Q

Atopic Dermatitis

A

allergen, IL-31, sensory neurons cause itching

35
Q

Tx of type I hypersensitivity

A
  • avoid exposure
  • corticosteroids/antihistamines
  • beta stimulants: epinephrine
  • alpha antagonists: methoxamine
  • allergen specific immunotherapy
36
Q

Immunotherapy

A
  • injections, oral drops
  • increase production of IgG antibodies
  • main antibody involved is IgE, IgE & IgG will compete for antigen and eliminate antigen faster
37
Q

Atopic Dermatitis tx

A

block the IL-31 which will stop itching but not the allergen

38
Q

Allergen

A

antigen that can trigger type I hypersensitivity

39
Q

If the rate of release of vasoactive molecules from these mast cells exceeds its ability to adjust to the rapid changes in the vascular system, an animal will undergo allergic anaphylaxis and may die. T/F

A

TRUE
