  • Front
  • Back
sensitization
primary exposure to antigen
immediate phase
5-60 minutes
controlled by histamine and other mediators stored in granules of mast cells
late phase
4-24 hours
controlled by eosinophils
Sensitization phase
uptake of soluble Ag by APC
Ig-class switching of IgE
est. of IgE+ memory B cells and memory T cells
immediate phase
upon 2nd exposure
crosslinking of 2 or more IgE leads to degranulation of mast cells
Late phase
involves Th2 cells
release IL-4, IL-13
Release IL-5, which stimulates eosinophils (from bone marrow to tissues)
immunological hypersensitivities
lead to tissue damage
anaphylaxis
used to describe systemic immediate hypersensitivity
Type I hypersensitivity
aka immediate hypersensitivity
IgE
degranulation of mast cells, basophils, eosinophils
rxn occurs very fast
often assoc. w/ autoimmune diseases
Asthma, hayfever, anaphylaxis, food allergy
Type II hypersensitivity
Cytotoxic hypersensitivity
involves IgG and complement
causes inflammation in tissues, circulating Abs react w/ host cell surface

assoc. with Goodpasture syndrome, Purpura/drug sensitivity, hemolytic disease of newborn (Rh-antigen of RBC), and Myasthenia Gravis
Type III hypersensitivity
Immune complex hypersensitivity
involves circulating Ab-Ag complexes
complexes fix complement to release anaphylatoxin C3a and C5a
tissue deposition leads to tissue damage
release of vasoactive amines from basophils and other inflammatory cells (neutrophils)

assoc. w/ Serum sickness, Arthus rxn, systemic lupus erythematosus, and extrinsic allergic alveolitis
Type IV hypersensitivity
Delayed hypersensitivity
assoc. w immune cells, not Abs
mycobacteria, TB injection
cytokines induce more TNF alpha, IL-1 and IL-6, which induces productions of chemokines
chemokines attract macrophages and other T cells to lesions

assoc. with delayed hypersens, contact hypersens, and TH2 responses
Type V hypersensitivity
changes physiology
assoc. w/ Graves disease and Myasthenia gravis (can be Type V or Type II)
CD19
coreceptor of BCR

specific marker of BCR
CD 19 and CD21
B cell co-receptors needed for potent response/activation of B cells
CD 21
binds complement recptor C3b
B cell needs CD 19 and CD21
also needs CD4 T helper cells in order to create potent response
T helper cell role in B cell activation
Ag binds BCR=1st signal to B cell

Helper Th2 cell=delivers 2nd signal to B cell via CD40L and cytokines

B cell proliferates and differentiates into plasma cells
B cells develop in bone marrow
mature B cells migrate to lymph nodes via bloodstream

leave via efferent lymphatic vessel
