4. Cell mediated delayed, mediated by T
what type of HS is mediated by...

IgE
IgG
Immune Complex
Cell mediated
IgE 1 Immediate
IgG 2 Ab mediated
Cell Mediated 4 delayed (t mediated)
Immune Complex 3
in hypersensitivity is the AG ccauseing the damage
NOPE!

its the inappropriate IR that cauess it
whats the deal with hypersensitivity
its a prolonged inappropriate humoral or CMI IR that is uncontrolled

It causes damage!
what hypersensitivities are humoral, what are CMI
humoral: 1 (immediate) 2 3
CMI: 4 (delayed)
what is atopy
type I immediate hypersecretion of IgE

**its IgE so we know the allergen mimics a parasite

SUPER COMMON
is atopy common, does it ru n in families
super!

**it is gentic and so will run in fmailies

**MOST common disorder of the immune system
what are the phases of type I rxns
1. sensitization (dictates the Th2 response this is when we are exposed to allergens. Th2 secreted IL4, class switch to IgE)

2. effector phase
what type of response is elicited by the sensitization phase of a HS I? do sx manifext
Th2

IgE requires Th2

NO sx in sensitization
explain what goes on in the sensitization phase of type 1 rxns
1. initial exposure of AG elicits Th2 response.


2. IL4 and IL13 cause IgE formation

3. IgE binds to the FceR on mast cells. the mast cell is now sensitized
when is a mast cell sensitized in a type I rxn
when the mask cell has IgE bound to its FceR

**the exposure of allergen elicits a Th2 which makes IgE. The IgE binds hte mast cell and SENSITIZES IT

**mast cells are located in CT close to epithelium, BV, Nerves, Airways, GI, near musouc porducing areas
what does it mean that location matters in a type 1 HS
type 1, IgE, immediate, TH2 mediated

**mast cells become sensitized when IgE binds to the receptors on them

**MAST cells are LOCATED in the CT near mucous producing epithelium (GI, Airway). Near BV and Nerves

**becase of the location of the mast cell we will have a specific response in these areas
when does the effector phase of a HS 1 happen
we we must have already has sensitization so an allergen has made a Th2 response and made LOTS of IgE, this IgE then binds to mast cells and sensitizes them

EFEFCTOR: happens when there is another exposre of hte same AG. the allergen then crosslinks the IgE bound FceR on the mast cells adn the mast cells activate and release their contents. Here we have allergic contents
in a type 1 HS when do mast cells degranulate
after the second exposure!

sensitization has occured but no sx was present, when its been exposed 2 we get the effector phase where mast cells degranulate and we have histamine rleased at hte CT lining mucoous secreting epithelium. Nerves and BV
during the effector phase mast cells degranulate what is rleeased
vasoactive amines: histamine
lipid mediators
cytokines
when senssitized mast cells are activated via crosslinking if IgE bound FceR what happens
1. DEGRANULATION: histamine, protease, heparin, TNFa

2. Prostaglandin/Leukotriene Syntheis

3. Cytokine release and synthesis
so what is crosslinking of mast cells for HS I
on the mast cell there are FceR and IgE that is specific to an allergen has bound

When the allergen is seen again it binds to the IgE and crosslinks the receptors

this cauess
1. degranulation
2. prostaglandin/leukotriene release/production
3. cytokine release/production
we know whan mast cells are activated in HS I histamine, PG/Leukotrienes, and cytokines are released what is the main fx of heac of these
1. histamine: vasodilation
2. PG/LKT: potentiate histamine effects
3. Cytokines: WBC recruitment
what is the primary mediator of HS I, and why is it called such
histamine, its made ahead of time and is stored before release. When the mast cell is activated by cross linking histamine effects are released immediatly
is there histamine inside of a sensitized mast cell
you bet! the cvell is sensitized and so has IgE bound but there has been no allergen to crosslink the IgE and cause histamine release

**sensitived has NO sx
when histamine is released from allergen activated mast in HS 1 what does it do
Immediate release with FAST effects, primary mediator bc its already made

binds H1 R (NO H1R on BV so BV still dilate!)
1. SM contraction of ilium, brinchi, and uterus
2. Vasodilation/vascular permiability
3. Increased mucus secretion
what causes
SM contraction
Vasodilatio
Mucus secretion
binding of histamine to H1 receptors
how can we block the SM contraction, vasodilation, and mucus secretion that is seen when Histamne Binds H1 R when allergen activated mast cells secretehistamine
ANTIHistamine
first generation enter the brain and make you tired
second generation dont enter the brain and wont make you tired

Block h1 receptor
what are antihistamines? do they totally reverse inflammation
block H1 Receptor

dont totally reduce bc there are other inflammatory mediators
what are some OTC 1 and 2 generation antihistamines. what are they used to TX
Allergic Rhinitis

1: make you tired: benedryl, phenergan, atraxm vistrail

2. wont make you sleepy: claritin, clariex, zyrtec, allegra

Pill, liquid, nasal spray, eye drosp
allergic Rhinitis can be treated what what class of drugs
antihistamines, blocj the H1 R so histamine cant 1. constrict SM, vasodilate, or produce mucus

**1 make you tired
**2 dont make you tired

**Antihistamines wont totally block the inflammation bc there are other inflammatory mediators
when mast cells are activated HS 1 and li[pid mediators are released what happens?
inflammation is potentiated!

2 mediators, NOT preformed! (recall histamine was a primary and it was preformed)

membrane phosplolipids degenerate, and PLA2 converts to AA that is then made into PGD2 nad Leukotrienes C4,D4, E4 by COX nad lipooxygenase
what are the 2 mediators of the mast cell activation in HS 1
lipid mediators: mast phosphilipids break down. PLA2 makes AA. AA is used to make PGD2, adn LTC4, LTD4, LTE4.

PGD2: vasodilation, bronchoconstriction, bring PMN and eosinophiles

LT: slower to begin but last much longer, same as histamine
IN HS1 what causes PMN and eosinophiles to flood the area
lipid mediators PGD2

also causes bronchoconstriction and vasodilation
what does PGD2 do?
its a prostaglandin li[pid mediator of HS 1.

causes vasodilation, bronchoconstriction, adn brings PMN nad eosinophiles to the area
what allows prolonged vasodilation, SM constriction and mucus secretion in HS1
leukotrienes

LTC4
TLD4
LTE4

slow reacting substances of anaphylaxis. do the same things as histamine but happen alter and effects last longer
we said antihistamines can prevent Histamine from binding to H1 R, BUT that wasnt the end all bc there were other inflammatory mediators. what are these mediators and how are they TX
leukotriens (the ones that make histamines effects really last a long time)

LTD4 R inhibitors (D and E will bind, C has its own R)

pill to block airway constriction

Singulair, Accilate, Ultair
what are LTD4 inhibitors
inhibit the leukotriene effects of HI1 Rxns

**block the LTD/E4 from binding and prolonging vasidilation, mucus secretion and SM constriction

**pills, especially useful in airway mgmt

**singulair, accolate, ultair
what are mast cell stabilizers
inhibit mast cell activation!

good, dont even let it be a problem

Must be taken prophylactically, once its activated these wont do anything (cant reverse sx)

given as inhalers or eye drops
so we have antihistamines, LT inhibitors, adn Mast cell stabilizers. what WONT help if we have an active response
mast cell stabilizers. they need to be given prophylatically to PREVENT activation, once activated there is nothing we can do
so when a mast cell is activated by allergen crosslinking in HS 1 we have hte release of histamine, LT and what else? what does this last thing do
Cytokines

**de novo synthesie, (not prestored same as LT) TNFa can be preformed

LATE PHASE repsonse, wont occur for several hours and the effects last several days

**bring eisinophiels and PMN to the area
what are the cytokines that are made with mast cell release in HS 1? are mast hte ONLY ones htat make these sytokines
IL1
IL3 hematpoesis
IL4
IL5
IL6
ECF: eosiniphile chemoattractant factor
NCF: neutrophile chemoattractnat factor

TNFa: NOT made de novo as others, can be made and stored

**Th2 can also make some of thse
what is responsible for the last phase HS 1 rxn (ocurs after house of exposure and can last several days)
cytokines IL1,3,4,5,6,TNFa, ECA, NCA

causes accumulations of Eosinophiles and Neutrophiles
when cytokines are released and eosinophiles and neutrophiles are stim to build up what happens?
late phase HS 1 Rxn

Eosinophile: 30% of total cells there, their mediators cause tissue damage

PMN: 30% of total cells there. tissue damage

TISSUE DAMAGE
are eosinophiles and pmn the only cells recruited by cytokiens in a late phase HS 1 response
nope, thises are major and indice TONS of TISSUE damage

Th2, Basophiles, Macrophages
what characterizes the early nad latephase of the HS 1
EARLY:
vascular and SM changes (sm contraction, vasodilation, mucus secretion. Histamine. PGD2, LT

LATE:
Inflammation!!!
IL4,TNFa, IL5, NCF,ECF. leukocyte migration and activation.
inflaminflammation is characterized what what phase of hte HS 1 rxn, what characterizes the otehr
Inflammation: LATE (cytokines)

EARLY: vascular and SM changes (histamine, PHD2, LTC,D,E4)
what prevents the late phase response of HS1
corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory)

inhibits PLA2 so no AA can be made so NO PGD2 or LT can be made ---> decreased cytokine production, decreased infiltration of eosinophiles and PMN, decreased MHC II
what effect does corticosteroids have on HS 1
prevent/minimize late phase rxn

**inhibit PLA2, NO AA, this means less IL2 IL1, decreased infiltration by eosinophiles nad PMN, also decreased MHC 2
why are there so many different ways that corticosteroids can be given to prevent hte late phase of HS1 RXNs *name 4 administrations
because location matters in type 1!!!!

1. InhaledL control asthma (long term asthma releif)

2. Oral: systemic, tx SEVERE asthma (fast asthma releif)

3. Nasal/Eye Drops: allergic rhinitis. Rhinocort, flonase, nasonex, beconase

4. Topically: atopic dermitis
asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermitis are all what type of HS? how can each be tx with the same class of med
HI 1

can use CORTICOSTEROIDS to tx all bc they are delivered differently. LOCATION MATTERS

Asthma: oral for short term releif of severe problems. or inhiled to long term control

Allergic Rhinitis: nose spray

Atopic Dermiti: topical administration
why do immediate HS rxns (HS1) manifest in so many dif ways (asthma, atopic dermitis, allergic rhinbitis)
based on the LOCATION of allergen in the body

site of allergen exposure and thus location of mast cell degranulation (can be serious or mild)

1. Respiratory: allergic rhinitis, asthma
2. Skin/Mucosa: atopic dermitis, atopic urticaria
3. GI allergies: food allergies
4. Systemic Anaphylaxis
waht happens when the site of allergen exposeure of a HS 1 occurs at..
respiratory
skin/mucosa
GI
Systemic Anphylaxis
allergic rhibitis asthma
atopic dermitis, urticaria
food allergies
systemic anaphylaxis:
waht can we do to detect HS 1? what are pros and cons
skin tsts

Inject allergen intradermally

good bc its cheap and can test lots of allergens, can be bad bc we just sensitized an individual to new allergens

Also can use:
RIST
RAST
DBPCFC
waht is DBPCFC
double blind placebo controlled food challenge

**present suspected food allergens in a controlled hospital environement to test for HS 1
what is RIST?
radioimmunosorbent test

**radioimmunoassay that can detect super small levels of IgE

**contrast with RAST that can detect small levels of IgE specific for a given allergen
waht is RAST
radioimmunosorbent test

**detect small amts of IgE in serum that is specific to an allergen
how are RIST and RAST different
A stands for allergen

**RIST tests for small amts of allergen in serum. RAST tests for small amts of AG specific IgE in serum

both are radiolabeled immuno assays
what is the best prophylatic tx for HS 1
stay away from the allergen

allergy shots can also be given *hyposensitization, desensitization by injecting allergen you switch from IgE hypersecretion to IgG secretion
what are allergy shots? what type of hypersensitivity to they halp for? do they always work
HS 1, not helpful in all ppl

They give weekkly/monthly injections of allergen adn this desensitizes ppl. they start to make IgG instead of IgE. the IgG then BLOCKS the allergen from activating mast cells by binding to it
what is a way to tx allergic rhinitis, mites, pollen, animal dander allergies (HS 1(
allergy shots, give allergen to desensitize

Make IgG rather than IgE. The IgG then neutralizes the allergen so the allergen cant activate mask cells
1. what cell is initially secreting the mediators that elicit HS 1

2. what activatees the mast cell

3. The first preformed mediator that is released within a few min of activation is

4. what are the effects of histamines interaction with H1 receptors

5. What secondary lipid mediators are most important in HS 1

6. What is the effect of mast cell cytokine secretion
1. mast
2. alleren crosslinking IgE on the mast cell
3. histamine
4. dilation, SM contraction, mucus secertion
5. PGD2, LTC,D,E4
6. bring eisoniophiles/PMN this damages the tissue
tell me abotu HS 2
IgM or IgG hypersecretion

**binds to allergens that are CELL BOUND

**still ab mediated (all are except 4 which is T and macro)
we know in HS 2 its a cell associated allergen that elicits the hypersecretion of IgG or IgM. what kinds are AG are cell bound
1. intrinsic cmpds: blood group
2. drugd that adhere
does HS2 have a sensitization and effector stage
yep!

Sensitization: exposure to allergen creastes IgG/M secretion

Effector: reexposure causes IgG/M to bind cell surface and elicit compliment/ADCC which makes the cell die
what type of HS has the killing of a cell bc it has an allergen attached to ir
HS 2
what type of HS is a blood transfusion rxn
type 2

we respond to a CELL BOUND Allergen adn make IgG/M to activate compliment and ADCC

**massive hemolysis of RBC

**IgM mediated
what mediates a type 2 blood transfusion rxn
IgM

preexisting IgM AB
are delayed hemolytic transfusion rxns IgM mediated
NOPE!

IgG

**not as severe, seen in ppl with repeated transfusions. they have the right ABO type but minor components may not be a perfect match
so massive intravasculat hemolysis that causes fever chills nauesua renal failure is associated with transfustion rxnx (mismatch ABO)

**what does drug induced hemolytic anemia cause
some drugs can complex with RBC (like a hapten thing) and become immunogenic

**IgM/G mediated killing of RBC
**anemia resolves when drug is removed

Type II HS
what is drug induced thrombocytopenia
decreased platelets bc drugs coat platelets adn then IgM/G kill the platelets
what autoimmune disorders are HS II
1. myesthenia gravis: AB binds and blocks Ach from getting to its receptor
2. graves disease: AB acts to stim TSH R on thyroid to make T3/T4
3. hashimotos
4. goodpasture
what again detected HS 1? what detects HS 2
HS1:
skin prick, RIST, RAST, DBPCFC

HS 2:
Coombs test. Detects AB on the surface of pts RBC. hemaagglutination
what type of HS will do hemolytic diesase of newborn
HS 2

**kill the Rh factor.
what does the coombs test look for?
look for IgG bound to RBC (NOT a normal finding!)

we take BRC and give it the coobs reagent which is anti IgG, if we have agglutination we know its a + coombs and there is HS2
what does hte indirect and direct coombs test for which is mroe sensitive
Direct: tests to see if IgG is on pts RBC, hemagglutinatoin is +

Indirect: MORE sensitive, test to see if tehre is IgG in PLASMA
explain whats going on in a HS 3
well we still ahve LOTS of IgG/M secretion (like 2) but this time it makes small immune complexes that cant be cleared by phago as large complexes are. These small complexes are deposited in the joints nad kidneys and activate inflammation and compliment
does HS3 have sensitization and effector phase
BUT sensitization is NOT always necessary for HS3
what is the sensitization phase of HS3
small insoluble immune complexes are deposited into tissues (not always necessary for this)

Effector: immune complex activation and recriutment of inflammatory cells and more immune complexes for deposition
what is the effector phase of HS 3
first we have sensitization where small INSOLUBLE immune complexes are deposited in tissue

EFFECTOR:
immune activation of complimant and recruitment of inflammatory cells and increased vascular permiability to let more immune complexes in
what type of HS ccan cause thrombi, edema, hemmorage and necrossi
HS 3

insoluble immune complexes ppt in joints and things, this causes tissue damage and platelet aggregation
during the effector phase of HS 3 we have lots of things going on, what are they
more complexes accumulate
compliment activates
PMN release ROS
platelet aggregation

Thrombi, hemmorage, edema, necrosis
what is the arthus rxn, what HS?
HS 3

localized tissue necrosis after repeated injection of allergen into the skin

Preformed IgG form immune complexes in BV near injection site
what is it called when you get tissue necrosis due to preformed IgG molevules forming IC in BV near sites of repeated injections
arthus rxn

Type 3
serum sickness is what type of HS? how does it differ than other HS rxns
3, immune complex formation

This is systemic, all others were local

Happens after antitoxin.antivenom is injected or can be drug induced

Sx: rash, fever, arthritus, kidney complications

Immune complexes ppt out
what can cause serum sickness
can happen after antitoxin or antivenom is given. also can be drug induced

sx include: rash, fever, arthritis, glomerulonephtritis
hs3
what autoimmune diseases are hs 3
sle
ra


autoreactive AB are detected in pts serum
SLE and RA are what type of Autoimmune HS diseorrders
HS 3, immune complexes

autoreactive AB in pts serum
what are delayed HS? why do they take longer
type 4

**mediated by Th1 (Th2 was HS1) and macro

**require AG presentatoin
wht do Th1 cells do, waht is another name for them
type 4 delayed.

AKA Tdth (T delayed type HS)
is there a sensitization phase for ALL HS rxns
you bet

Type 3 doesnt always have a sensitization
what goes on in the sensitization phase of HS4
initial contact exposure to AG
(AG complexed with protein in the skin)
procvess/present AG to T cells
Th1 are activated
what is the effector phase of a HS 4
APC activation of Th1 MEMORY when reexposed to AG

release chemokines/cytokiens
recruit/activate macro and PMN

TISSUE DESTRUCTION
is there a specific test to detect HS3
not really, we can run an elisa to see if there are any autoantibodies
Th1 in HS4 does what
IFNg to recruit macrophages
what are the cytokine reelasd adn what do they do when a Th1 memory is activated in a HS 4? why do we get a Th1 response in this HS
IFNg: recruit macro
TNFa: recruit PMN

allergen binds TRL, APC secretes IL12 adn IL12 causes Th1 differentiona (Th1=Tdth)
what is a common type 4 rxn
TB test, this is why we have to wiat, its a T cell response
what kind of HS is TB test
4, t cell response

**the injected bug is a hatpen and will complex with protein in the skin
how can HS 4 track AIDS progress
indicate T cell fx

Tdth declines as AIDS progresses. Use an AG that the individual WILL respond to, if we dont see a rxn the T cell activity has declines
contact dermatitis is what type of HS
4

hapten complexes with protein in the skin and causes blistering

*usually takes 48 hrs. its a delayed type hypersensitivity
why type of sensitivity causes poison ivy
type 4, delayed type

poision oak, ivy, sumac

**complexes with langerhan cells, APC to Th1 and cause IFNg and TNFa to bring macro and PMN
whats the deal with granuloma formation
type 4 HS that cant clear the pathogen

**persistant stimulation of inflammation
how are HS 4 detected
PATCH test

cloth with allergen is put on your back and left for 48 hrs. if there is a response you know your type 4 allergic
what dioes a patch test do
detect HS 4

**put allergen on a patch and then place on the back, your allergic if you react
waht are common manifestations of HS
