  • 3rd side (hint)
What substance(s) are responsible for the immediate hypersensitivity rxn in Type 1 hypersensitivity?
vasoactive amines and lipid mediators
What substance(s) are responsible for the late phase rxn in Type 1 hypersensitivity?
cytokines
individuals who have a higher level of IgE and eosinophils (10-40% of pop)
atopic
antigens of Type 1, Immediate Hypersensitivity reactions activate what?
B cell class switching to IgE
&Th2 cells (IL-4)
Mast cell mediators
-SRS-A (slow releasing substance of anaprophylaxis) = leukotrines
-serotonin
-TNF
-ECF-A (eosinophil chemotactic factor of anaphylaxis)
which of the four hypersensitivity reactions does NOT involve autoimmunity?
Type 1: immediate anaphylactic hypersensitivity
Basophil influx is stimulated by:
TGFϸ & IL-3
Eosinophil influx stimulated by:
IL-5 & GM-CSF
what cytokine is involved in chronic asthma hypersensitivity?
IL-13 (produced by Th2)
most severe type of Type 1 Hypersensitivity?
what type of tissue exposure?
systematic anaphylaxis
intravenous (peanuts count)
effects of epi given to treat type 1 hypersensitivity
-forms tight junctions
-relaxes bronchial smooth muscles
-stimulates heart
which cytokine is critical for producing IgE?
IL-4 (induces the B cell class switching)
Cells that constitutively express IgE?
Mast cells
(NOT basophils!)
mediators of increased vascular permeability and smooth muscle contraction in type 1 hypersensitivity rxns
histamine and leukotrines
what is the name of type II reactions?

what is the major mediator of Type II Hypersensitivity reactions?
antibody-mediated (cytotoxic) hypersensitivity
Ig-G
Mechanism of action of Type II Hypersensitivity reactions
-IgG binds to cell-associated Ag -->compliment activation --> MAC attack & lysis or --> phagocytosis (C3b)
examples of Type II hypersensitivity
-ABO transfusion reaction
-penicillin induced RBC/platelet Ag changes
-autoimmune diseases (myasthenia gravis, hypo/erthyroidism, insulin-resistant diabetes
Mediators of Type III Hypersensitivity?
IgG/Ag Immune Complex deposition, activation of compliment (C5a), which activates Mast cells
example of Type III hypersensitivity
serum sickness
which hypersensitivity rxn is NOT Ig mediated?
Type IV

how much allergen do these reactions need comparatively?
Type IV requires a much greater amount of allergen
Type IV Hypersensitivity reactions are mediated by what?
Ag-specific effector T cells
Delayed-type hypersensitivity
type IV

Ag = proteins (insect venom, TB)
Contact Hypersensitivity

activates what type of effectes?
Type IV

Ag = Haptens (poison ivy) & metal ions (nickle)
CD4+ T cells (activate immune cells)

CD8+ T cells (kill chemical reacted cells w/foreign Ag)
Gluten-sensitive enteropathy
Type IV

Ag = Gliadin
serum sickness
Type III

fever, vasculitis, arthritis, nephritis
ABO transfusion hypersensitivity reaction
type II
penicillin induced hypersensitivity reaction
type II
autoimmune dieases such as hyper/othyroidism and insulin-resistant diabetes
type II
allergies
type I
what is important to type IV reactions?
TH1 cytokines, chemokines, & cytotoxins
