Describe Type 1 immune response
Allergen activates B-lymphocyte and IgE antibodies produced. IgE degranulate mast cells and release histamine. Happens fast.
Describe Type 2 immune response:
Antibodies (IgM and IgG) bind intrinsic or extrinsic (in or out of cell) antigen and destroy it. Example: Rh disease, Pn allergy

Describe Type 3 immune response:
Ag/Ab complexes and call in complement which starts tearing up surrounding tissue. Ex: Lupus, RA.
