Type I hypersensitivity rxns mediated by
IgE
Type 2 mediated by
IgG
Type 3 mediated by
Type 4 mediated by
IgG
Th1, Th2, CTLs
Type 1 characteristics
antigens are soluble leading to mast cell activation and leads to asthma, anaphalaxis and allergies
Type 2 characteristics
Tyoe 2 mediated by igG and cellular or matrix associated antigen leads to complement Fcr activation (phagocytes, NK cells an) this is the case of some drug allergies. IgG also responds to cell surface receptors in which it changes the cell surface signaling and leads to chronic urticaria .
Type 3 mediated by igG target is soluble and activates
activates complement and phagocytes leading to serum sickness and arthus reaction where the complement is accumulating and causes constriction
Type 4 leads to
Classic disease is dermititis as well as tuberculin reaction
Graft rejection, hypersensitivity type 4 is mediated by
CTL
Systemic anaphylaxis allergens
Drugs, Venoms, Food. they enter via IV or orally before getting blood stream
Systemic anaphylaxis results in
Laryngeal Edema, circulatory collapse, death
Acute Uticaria allergens
Animal hair, insect bites. They enter through skin.
Acute Uticaria leads to
Edema, local increase in blood flow
Seasonal rhinoconjunctivitis allergen
Pollen, trees, grasses, dust mites. They enter through contact with the eye and nasal mucosa
Seasonal rhinoconjunctivitis results in
Edema of conjuctiva and nasal mucosa. Sneezing
Astha allergens and results
Danders (cats), Pollen, dust mites lead to bronchial constriction increase mucous production and airway inflammation
Food allergies cause
vomiting, diarreha, pruritis (itching) urticaria (hives) rarely anaphylaxis
Food allergies, Astha, Seasonal rhinoconjunctivitis Acute Uticaria allergens mediated by
IgE so they're type 1 hypersensitivity rxns
DERP 1 the most common allergen in the US acts by
1)cleaving occluding in tight junctions and enters mucosa
2)Derp 1 is taken up by dendritic cells for antigen presentation and Th2 priming
3)Th2 cell induces Bcell switch to IgE production
4)IgE binds to Fc receptor on mast cells
5)Mast cell granule contents causing allergic run
Once you’ve been sensitized to a particular antigen you make Ig antibodies and remain bound to the FceRI on mast cells but the signalling is not enough to cause mast cell unloading, so once we are exposed to the allergen again, they
cross react with the antibodies on the recerptors and leads to IL 4 to produce more Ige.
feats associated with the priming of th2
they are proteins with carbohydrate chains which only induce Tcell responses via MHC class 2. So low dose of proteins it favors activation of Il4 leading to CD4 T Cells (TH2 t cells) These protein allergens can diffuse out of particles into the mucosa. These proteins are also very stable and can survive in dessicated particles
: some people have predisposition to allergies mostly due to
the inability to maintaina balance between th1 and th2. TH1 high levels suprres tH2 and viceveersa.
What type of genes involved in asthma genetic susceptibility?
Gene triggering the immune response or directing cd4
Genes regulating TH2 cell differentiation and effector afunction
Genes expressed in epithelial cells
Genes identified by positional cloning
if individual has early exposure to organisms like Helminth infection, Hepatitis A or gut microbiota and lives in high hygienic environment
The individual will develop allergies
Eosinophils are very important in aggravating the allergic reactions and are promoted by
mast cell release of IL3, IL5, GM-CSF
what do eosinophils do?
potentiate the rxns being carried by mast cells
Mast cells granule release effect on GI
Diarrhea, vomiting (increased peristalsis and fluid secretion)
Mast cells granule release effect on eyes nasal passages and airways
Wheezing, coughing phlegm, swelling in nasal passages
Mast cells granule release blood vessels
Increased blood flow and increased permeability (more effector cells in tissues)
Hypotension potentially leading to anaphylactic shock
When injected with an allergent, the immediate response is
collapse of respiratory injection fraction response, but during the late phase it recovers
If allergen enter via IV,
gentle release of histamine to increase permeablitity leading to anaphalatyc shock
. If route of entry is subcutaneous and host responds by
releasing histamine locally and inflammatory response.
Inhalation of allergen increases
mucous production.
Ingestion of allergen results in
contraction of smooth muscles and diarrhea in some cases.
The acute response in allergic asthma leads to
Th2-mediated chronic inflammation of the airways
Acute response in asthama
Mediators cause mucus secretion and smooth muscle contraction leading to airway obstruction
Recruitment of cells from circulation takes place
Chronic response to asthma
Casued by Th2 releaing cytokines and eosinophil products
Tbet is a transcription factor only in
in tH1 and faciliates Il2 production and amplificatio of th1 response. Tbet in animal was knock out, so th2 took over leading to chronic hypersensitivity
Risk factors for the development of food allergy
are immature mucosal immune system. Early introduction of solild fuctor, hereditary increase in mucosal permeability. IgA defficiency
Allergies can be treated by targeting
mediator action
chronic inflammatory rxns
Th2 response
IgE binding to mast cells
Anti-histamines and B-blockers
Inhibit effects of mediators and synthesis
Corticosteroids
antiinflammatory effects
Desensitazion therapy by injection of specific antigens
Induction of regulatory T cells to inhibit tH2 response
Anti IgE antibodies
so IgE doesnt bind to mast cells
INF Gamma administration of cytokines is for
Th1 to lower th2.
Inhibtion of IL3 and CCR3
block cytokine and chemokine receptors that mediate eosinophil recuitment and activation
Serum sickness is a classic example of
a transient immune complex mediated syndrome
Inject with serum and plasma concentration increases and eventually gets cleared as the antigen complexes are formed. During this time fever, vasculitis, arhtithis, and nephritis take place when they accumulate and the antibody against foreing proteins increase and all the symptoms of complex go away. However if antibodies don’t increase
then it leads to problems Know serum sickness (acute) and arhtors disease (chronic).
Type 4 hypersensitivity rxns
Delayed type
Contact
Gluten sensitive enteropathy (celiac disease)
Delayed hypersensitivity antigen
insect venom
mycobacterial proteins (tuberculin, lepromin)
Delayed hypersensitivity results in
Local skin swelling
Contact hypersensitivity antigen
Haptens (posion Ivy)
Nickel, chromate
Contact hypersensitivity response
Local epidermal rxn: Erythema, cellular infiltrate, vesicles, intraepidermal abscess
Celiac disease antigen and response
Gliadin. Villious atrophy leadig to malabsorption
The stages of delayed type hypersensitivity
1)antigen is injected into subcutanenous tissue and processed by local antigen presenting cells
2) A Th1 effector cell recognizes antigen and releases cytokines, which act on vascular endothelium
3) recruiment of phagocytes and plasma to site of antigen injection causes visible lesion
elicitation of a DTH response to a contact sensitizing agent
1)contact sensitizing agent enters the skin and binds self proteins which are taken up by Langerhans cells
2)Langerhan cells present the self peptide haptenated with the contact sensitizing agent to th1 cells, whic secrete IFN g
3) activated keratinocytes secrete cytokines such as IL1 and TNF a and chemokines such as CXCL8, CXCL11 and CXCL9
4) the products of keratinocytes and Th1 cells activate macrophages to secrete mediators of inflammation
Recognition of gluten in celiac disease
1) peptides naturally produced from gluten do not bind mhc class 2
2)An enzyme, tissue transglutaminase modifies the peptides so they now can bind to the MCH 2
3)the bound peptide activates gluten specific cd4 T cells
4) Activated T cells can kill mucosal epithlial cells by binding Fas. They also secrete IFN g which activates the epithelial cell.
