Term
What diseases cause Type I hypersensitivity? Is it immediate or delayed?
Definition
immediate, hay fever, anaphylaxis
Term
What diseases cause Type IV hypersensitivity? Is it immediate or delayed?
Definition
Cell-mediated, cytotoxic, delayed
graft rejection, contact dermatitis
Term
Will you get hypersensitivity the first time your exposed to the allergy?
Definition
Why of course not
Term
Hypersensitivity reactions can occur in response to what three types of antigens?
Definition
1. Infectious agents
2. Environmental substances
3. Self-antigens (autoimmune)
Term
What is Type I Hypersensitivity? What is the trigger? What antibody is involved? What are the innate immune effectors?
Definition
Immediate Hypersensitivity
Dust mite, peanuts, etc
IgE
Mast cells, eosinophils
Term
What is Type II Hypersensitivity? What is the trigger? What antibody is involved? What are the innate immune effectors?
Definition
Cell-Bound Antigen
Immune hemolytic anemias (lyses RBC)
IgG
Complement, phagocytes
Term
What is Type III Hypersensitivity? What is the trigger? What antibody is involved? What are the innate immune effectors?
Definition
Immune Complex
Farmer's lung, lupus
IgG
Complement, neutrophils
Term
What is Type IV Hypersensitivity? What is the trigger? What antibody is involved? What are the innate immune effectors?
Definition
Delayed Hypersensitivity
Contact dermatitis, MS, Rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes
T-cells
Macrophages
Term
What is Type I Hypersensitivity mediated through?
Definition
Degranulation of mast cells and eosinophils releasing histamine

Treatment: Oral Antihistamine
Term
What do corticosteroids do? Do they act at beginning or end of pathway?
Definition
Keep plasma cell from synthesizing IgE and inhibit T cells

Beginning
Term
Where does cromolyn act? What is the mechanism of action?
Definition
On surface of mast cells, no degranulation occurs. Blocks Ca influx into mast cells
Term
What do anti-histamines do? Do they act at beginning or end of pathway?
Definition
Counteract the effects of cytokines on targets. Block H1 and H2 recpetors

End
Term
What do monoclonal drugs do?
Definition
Inactivate IgE
Term
What do allergy shots induce?
Definition
IgG formation. IgG binds to allergen so it can't reach IgE on mast cells
Term
What causes symptoms (runny nose, eyes, ect. in Type I hypersensitivity?
Definition
Degranulation of mast cells
Term
In Type I hypersensitivity, the levels of IgE are much higher in allergic individuals. This is due to a higher number of what type of cells? What do these cell produce and what are the effects?
Definition
TH2 (helper cells) which produce IL-4 that increases production of IgE and lowers # TH1
TH1 decreases IgE production

Basicalllly increase TH2 and decrease TH1
Term
What portion of IgE binds to the surface of mast cells and basophils? Allergen crosslinks what portion of the mast-cell bound IgE to trigger histamine release?
Definition
Fc


Fab
Term
In Type I Hypersensitivity, what cell play a major role in late phase allergic reactions?
Definition
Basophils-binds histamine releasing factor causing more release of histamine
Term
In ___________ anaphylaxis the allergen is usually found in mucous membranes

In __________ anaphylaxis the allergen is picked up by the blood and the reactions occur throughout the body
Definition
Localized

Systemic
Term
In Type I, inflammatory mediators bind to receptors on target cells leading to what?
Definition
Dilation of blood vessels, constriction of bronchioles, excessive mucous membrane secretion
Term
Do PAF , luekotrienes, bradykinins, and prostaglandins cause early phase or late phase allergic reactions?
Definition
Early
Term
What type of Hypersensitivity is anaphylaxis?
Definition
Type I
Term
What is the mechanism of epinephrine?
Definition
Stimulates cAMP production by bindign to B-adrenergic receptors on mas t cells. It vasconstricts blood vessels, relax smooth muscle in the lung and speed up heart beat
Term
In Type II Hypersensitivity, what antibodies bind RBC antigens? Is complement activated? Is ADCC activated?
Definition
IgG/IgM
yes
yes macrophages or NK cells bind antibody coated RBC and kill them
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is penicillin-induced immune hemolytic anemia?
Definition
Type II
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is Graves Disease?
Definition
Type II
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis?
Definition
Type III
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is Systemic Lupus Erythematosus?
Definition
Type III
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is chronic viral hepatitis?
Definition
III
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is rheumatic fever?
Definition
II
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is AB and Rh blood group reactions?
Definition
II
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is syphilis and leprosy?
Definition
III
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is Arthus reaction?
Definition
III
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is Farmers lung?
Definition
III
Term
What is the classical example of Type IV reaction? Are Type IV reactions normal or abnormal?
Definition
tuberculin

Not abnormal they defend body against fungi and bacteria
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is urticaria?
Definition
I
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is transplant rejection?
Definition
II
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is myasthenia gravis?
Definition
II
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is TB?
Definition
IV
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is histoplasmosis?
Definition
IV
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is MS?
Definition
IV
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is histoplasmosis?
Definition
IV
Term
What type of hypersensitivity is candidiasis?
Definition
IV
Term
DHT is the same mechanism as __________. What type of cells become sensitized to antigens? _________________ become sensitized to an antigen and produce cytokines
Definition
cell-mediated immunity
CD8+ lymphocytes
Th1 type CD4+ lymphocytes
