QuestionAnswer
hypersensitivity is any immune response against a foreign antigen exaggerated beyond the norm
there are...types of hypersensitivity four (1-4)
type I is immediate
type Ii is cytotoxic
type iii is immune complex - mediated
type iv delayed or cell mediated (Cd8)
type one...hypersensitivity is either a...that results from the... immediate...localized or systemic reaction...release of inflammatory molecules in response to an antigen
the antigen in type one hypersensitivity binds to...which is... ige on mast cell...preformed to the specific antigen
type I develops within... seconds or minutes following exposure to an antigen
type i is commonly called...and the antigens that stimulate it are called... allery...allergen
type i consists of...that are... two phases...sensitization and degranulation
sensitization happens at early exposure to allergen
during sentiziation, the individual is..for... sensitized...subesequent allergic response (IgE)
step one of sensitization: antigen presenting cell phagocytizes and processes antigen in lymph node
step two of ensitization apc presents epitope to th2 cell
step three of sensitization il4 from th2 cell stimulating b cell
step four sensitization b cell becomes plasma cell that secretes ige
step five of sensitization ige stem binds to mast cell, basophil and eosinophil
mast cells have...whose heavy chain is...and that is the... fc epsilon receptors..ige...specific receptor for allerge
degranulation happens when subsequent exposure to allergen causes sensitized effectyor cells to release granules
effector cells are mainly mast cells
degranulation induces inflammatory response
roles of degranulating cells in an allergic reaction: degran occurs...and these cells are after cells are sensitized...mast cells, basophils and eosinophils
degranulation releases histamine, kinins, proteases, leukotrienes, prostaglandins
two types of degran responses are localized or specialized
clinical signs of localized allergic reactions are usually milder and localized
localized alleric reactions type i: site of reaction depends on portal of entry
signs of localized allergic reactions: small inhaled allergens may reach lungs and cause asthma
local reactions: some foods contian allergens that may cause diarrhea and other GI signs and symptoms
local reactions: ...may produce... local dermatitis...hives or urticaria
local reactions:some common allergens are mold spores, pollen and dust mites
clincal signs of systemic allergic reactions are...and many.. more serious...mast cells that may degranulate at once, releasing large amounts of histamine, and inflammatory mediators
clincal signs of systemic allergic reactions: ..can result acute anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock
clinical signs of systemic allergic reactions to type i are those of..and must be treated suffocation...promptly with epi
diagnosis of type i hypersensitivity involves the detection of... high levels of ige against specific allergen
diagnosis of type i can happen with...where... skin tests...specific allergens are administered sub-cutaneously and reaction is monitored
prevention of type one hypersensitivity involves identificationa nd avoidance of allergens
food allergens are identified using an elimination diet
...can help prevent allergic type i reactions immunotherapy (allergy shots)
immunotherapy makes you make...and is a... igg instead of ige to prevent allergy...better, secondary response (more b cells)
immunotherapy involves the administration of a series of injections of dilute allergen
immunotherapy must be repeated every two to three years
treatment for type i includes administering drugs that counteract inflammatory mediators
treatment for localized type i include...and treating.. antihistamines to neutralize histamine...asthma with a corticosteroid and a bronchodilator
treatment for systemic type i include using..that.. epi..neutralizes many mechanisms of anaphylaxis
epi does what two things relaxes smooth muscle and reduces vascular permeability
epi is used in...of... emergency treatment...severe asthma and anaphylactic shock
type ii or..hypersensitivity results when... cytotoxic...cels are destroyed by an immune response
type ii hypersensitivity destroys cells by an immune response such as combined activities of complement and antibodies
type two is a component of many autoimmune diseases
two significant examples of type II are the...following an..and also the... destruction of blood cells...incompatible blood transfusion..destruction of fetal blood cells in hemolytic disease of the new born
the abo blood groupsystem and transfusion reactions: blood group antigens are surface molecules of rbcs
each person's...have... rbcs...a,b,both,none of the antigens
transfusion reaction can result if an invidivudal receives different blood type
donor's blood group antigens may stimulate the production of antibodies in the recipient that destroy the transfused cels
abo antigesn are carbohydrates found on the surface of rbcs
each individual is...to all.. exposed..these carbohydrate antigens (probably through commensals on gut)
antibodies against all antigens not found on RBCs will be made
if recip has...then... preexisting antibodies to foreign blood group antigens...there will be immediate destruction of donated blood cells
if recip has no...then... preexisting antibodies to foregin blood group antigens...transfused cells initially circulate and function normally or the eventually the recips immune system mounts a primary response against the foreign antigens and destroys them
rh antigen is also the d antigen
rh antigen is common to rbcs of humans and rhesus monkeys
about...of humans are... 85%...rh +
if rh- woman is carrying rh+ baby, the baby may be at risk for hemolytic disease
mother and baby's blood can be tested for the presence of anti-RH antibodies by coomb's test
to prevent hemolytic diesease of the newborn, you... administer anti-RH immunoglobulin, called rhogam
during 1st delivery...through..and after this the mother.. rh antigens enter mother's circulation..breaks in the placenta...makes anti-rh antibodies
during 2nd delivery , the mother has..and the... anti-rh antibodies...anti0rh antibodies cross the placenta and destroy the fetal blood cells
direct coomb's test tests for..and can be used to determine.... maternal rh antigen...erythroblastosis fetalis in fetal blood samples
indirect coombs test is testing the mother's serum for antibodies
indirect coombs test is commonly used to determine if a mother has mounted a response to rh antigen
direct coombs test starts with taking a....and the antibodies are... blood sample from patient with immune mediated hemolytic aneamia...shown attached to antigens on the rbc surface
direct: the patient's...are... washed rbcs...incubated with antihuman antibodies
the coombs reagent is the antihuman antibodies
direct: a positive result is when rbcs agglutinate, antihuman antibodies form links between rbcs by binding to the human antibodies on the rbcs
indirect: a mother's...is obtained, containing... serum...antibodies
indirect:..are added to the test tube rh+ blood cells
indirect: mothers...form... ig that targets rbcs...antibody0antigen complexes
indirect: ...which is the..is added to the tes tube antihuman ig's...coombs reagent...
indirect: a pos result is when agglutination occurs w/ rbcs bec human igs are attached
type ii or..hypersensitivity is caused by.. immune-complex-mediated...formation of immune xomplexes in blood stream
localized type III reactions include...which is the... glomerulonephritis...precipitation of immune complexes in/of the kidney glomerula
systemic type III reactions include systemic lupus erythematosus or rheumatoid arthritis
type III hypersensitivity: step 1, antigens combine with..to form... antibodies..antigen-antibody complexes
type III hypersensitivity: step 2, ...remove most of the...but some... phagocytes...complexes...lodge in the walls of blood vessels
type III hypersensitivity: step 3, there the... complexes activate complement
type III hypersensitivity: step 4, ...attractand activate... antigen0antibody complexes and activated complement ...neutrophils which release inflammatory chemicals
type III hypersensitivity: step 5, ..damage... inflammatory chemicals...underlying blood vessel wall
type III causes glomerulonephritis is when...are... immune complexes circulating in the bloodstream...deposited on the walls of glomeruli
glomerulonephritis causes damage to the glomuerular cells which impedes blood filtration
glomerulonephritis leads to kidney failure and ultimately death
type III also leads to...which is a...mainly characterized by.. rheumatoid arthritis...chronic disease...inflammation of the lining, or synovium, of the joints
rheumatoid arthritis can lead to...resulting in... long-term joint damate...chronic pain, loss of function and disability
rheumatoid arthritis involves...which results in.. immune complexes depositing in the joints...release of inflammatory chemicals
iin rheumatoid arthritis, the joints begin to break down and become distorted
the trigger for rheumatoid arthritis is not well known
rheumatoid arhtirisi is treated with..like anti-inflammatory drugs...cortical steroids and nsaids
type III can also cause...which is a... systemic lupus erythematosus..humoral response against autoantigens
autoantibodies against dna result in immune complex formation
in systemic lupus erythematosus can also involve many other...that are against... autoantibodies...rbcs, platelets, lymphocytes, mmuscle cells
trigger for lupus is unknown
treatment for lupus happens with...and that reduces.... immunosuppressive drugs (targeting b cells)...autoantibody formation
treatment for lupus via corticosteroids that reduce inflammation
type iv or..hypersensitivity involves delayed or cell mediated...inflammation starting 12-24 hours after contact with certain antigens
type iv is t cell mediated
type iv results from the actions of antigen, antigen presenting cells and t cells
type iv's delay reflects the time it takes for macrophages and t cells to migrate to and proliferate at the site of the antigen
type iv does not involve...but it does involve... ige or antibodies...cytotoxic t cells
type iv involves the...which tests for.. tuberculin response ..tb on the skin
in the tb skin test, skin exposed to...reacts to an... to tb or tb vaccine..injection of tuberculin beneath the skin
tb skin test uses memory t cell response
tb skin test is used to diagnose contact with antigens of m tuberculosis
there is no response to tb skin test when individual has not been infected or vaccinated
what develops in individuals previously infected or immunized to tb red hard swelling
type iv can lead to...which is a... allergic contact dermatitis...cell-mediated immune response resulting in an intensely irritating skin rash
allergic contact dermatitis is triggered by..which are.. haptens..chemicals that can cross the skin and react with skin proteins which the body then regard as foreign
the skin proteins that react with haptens get...so they are... a change in conformation...detected as foreign
once the proteins are detected as foreign the body will mount inflammatory and ctl responses
in severe cases of allergic contact dermatitis, ... developes acellular, fluid-filled blisters
haptnes include the oild of poison ivy, formaldehyde and some consmetics and chemicals used to produce latex
the inflammation assocated with allergic contact dermatitiscan be reduced with corticosteroids
the best measure for avoiding allergic contact derma is identifying and avoiding haptens
type iv encompasses...which is the... graft rejections...rejection of tissue or organs that have be transplanted
grafts can be perceived as...and will undergo foreign by a recipient...rejection
normal immune response against...present on... foreign mhc proteins...graft cells
likelihood of rejection depends on the degree to which the graft is foreign to the recip
likeness of donor and recip is based on...and one reason for rejection is... the type of graft...miss-matching tissue antigens
four types of tissue grafts autograft, isograft, allograft, xenograft
autograft is from yourself to yourself
isograft is between genetically idential individuals
allografti s between genetically diff member of same specie
xenograft is to an entirely diff specie
graft vs host disease happens with bone marrow transplant patients
in graft vs host disesae the donated bone marrow cells regard...as... patients cells as foreign
in graft vs host disease, if the donor and recip...then the ...and results in.. mhc class 1 molecules...t cells derived from grafted bone marrow attack the recips tissues...rejection
if the donor and recip differ in...then it is...and the... mhc class II molecules...less severe...grafted t cells attack the hosts antigen presenting cells
how do you prevent graft vs host disease immunosupressive drugs
type iv can also involve donor recip matching and tissie typing which involves the...and is.. mhc compatibility between the donor and recip ...difficult due to a high degree of variability
the more closely the donor and recip are related the smaller the diff in their mhc
is it preferable that grafts are donated by a parent or sibling
what is used to match donor and recip tissue typing
immunosuppressive drugsare important to success of modern transplantation
important calsses of immunosuppressive drugs include glucocorticoids, cytotoxic drugs, cyclosporine, lymphocyte-depleting therapies
