Type 1 Hypersensitivity
Type 2 Hypersensitivity
Disease examples
Fun facts
100

This antigen type is responsible for type I hypersensitivity.

Soluble antigens

100

This antigen type is responsible for type II hypersensitivity.

Cell-surface antigen

100

Cause of allergic rhinitis and asthma

Type I

100

Immediate phase of type I is caused by degranulation, the late phase is caused by this.

chemokines from mast cells slowly recruit other inflammatory cells (ie. eosinophils) which cause inflammation

200

This reactant binds to the insulting antigen.

IgE

200

This reactant binds to the insulting antigen.

IgG

200

Transfusion reactions and hyperacute allograft rejection

Type II

200

A hypothesis that states our reduced exposure to pathogens due to good sanitation, antibiotic use, and low helminth burden has increased sensitization to benign antigens and thus led to allergies

Hygiene Hypothesis

300

The cell activated by IgE-antigen complex

Mast cell

300

Effector mechanisms (name 1 of the possible mechanisms)

Opsonization leads to phagocytosis (macrophage and neutrophil) and/or complement activation. 

NK cell killing by ADCC

300

Rheumatic fever and Goodpasture syndrome

Type II

300

The symptoms related to a type I hypersensitivity allergen depend on this

route of entry

400

Find the mistake: Allergen engulfed by DC --> DC presents allergen on MHC II to Th cell --> Th2 cell activates allergen-specific B cell which releases IgE --> IgE binds MHC II on Mast cell --> antigen binding ab on mast cell causes degranulation of histamine, leukotriene, prostaglandin, etc.

IgE binds FCeR on mast cell

400

An example given in class of cellular dysfunction resulting from a Type II hypersensitivity on a surface receptor.

IgG against FCeR on Mast cells (autoimmune) causes allergic phenotype

400

This hyperthyroid disease is the result of Type II hypersensitivity

Grave's disease

400

Type I hypersensitivity role players such as mast cells seem to be mediators of what type of infection

extracellular parasites

500

Symptoms of mast cell activation

fluid secretion and hypermotility of GI (diarrhea), decreased diameter and increas mucus secretion in airway (wheezing, coughing), increased vascular flow and permeability (edema, erythema, pruritis)

500

This can bind to cell surface and act as antigen complex for Type II hypersensitivity

Drug induced reaction (ie. penicillin)

500

This reaction occurs d/t rapid mast cell degranulation in the presence of a sensitized allergen

Anaphylaxis

Daily double!!!!!!! OMG!!!! WOW

Approximately this many genes are related to asthma
