Hypersensitivity Hypersensitivity – Exaggerated immune response that have deleterious effects and causes damage to the individual. Anaphylaxis – an immediate hypersensitivity reaction triggered by mast cell degranulation. Can be local or systemic. Prophylaxis - measures designed to preserve health and prevent the spread of disease; protective or preventive treatment. Can be: immediateor delayed(DTH)
Hypersensitivity Classification based on immune response: Type I – IgE-Mediated Type II – Antibody-Mediated Cytotoxic Type III – Immune Complex-Mediated Type IV – Delayed-Type (DTH)
Hypersensitivity Type I – IgE-Mediated Hypersensitivity cross-linking of IgE to mast cells and basophils results in systemic and local anaphylaxis
Type I – IgE-mediated Hypersensitivity Allergens – antigens that induce type I hypersensitivity
Type I – IgE-mediated Hypersensitivity IgE cross-linkage initiates degranulation
Type I – IgE-mediated Hypersensitivity Mediators of Type I Reactions: Primary Histamine Serotonin Chemotactic factors Proteases Secondary Platelet-activating factor Leukotrienes Prostaglandins Bradykinin Cytokines
Type I – IgE-mediated Hypersensitivity systemic anaphylaxis local anaphylaxis Allergic rhinitis Asthma Food allergies Atopic dermatitis Treatment of Type I hypersensitivity Antihistamines Cromolyn sodium Theophylline Epinephrine Cortisone
Hypersensitivity Type II – Antibody-Mediated Cytotoxic Hypersensitivity Antibodies mediate destruction via complement or ADCC
Type II Hypersensitivity Type II – Antibody-Mediated Cytotoxic Hypersensitivity
Hypersensitivity Type III – Immune Complex-Mediated Hypersensitivity Antibody-antigen complexes activate complement
Type III Hypersensitivity Immune Complex-Mediated Hypersensitivity
Hypersensitivity Type IV – Cell-Mediated Hypersensitivity Cytokine release activate macrophages and TC cells
Type IV Hypersensitivity
