1、Chapter 16: Hypersensitive Reactions,Typically, inflammatory responses rid the body of Ag and resolves the infection within days In some cases, the inflam response can have harmful effects even result in death!-this type of IR is called hypersensitivity or allergy Hypersensitive reactions develop du

2、ring the course of either: Humoral IR response or Cell-mediated IR response Those reactions initiated by Ab or Ab-Ag complexes are called Immediate Hypersensitivities Those initiated by cell-mediated response are called Delayed-type Hypersensitivities,Gell and Coombs Classification,Four categories o

3、f hypersensitivity were proposed by G&C which recog differences in the effector molecules generated. They include: IgE mediated Type I IgG mediated Type II Immune complex mediated Type III Cell mediated (DTH) Type IV,General descriptions of the 4 types of hypersensitivity,Figure 16-1,IgE-Mediated (T

4、ype I) Hypersensitivity,Antibody class produced is different than the normal 1 response IgE is produced vs an “allergen”(not vs parasite) IgE binds to mast cells/basophils sensitized 2nd exposure to allergen cross-links IgEs and triggers degranulation of mast cells/basophils Effects may be systemic

5、or localized depending,Components of Type I Rxns:,Figure 16-2,1.,2.,3.,4.,5.,6.,Type I Rxns: 1. Allergens,IgE produced in response to parasites, typically Atopic individuals produce IgE vs common environmental Ags; genetic predisposition More susceptible to: hay fever, asthma, etc. Most rxns take pl

6、ace on mucus membranes Allergens are multi-antigenic; although only several are allergenic (E and K fractions)* Allergenicity is a function of dose, sensitizing route, possible adjuvant, and genetics*,Type I Rxns: 2. and 3. Reaginic Ab, Mast Cells and Basophils,IgE also called “reagin”, larger than

11、 Leukotrienes and prostaglandins -produced from P-lipid breakdown-longer lasting and more potent than histamineas effector chemicals-promote further contraction of smooth muscles3. Cytokines -various cytokines (IL-4,5,6, TNF-) released from Mast/Baso-attract neuts/eosinosIgE production from B cells-

12、TNF may contribute to systemic anaphylaxis,Type I Responses may be Systemic or Localized,Systemic response (Anaphylaxis): occurs w/i minutes; symptoms include: difficult resp. BP drop, smooth muscle contraction, massive edema Treat with epinephrineLocalized response (Atopy): Inherited; occurs in 20%

13、; rxn limited to target tissue often epithelial surfaces,Type I Rxns: Localized allegic responses,Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) Asthma Early response Late response Food allergy - Atopic dermatitis (eczema) -,Type I Hypersensitivity: Late-Phase Reactions,Caused by pharmacologic/vasoactive mediators -

Neutros release lytic e

15、nzymes, PAF, leukotrienes,Cytokines from Mast cells also contribute!,Type I Hypersensitivity: Regulatory factors,The following factors influence IgE response to allergens: Level of Ag dose Mode of antigen presentation Relative presence of TH1 and TH2 titres TH2s release IL-3,4,5, and 10 TH1s release

16、 IFN- Atopic vs non-atopic individuals express qualitatively different Type I responses to allergens Atopic responses involve TH2 production of IgE from B cells Non-atopic responses involve TH1 production of IgM or IgG,Type I Hypersensitivity: Detecting allergies,Skin tests- injections or scratching
