Hypersensitivity reactions are the immunological response to both exogenous and endogenous antigens, and forms the basis for many diseases.
Pathology
Classification
There are four types of hypersensitivity reactions, each mediated by a different mechanism 1-4:
-
type 1 hypersensitivity: immediate reaction
- IgE mediated.
-
Bindsbinds to Fc membrane receptor on mast cells and interacts with corresponding antigen. -
Mastmast cell degranulation occurs on following exposure(8)8- urticaria
- asthma
- allergy/anaphylaxis
-
type 2 hypersensitivity: antibody mediated reaction
- IgG/ IgM mediated
-
Causescauses cell destruction and disrupts cell function5.(5)
-
type 3 hypersensitivity: immune-complex mediated reaction
- IgG/IgM mediated
-
Antibodyantibody-antigen Immunocomplex deposition -
Thesethese can activate complement, cause release of chemotactic and clotting factor and trigger phagocytosis.- vasculitis
(6)6 - systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
- hypersensitivity pneumonitis
- vasculitis
-
type 4 hypersensitivity: cell mediated reaction
- 'delayed' hypersensitivity
- T-helper cells secrete various different cytokines resulting in different immune reactions.
- interferon y secreted by T-helper type 1
- these cytokines activate macrophages.
- this leads to production of complement-fixing antibody isotypes stimulating inflammatory responses.
- CD8+ T-cell mediated killing of cells expressing reactive antigen in association with MHC-1.
- IL-4, IL-5,IL13 secreted by T-helper type 2
- stimulate B cell activation and production of immunoglobulins (IgE), mast cell and eosinophil reactions and macrophage deactivation.
- other T-cells contain granules performing cytoxic functions by the release of peforin/granzymes directly killing the infected cells7.
(7)- contact dermatitis
- coeliac disease
- transplant rejection
- type 1 diabetes
- multiple sclerosis
- interferon y secreted by T-helper type 1
