Learn about hypersensitivity reactions, including Type I to Type IV, antibody mediated and T cell mediated diseases, effector mechanisms, and therapies. Explore conditions like Graves' disease, Myasthenia gravis, immune complex diseases, and clinical manifestations of contact dermatitis.
E N D
Injurious, patologic immune reactions causing tissue injury and disease Excessive or aberrant immune response to: Foreign antigens (non-self) - non-infectious (environmental) - infectious Self (autologous) antigens failure of self-tolerance (autoimmunity, autoimmune diseases)
Types of Hypersensitivity Reactions Type I Type II Antibody mediated Type III T cell mediated Type IV
Type II (Antibody-mediated diseases) (Cytotoxic type) Type II hypersensitivity animation
Type III (immune complex-mediated diseases) Type III hypersensitivity animation
Therapy • Reduction fo inflammation (corticosteroids) • Plasmapheresis (reduction of circulating antibodies and immune comoplexes) • Anti-CD20-antibodies(reduction of B cell number) • Inhibition of auto-antibody production (CD40L antagonists)
Type IV (Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity - DTH) Type IV hypersensitivity animation
Therapy • Reduction of inlammtaion (corticosteroids and TNF antagonists) • T cell response inhibition (cyclosporin) • Antagonists of costimulation
