Classification of Hypersensitivity
4
Type I (Immediate) Hypersensitivity
5
Type II (Cytotoxic) Hypersensitivity
Cytotoxic
Type II hypersensitivity involves IgG or IgM antibody-mediated
IgM or IgG immunoglobulin react with cell-surface antigens to
activate the complements system and produce direct damage
of the sell surface.
6
Hypersensitivity
Type III
Type III (ICM) Hypersensitivity
Endogenous
8
Type III (ICM) Hypersensitivity
9
The mechanism of type III (immune-complex mediated) hypersensitivity-overview
Antigens combine with
antibodies to form
antigen-antibody complexes.
Antigen
Antibody (IgG)
Antigen-antibody complex
Inactive complement
Active complement
Antigen-antibody complexes
and activated complement
attract and activate
neutrophils, which release
inflammatory chemicals.
Neutrophil
Inflammatory chemicals
Inflammatory chemicals
damage underlying
blood vessel wall.
