4 Allergy Diagnosis Clinical history of reactions Reproducibility, timing Physical examination Tissue specific Allergy testing Skin Prick Test The wheal-and-flare reaction in the skin. A, In response to antigen-stimulated release of mast cell mediators, local blood vessels first dilate and then become leaky to fluid and macromolecules, which produces redness and local swelling (a wheal). Subsequent dilation of vessels on the edge of the swelling produces the appearance of a red rim (the flare).

6 Sequence of events in immediate hypersensitivity reactions. Immediate hypersensitivity diseases are initiated by the introduction of an allergen, which stimulates IL-4 producing helper T cell responses and IgE production. IgE sensitizes mast cells by binding to FcεRI, and subsequent exposure to the allergen activates the mast cells to secrete the mediators that are responsible for the pathologic reactions of immediate hypersensitivity.

Atopic bronchial asthma results from repeated immediate hypersensitivity reactions in the lungs with chronic late-phase reactions. A cross-section of a normal bronchus (A) and a cross-section of a bronchus from a patient with asthma (B) are shown. The diseased bronchus has excessive mucus (M) production, many submucosal inflammatory cells (including eosinophils), and smooth muscle (SM) hypertrophy, and many more goblet cells than in the normal bronchus (black arrows in insets).

15 Binding of IgE to its high affinity receptor 1x10-10 M Kd Polypeptide chain structure of the high-affinity IgE Fc receptor (FcεRI). IgE (not drawn to scale) binds to the Ig-like domains of the α chain. The β chain and the γ chains mediate signal transduction. The ITAMs in the cytoplasmic region of the β and γ chains are similar to those found in the T cell receptor complex (see Fig. 7-5 ). Lyn and Syk are tyrosine kinases that bind to the β and γ chains and participate in signaling events. A model structure of FcεRI is shown in Chapter 12. Allergy Abbas, Abul K., MBBS, Cellular and Molecular Immunology, Chapter 20, Copyright 2015 Copyright 2015, 2012, 2007, 2005, 2003, 2000, 1997, 1994, 1991 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Biochemical events of mast cell activation. Cross-linking of bound IgE by antigen activates protein tyrosine kinases (Syk and Lyn), which in turn cause activation of a MAP kinase cascade and phospholipase Cγ (PLCγ). PLCγ catalyzes the release of IP3 and DAG from membrane PIP2. IP3 causes release of intracellular calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum. Calcium and DAG activate PKC, which phosphorylates substrates such as myosin light chain protein and thereby leads to the degradation and release of preformed mediators. Calcium and MAP kinases combine to activate the enzyme cytosolic phospholipase A2 (PLA2 ), which initiates the synthesis of lipid mediators, including prostaglandin D2 (PGD2 ) and leukotriene C4 (LTC4 ). Allergy Abbas, Abul K., MBBS, Cellular and Molecular Immunology, Chapter 20, Copyright 2015 Copyright 2015, 2012, 2007, 2005, 2003, 2000, 1997, 1994, 1991 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. 15

16 15 min after injection 6 h after injection Biologic effects of mediators of immediate hypersensitivity. Mast cells and basophil mediators include biogenic amines and enzymes stored preformed in granules as well as cytokines and lipid mediators, which are largely newly synthesized on cell activation. The biogenic amines and lipid mediators induce vascular leakage, bronchoconstriction, and intestinal hypermotility, all components of the immediate response. Cytokines and lipid mediators contribute to inflammation, which is part of the late-phase reaction. Enzymes probably contribute to tissue damage. Activated eosinophils release preformed cationic proteins as well as enzymes that are toxic to parasites and host cells. Some eosinophil granule enzymes probably contribute to tissue damage in chronic allergic diseases.
