2 Hypersensitivity Antigen Host Adaptive responses protective to the host harmful to the host The deleterious consequences of the adaptive responses to the host cells

3 Characteristics of hypersensitivity Excessive immune response in a sensitized individual leading to tissue damage. Adaptive immunity is important against microbial infections, but it is also capable of causing tissue injury and disease. (autoimmune diseases)

4 Characteristics of hypersensitivity Occurs when immune responses are directed against self-ag and also from uncontrolled or excessive responses to against foreign Ag, such as microbes and allergens Common cause is failure of self-tolerance, which ensures that individuals do not respond to their own antigens Leads to tissue injury that occurs in autoimmune diseases due to the same effector mechanisms used to protect against microbes

5 Types of hypersensitivity Type I: IgE antibodies bind to Fc receptors on mast cells. IgE induces mast cell degranulation and release inflammatory mediators Type II: Ab (IgG/IgM) mediated immune response against self antigen or foreign antigen (ie Ag on transfused RBC) Type III: Ab(IgG/IgM)+Ag=Immune complexes are deposited in tissue Type IV: T-cell mediated response where Ag sensitized T-cells release lymphokines

6 Types of hypersensitivity

7 Types of hypersensitivity

8 Type I hypersensitivity IgE antibodies bind to Fc receptors on mast cells. IgE induces mast cell degranulation and release inflammatory mediators Occur and resolve quickly Mediated by serum IgE Systemic and regional tissue dysfuntion Genetic predisposition

9 Type I hypersensitivity 1) Priming stage:last more than half a year 2) Activating stage: Crosslinkage Enzyme reaction Degranulation 3) Effect stage: Immediate/early phase response: Mediated by histamine Start within seconds Last several hours Late-phase response : Mediated by new-synthesized lipid mediators Take up 8-12hours to develop Last several days

10 Components and cells in type I hypersensitivity Allergen : pollen dust mite insects etc selectively activate CD4+Th2 cells and B cells Allergin(IgE)and its production IgE: mainly produced by mucosal B cells special affinity to the same cell IL-4 is essential to switch B cells to IgE production High affinity receptor of the IgE on mast cell and basophil Eosinophil

11 IgE-mediated responses Fc R Fc RI (high affinity ) Fc RII (low affinity ) (CD23) Lysis scd23(ige-bf) Fc RIIa Fc RIIb on circulating basophil, connective tissue mast cells on B cell on B, T, Mφ, DC, basophil Switch B cell to IgE production

14 Mast cell activation by IgE crosslinking 14

16 The biological mediators 1. Histamine: Dilate blood vessel Increase vascular permeability 2. Leukotrienes: Bronchial smooth muscles contract Asthma 3. Prostaglandin: High concentration of PGE low concentration of PGE 4. Platelet activating factor (PAF) : Agglutinate and activate platelets to release Inhibit the secretion of histamine promote the release of histamine histamine 5. Eosinophil chemotactic factor(ecf-a): 6. Bradykinin : Vasodilator function

17 Mechanism of type I hypersensitivity Allergen Primary Individual Generation IgE Secondary Adhesion IgE binds to the Fc RI on mast cell and basophil Allergen binds to the IgE on primed target cell Crosslikage of Fc RI Degranulate and release the biological mediators Preformed granule mediators New generated mediators Histamine Bradykinin Leukotrienes PAF Prostaglandin D2 Dilate capillaries,increase permeability, increase mucus secretion, contract smooth muscle Systemic anaphylaxis Skin Respiratory tract Degist tract

18 Common diseases of type I hypersensitivity 1. Systemic anaphylaxis: a very dangerous syndrome 1) Anaphylactic drug allergy (penicillin) 2) Anaphylactic serum allergy 2. Respiratory allergic diseases : 1) Allergic asthma:acute response, chronic response 2) Allergic rhinitis 3. Gastrointestinal allergic diseases : The lack of SIgA protein hydrolase 4. Skin allergy: Undigested protein Allergen

19 Asthma Asthma is a common clinical condition, characterized by variable airflow obstruction, occurring both spontaneously and in response to nonspecific triggers such as exercise, smoke, and fumes. Chronic lung condition Reversible reactive airway obstruction Tightening of the muscles surrounding the bronchial passages in the lungs Can be developed at any age

20

21 Epidemiology of asthma million people worldwide are affected by asthma thousand people die per year from asthma by 2011

22 Asthma symptoms Coughing especially at night, Wheezing Dyspnea (shortness of breath) Chest tightness Chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways Airway obstruction and airway hyperresponsiveness

23 Common asthma triggers Extrinsic Dust mites Mold Pollen Certain foods Animal dander Intrinsic Exercise Infections Cold/humid air Stress/anger Medications Hormones Air pollution Fragrances Chemicals Cannot be cured wikipedia
