HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONSDefinition Hypersensivity reactions are defined as any of the following:
Classification
The Coombs and Gell classification is more popular and is commonly used among these three classifications. TYPE-I HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTION
Type 1 Hypersensitivity reaction and the role of mast cell Mast cell and basophil cell
Types of Antigens
The most common examples of antigens (allergens) are:
Antigens examples:
Type of Antibodies
IgE receptor (IgεR) consists of 2-α (molecular weight of 45,000) and 2-β (molecular weight of 30,000) chains. Fig 88: IgE Receptor structure (Fc receptor) Type 1 Hypersensitivity reaction and Fc receptor for IgE on Mast/Basophils The Fc-receptor are of two types:

Type 1 hypersensitivity reaction and the Role of T-cells Ig E antibody formation and attachment to mast cells or basophils Stages of Type 1 Hypersensitivity Reactions are:This reaction takes place in two stages:
Type 1 reaction has four stages:
Ag and Ab (Ag +IgE) bridging leads to degranulation, where Ag makes bridging between two IgE-Ab molecules present on the mast cell or basophils. Fig 91: Mast cell and Basophil bridging of IgE with antigen Degranulation is an active process where:
Degranulation leads to the release of:
Chemical Mediators of type 1 Hypersensitivity Reaction are:Primary or Preformed Mediators:These are as follows:
Secondary Mediators (Arachidonic Acid Metabolites):These are:
Mast Cell Associated Cytokines:
Type 1 hypersensitivity reaction mechanism in detail HistamineIt is 10% of the weight of cells. It has the highest level in the morning and the lowest level in the late afternoon. Histamine acts through separate receptors, and these are named:- H1 – present in smooth muscles of bronchi, and action stops by the antihistamine. H2 – Present in the stomach, and action stops by cimetidine. H3 – Present in CNS. It is under research. Histamine clinically leads to:-

Atopy may be due to:
Nature Check MechanismNature has a check mechanism; otherwise, a small dose of Ag might have led to death. There is the production of some enzymes that inactivate the type-I reaction mediators. Fig 96: Nature check mechanism of Type 1 Hypersensitivity reaction
Diagnosis Type 1 hypersensitivity reactionThe diagnosis may be made by:
TreatmentType I reactions can be treated at different stages of reaction. The best treatment is the avoidance of the source (Ag). Treatment is shown diagrammatically with the phases of an allergic reaction.

Go Back to Elementary Immunology Go Back to Elementary Immunology CommentsDoes Type 1 hypersensitivity have a delayed onset?Type I hypersensitivity can be further classified into immediate and late-phase reactions. Within minutes of exposure to an antigen, the immediate hypersensitivity occurs, releasing histamines and lipid mediators which are responsible for the initial allergic reaction response.
Which type of hypersensitivity is immediate?Type I, II and III hypersensitivity reactions are known as immediate hypersensitivity reactions because they occur within 24 hours of exposure to the antigen or allergen. Immediate hypersensitivity reactions are predominantly mediated by IgE, IgM, and IgG antibodies.
What is immediate and delayed hypersensitivity?While the immediate hypersensitivity reaction transiently alters vascular permeability as shown by increased movement of macromolecules into the chest, the delayed hypersensitivity reaction is marked by a decreased capacity to resorb macromolecules from the pleural space.
What type of hypersensitivity reaction is delayed?Type IV hypersensitivity, often called delayed-type hypersensitivity, is a type of hypersensitivity reaction that takes several days to develop. Unlike the other types, it is not humoral (not antibody-mediated) but rather is a type of cell-mediated response.
