Study Notes
Hypersensitivity Reactions
- Type III hypersensitivity involves immune complex-mediated reaction mainly involving IgG.
Type 4 Hypersensitivity
- Type 4 hypersensitivity is a cell-mediated reaction, also known as delayed-type hypersensitivity.
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
- IgE is the main antibody involved in Type 1 hypersensitivity.
- Type 1 hypersensitivity manifests as an immediate allergic reaction, often within minutes of exposure to an antigen.
- This type of hypersensitivity is also known as anaphylactic hypersensitivity.
