10 Questions
What is the consequence of immunological reactions to deal with non-self antigens?
The consequence can be occasionally harmful to host tissues/organs.
How are hypersensitivity reactions defined?
Hypersensitivity reactions are defined as hypersensitivity responses.
When do hypersensitivity reactions occur?
Hypersensitivity reactions occur when memory immunological reactions secondarily exposed onwards to formerly exposed antigens.
What are the characteristics of memory immune reactions in relation to hypersensitivity?
Memory immune reactions can respond faster, stronger, and more potent.
What can cause immunopathology?
Immunological reactions out of balance between effector mechanisms and regulator mechanisms can cause immunopathology.
Which stage is known as the sensitization stage in hypersensitivity reactions?
Primary exposure between immune system and nonself antigens
What can cause immunopathology?
Immunological reactions out of balance between effector mechanisms and regulator mechanisms
When do hypersensitivity reactions occur?
Secondarily exposed memory immunological reactions
What is the consequence of immunological reactions to deal with non-self antigens?

What defines hypersensitivity reactions?
Out of balance between effector mechanisms and regulator mechanisms
