The first drug available for human immunodeficiency virus
ZDU
Human immunodeficiency virus which cell in the immune system
CD4+ T helper cell
Type 1 hypersensitivity reactions that occur immediately upon re-exposure of a sensitized individual to an antigen
Anaphylactic reactions
referred as a universal recipient
AB
If the blood group of an individual is A then the antibody present is:
Anti B antibodies
This blood type can be transfused to the individual whose type is unknown
O-
Occur from few minutes to 24 hours after contact with a particular antigen
Immediate-type hypersensitivity
usually takes more than 24 hours to manifest itself. It is also known as type IV hypersensitivity reactions or cell-mediated reaction
Delayed-type hypersensitivity
Include fever symptoms, asthma, hive, gastrointestinal symptoms that result from food allergies, allergic reaction to insect sting and drugs
AKA anaphylactic reactions/ allergic reaction
Type l reactions
Occurs 5 to 8 hours, antigen causes formation of IgM and IgG antibodies that bind to target cell; when combined with action of complement, destroys target cell. Also known as Cytotoxic reaction
Type ll reactions
Molecules of a drug such as quinine accumulate on the surface of a platelet and stimulate an immune response that destroys the platelet.
Thrombocytopenic purpura
Blueberry muffin skin mottling
Hemolytic anemia
Destruction of granulocytic white cells which affects the body's phagocytic defense
agranulocytosis
Occurs 3 to 8 hours, Antibodies and antigens form complexes that cause damaging inflammation. Also known as Immune Complex Reactions
Type lll reactions
Occurs 24 to 48 hours, Antigens activate Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes that kills target cell. They occur in tuberculin and fungal skin tests, contact dermatitis, and transplantation rejection. Also known Delayed Cell-Mediated Reaction
Type IV reactions
Results when a person's immune system no longer recognizes certain body tissues as self and attempts to destroy those tissues as if they were non-self or foreign
Autoimmune disease
Involves antibodies that attack self
Type l Autoimmunity
Is mediated by antibodies specific for cell surface components or the extracellular matrix
