• Over-react
or
• Under-react

Introduction – Hay Fever
• Hay fever – not dangerous, but causes great discomfort and
inconvenience• 1870’s – British scientist Charles Blackley
found that pollen grains could:– When placed in the eyes of some people, cause
swelling– When rubbed into a skin scratch produce a
local reaction
![Page 5: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Introduction Hay Fever• Now a known disorder of the immune
system• About 35 million Americans suffer from
hay fever• Thousands more are allergic to foods,
cosmetics, leather or metals, and pets• Approximately 40-50 million people in the
U.S. have some type of allergy
![Page 6: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Introduction – Hay Fever• The common denominator among allergies is hypersensitivity• Hypersensitivity stems from the activity of
the immune system and involves both– Antibody mediated immunity– Cellular aspects of immunity
• Currently intense research is going on to find ways to alleviate allergy symptoms
![Page 7: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
![Page 8: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Hypersensitivity
• Multi-step phenomenon requiring:– Initial exposure to an antigen– Dormant stage when person is sensitized– Reaction to a second exposure to antigen
• Reaction can be:– Immediate – response by antibodies within
minutes– Delayed - cell mediated response over 2-3 days
![Page 9: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Hypersensitivity• Early 1970’s Gell and Coombs further
classified Hypersensitivities• Immediate Hypersensitivity
– 1. Type I Anaphylactic Hypersensitivity– 2. Type II Cytotoxic Hypersensitivity– 3. Type III Immune Complex Hypersensitivity
• Delayed Hypersensitivity– 4. Type IV Cellular Hypersensitivity
![Page 10: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
![Page 11: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
TYPE 1 ANAPHYLACTIC HYPERSENSITIVITY
• Begins with entry of antigenic substance (allergens – bee venom, serum proteins, drugs, etc)
• Sensitizing Dose – smallest dose of an allergen that sensitizes a person to cause a reaction (can be as low
as 0.001 mg)• Immune system responds and B-lymphocytes produce IgE
![Page 12: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
TYPE 1 ANAPHYLACTIC HYPERSENSITIVITY
• IgE enters circulation and attaches to thousands of:– Mast cells (connective tissue cells with
granules)– Basophils (white blood cells with granules)
• Granules are released, flow into extracellular fluids and emit mediators:– Histamine– Serotonin
![Page 13: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
TYPE 1 ANAPHYLACTIC HYPERSENSITIVITY
• Mediators – principal activity is to contract smooth muscles in the body - Anaphylaxis– This constricts veins and capillaries and forces
fluid out into the tissues– The skin becomes swollen around the eyes,
wrists and ankles – called edema– This is accompanied by a hive-like rash and
burning and itching of the skin as nerves are excited
![Page 15: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
TYPE 1 ANAPHYLACTIC HYPERSENSITIVITY
• Contractions also occur in the gastrointestinal tract (causes sharp cramps) and bronchial muscles (causes shortness of breath)
• Person inhales rapidly, but can’t exhale to get rid of CO2
• Death can occur within 10-15 minutes due to asphyxiation
![Page 17: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
![Page 18: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Medical Help
• Adrenalin – stabilizes basophils and mast cells, opens air passages
and constricts capillaries• Muscle relaxer – opens air passages, stops
cramping• Antihistamine – competes with histamine
for active sites on smooth muscle cells and inhibits histamine’s actions
• If all else fails - tracheostomy
![Page 20: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
TYPE 1 ANAPHYLACTIC HYPERSENSITIVITY
• Desensitization – therapy used to reduce the possibility of anaphylaxis– Short-term - can inject tiny but increasing
amounts of allergen over a period of hours to induce a gradual reduction of granules rather than a later massive degranulation
– Long-term - can give a series of injections of allergen over a few weeks and the exposure causes immune system to produce IgG which can neutralize sensitized cells.
![Page 22: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
![Page 23: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Atopic Disease/Allergy• Also Type I Hypersensitivity, but in localized areas• Hay Fever:
– immune stimulation by pollen antigens leads to IgE production
– sensitization of mast cells in the eyes, nose and upper respiratory tract
– Subsequent exposure causes the all too familiar sneezing, tearing and swollen mucous membranes
![Page 24: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Asthma
• Asthma attacks are triggered by allergic reactions• Characterized by wheezing and stressed
breathing• 15 million Americans suffer from asthma• Doctors usually prescribe bronchodilators
and/or anti-inflammatory agents (steroids)
![Page 26: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Food Allergies• Characterized by symptoms in the gastrointestinal tract
– Swollen lips– Abdominal cramps– Nausea and diarrhea
• May develop urticaria – rash containing hives
• Allergenic foods – chocolate, strawberries, oranges, cow’s milk and fish
![Page 27: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Why Me????• Almost 20 % of Americans have some sort of
allergy• Allergic individuals have 100 times the IgE level
of normal individuals• Hypotheses:
– IgA levels are greatly reduced in people with allergies. In normal people IgA may shield IgE lymphocytes from antigenic stimulation
– Immune system feedback mechanisms are defective in allergic individuals (suppressor T-lymphocytes)
![Page 28: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Type II Cytotoxic Hypersensitivity
• Cell-destroying reaction that occurs when IgG reacts with antigens on the surface of target cells
• Transfusion reaction – mixing incompatible blood types– Human Blood Types: A, B, AB and O– Each type has antigens on the surface of RBC’s– If given the wrong blood type, a person’s
antibodies will react with the antigens and agglutination (clumping) occurs
![Page 29: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
![Page 30: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
![Page 31: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Hemolytic or Rh Disease• 85-90% of Americans’ RBC’s have a
surface antigen (Rh) and are Rh+– If an Rh- woman marries an Rh+ man, there is
a 75% chance the baby will be Rh+– A first pregnancy will stimulate the production
of Rh+ antibodies in the woman– In any subsequent pregnancies, the woman’s
body will see the baby’s blood as foreign and destroy its blood cells
– Treatment – injection of Rh antibodies within 72 hours of birth will remove Rh antigens from blood
![Page 32: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Autoimmune Diseases – Fighting Yourself
• Thrombocytopenia – antibodies produced against thrombocytes
• Leads to impaired blood clotting and hemorrhages on skin and mouth
![Page 34: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Goodpasture’s Syndrome
• Antibodies combine with antigens in the kidneys and lungs
• Can cause kidney and lung failure
![Page 35: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Myasthenia Gravis• Antibodies generated against muscle fiber
membranes• Reduces nerve impulse transfer and results
in loss of muscle activity, weakness, fatigue
![Page 36: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Graves’ Disease• Antibodies unite with receptors on the
surface of thyroid gland cells causing increased secretion of thyroxine
• This results in goiter and rise in metabolic rate
![Page 37: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
TYPE III Immune Complex Hypersensitivity
• When antibodies combine with antigens and form aggregates that accumulate in blood vessels or on tissue surfaces– Phagocytes are attracted to site and enzymes
are released that cause tissue damage– Gradual development – usually not life
threatening• Serum sickness – IgG produced against
serum proteins – can cause kidney damage
![Page 38: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
TYPE III Immune Complex Hypersensitivity
• Systemic lupus erythematosus: – as old white blood cells are – disintegrating, B-lymphocytes produce IgG– Immune complexes accumulate in the skin and body organs– Causes butterfly rash and lesions in the heart, kidney and blood vessels
![Page 39: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Immune complexes form in the joints causing inflammation - debilitating
• Chronic disease – may have periods with no pain, but then it returns
![Page 40: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

TYPE IV Cellular Hypersensitivity• T-cells involved• Delayed Reaction – maximal effect not seen until
24-72 hours has elapsed• Characterized by:• Induration - a thickening and drying of the skin
tissue• Erythema – surrounding zone of redness
![Page 42: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
TYPE IV Cellular Hypersensitivity
• There is a localized reaction with lumps, hives or blisters
• Contact dermatitis can develop after exposure to many different allergens (clothing, jewelry, cosmetics, fur)
• For example: Poison ivy oil on leaves is an allergen
![Page 43: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

IMMUNE DEFICIENCIES• Bruton’s Agammaglobulinemia:
– Congenital disease– B-lymphocytes fail to develop in the bone
marrow– No antibodies are made– Can’t fight infectious disease
![Page 46: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
IMMUNE DEFICIENCIES• DiGeorge’s Syndrome:
– Congenital disease– T-lymphocytes don’t develop because of failure
in thymus gland– Cellular immunity is defective– Susceptible to fungal and protozoal diseases
![Page 47: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
IMMUNE DEFICIENCIES• Severe Combined Immunodeficiency
(SCID)– Congenital disease– Defects in both antibody and cellular immunity– All immune function is suppressed– David – longest surviving victim
• Lived in a sterile, plastic bubble at Baylor College of Medicine for 12 years
• Received a bone marrow transplant from his sister but died of blood cancer

Acquired Immune Deficiency (AIDS)
• Viral disease• Cellular immunity severely depressed• Antibody-mediated immunity also altered• Have very few T—cells• Ratio of T-cells is reversed:
– Normal 2 Helper T-cells:1 Suppressor T-cell– AIDS 1 Helper T-cell:2 Suppressor T-cells
![Page 51: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Transplantation• 4 Types of Transplantation (Grafts)
– Autograft – a graft taken from one part of the body and transplanted to another part of the same body (never rejected)
– Isograft – a tissue taken from one identical twin and transplanted to the other twin (never rejected)
– Allograft – a graft between random members of the same species (variable degrees of success)
– Xenograft – a graft between members of two different species (rarely successful)
![Page 52: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
![Page 53: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Transplantation• How to Make it Work:
– Tissue typing – a close match (relative) is more successful
– Immune Suppressant Drugs:• Antimitotic drugs prevent multiplication of
lymphocytes• Cyclosporin A suppresses cellular immunity• Antibodies against the lymphocytes• Steroid hormones - prednisone
![Page 54: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Antibodies Against Lymphocytes• To obtain antibodies against lymphocytes:
– 1. lymphocytes from transplant patient are injected into a horse
– 2. later, the horse is bled to obtain antibody-rich serum
– 3. when introduced to the transplant recipient, the antibodies react with the lymphocytes
– 4. this slows the immune response and increases success rate of transplant
![Page 55: MICROBIOLOGY- ALCAMO](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062815/568168f1550346895ddff710/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Monoclonal Antibodies• Antibody-secreting cells can become
cancerous• The cell will divide until it becomes a mass
of cells called a myeloma• Because it began as a single cell, all cells
are clones• The cells will produce only a single type of
antibody
