Portier and Richet: Discovery of Anaphylaxis(Early 20th Century)

Can We Treat Jellyfish Toxin poisoning the way we do for Diphtheria Toxin or Rabies Toxin ? Generate and antibody to the toxin?

Make anti-toxin antibody in dogs:Inject Jellyfish toxin at sub-lethal levels into dogs.

Give secondary booster injection with minute amount of toxinCatastrophe!Got the opposite of protection

Not phylaxis (protection)But ana-phylaxis (opposite of protection)

Notes on animal experimentationNotes on how Science and Medicine proceed

Some Definitions and Concepts"Hypersensitivity" - Suggests Heightened Response

Includes in-appropriate or mis-regulated response

"Allergy“: Generally refers to Type I Immediate Hypersensitivity; But also hear Types II and III "Allergy“

“Atopic” Allergy (Atopic Individual): Genetic misregulation of IgE production or response

"Immediate"- Within minutes (Type I) or hours (Types II and III)

"Delayed" - Takes two or more days

"Phylaxis" - Protection

"Anaphylaxis" - Opposite of Protection; Damaging

Note on Type III: Antigen-Antibody Mediated Allergy

Excess antigen produces large amount of small antigen-antibody complexes because of excess antigen.

Difficult for phagocytic cells to clear immmune complexesGet deposition of AgAb Complexes in tissues and organsGet Inflammatory Damage

What if the antigen is an auto-antigen?Cannot be clearedGet chronic inflammatory responseRheumatoid Arthritis

Topics in Type I Immediate Hypersensitivity That we Need to Address:

Mediators that cause Mast Cell/Basophil Immune Responses and Type I Hypersensitivity

How Do We Control Type I Immediate Hypersensitivity?

Why do we have Type I Mast Cell Degranulation Responses Anyway?

Mediators of Type I Hypersensitivity:Stored in Mast Cell Granules

(See Table 16-3, Immunology, 5th Edition, p. 370)Primary Mediators of Type I Hypersensitivity

Histamine, Heparin and Serotonin Increased vascular permeability;

Smooth Muscle Contraction

Chemotactic Factors for

Eosinophils and Neutrophils Attract Eosinophils & Neutrophils

Proteases Degrade Basement membranes of blood vessels;

Activate bronchial mucous secretions;

Activate Complement

Secondary Mediators of Type I Hypersensitivity:Synthesized and Released After Mast Cell Activation

(See Table 16-3, Immunology, 5th Edition, p. 370)

Platelet Activating Factor Platelet Aggregation& Degranulation; Smooth muscle contraction

Prostaglandins Vasodilation; Smooth muscle contraction

Leukotrienes (SRS-A)* Increased vascular permeability; Pulmonary smooth muscle contraction

(*SRS-A : Slow Reacting Substance of Anaphylaxis)

Bradykinin Increased vascular permeability; Smooth muscle contraction

Cytokines: Systemic Anaphylaxis; (IL1 & TNF-a; Others*) Altered Cell adhesion* See Slide 42

Overview of Mast Cell Mediated Type I ImmediateHypersensitivity: Triggering of Sensitized Cells and Release of

Early and Late Mediators:How Do We Treat This???

Approaches to Control of Type I Hypersensitivity Reponses

To Treat Type I Immediate Hypersensitivity Based on the Underlying Mechanisms:

1.Block Effects of Primary Mediators on Target Cells (e.g. respiratory smooth muscles or vascular endothelium) : Antihistamines; Cortisone

2.Block Calcium Ion Influx: Cromolyn

3.Block the Effects of Calcium Ion Influxa. Keep cyclic AMP (cAMP) from Falling Theophylline b. Increase production of cAMP: Adrenaline

Why Basic Biological Mechanisms Matter in Medicine

How Can we Prevent or Over-ride This IgE mediated Immediate Type I Hypersensitivity?

Desensitization to Type I (IgE-Mediated)Immediate Hypersensitivity:

Isotype-Switching from IgE to IgG

Association of Economic Status with Type I Immediate Hypersensitivity Allergy:

The Role of Environmental Multicellular Agents

Why is IgE Causing All This Trouble?ADCC-Mediated anti-parasitic Attack

Here is a question no reasonable Prof would ask in an Exam in Immunobiology:

“List all of the primary and secondary mediators of Type I hypersensitivity that you can remember”.

(If you need to know that kind of thing, search it on your favorite information source. That’s safer anyway, especially if you are trying to treat a patient.)

Here are questions that get to the heart of understanding and that really matter in the real world of medicine:(You can’t look something up if you don’t know enough to realize that the question exists and matters)

“What is the fundamental difference between primary mediators of hyper-sensitivity and secondary mediators?”

In terms of therapy, why does it matter whether something is a primary mediator or a secondary mediator of Type I

immediate hypersensitivity?

Give an example of a primary mediator of Type I hypersensitivity.

This shows time course of responses. Methylation and decline (Solid blue line) happens firstThen cyclic AMP formation and break-down (Solid black line)Then Calcium uptake (Dashed blue line)Then histamine release (Dashed black line)Treatment depends on these time courses.
