Chapter 19, Problem 10R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The Fc region of IgE binds to the receptors of mast cells or basophils and causes degranulation.
Introduction:
Type 1 hypersensitivity can cause the immune response to the exposure of antigen. When IgE antibodies bind to the receptors of mast cells, then they bind to the antigen. It causes degranulation of mast cells and releases granules like histamine and leukotrienes. It leads to the inflammation and breathing difficulties.

Students have asked these similar questions
A patient develops a blood infection with a capsule-producing strain of E.
coli. Phagocytosis by macrophage will be essential to destroy the bacteria
and resolve the infection. Which of the following will be dirertly
required to allow ADCC-opsonization of the encapsulated E. coli:
O Toll-like receptor (TLR)-induced secretion of tumor necrosis factor alpha
O Release of C3a to the extracellular fluids
O Presence of MHC II on the surface of the macrophage
O Presence of IgG receptors (Fc-gamma-R) on the macrophage
All of the answers apply
Which of the following is true about IgG?
View Available Hint(s) for Part A
It is restricted to effects inside the vascular system.
It stimulates a single immune responses.
It is the most common antibody class.
It cannot cross the placenta to protect an unborn fetus.
Kinase and coagulase are important for bacterial infections because they enable bacteria to move deeper into tissue by means of a blood
clot. What type of virulence factors are these two enzymes?
O Incomplete phagocytes
Extracellular enzymes
O Antiphagocytic factors
O Endotoxins

- Neutrophils can sometimes kill human cells along with pathogens when they release the toxic contents of their granules into the surrounding tissue. Likewise, natural killer cells target human cells for destruction. Explain why it is advantageous for the immune system to have cells that can kill human cells as well as pathogens.arrow_forwardA T cell can have TCRs with two different alpha chains. Explain how this can occur and why we typically only see mature T cells with one alpha chain.arrow_forwardMycobacteria are intracellular pathogens that have adapted to life inside phagocytic cells, such as macrophages. These intracellular bacteria are taken up by phagocytosis, similar to other pathogens, but the bacteria are not killed. One possible mechanism that could account for this immune evasion by mycobacteria is their ability to: Prevent induction of nitric oxide production in the phagosome Prevent the acidification of phagosomes Prevent the expression of antimicrobial peptides in the phagosome Prevent fusion of phagosomes with lysosomes Kill the macrophage before it kills themarrow_forward
