4 Main Types of Hypersensitivity | Immunology

Several types of hypersensitive reactions can be identified, reflecting differences in the effector molecules generated in the course of the reaction. Gell and Coomb described four types of hyper­sensitivity reactions (Types I, II, III and IV). The first three types are antibody-mediated and the fourth type is mediated mainly by T-cell and macro-phases i.e. cell-mediated (Table 11.1 and 11.2; Fig. [...]

Type III Hypersensitivity 4. Type IV Hypersensitivity. 1. Type I Hypersensitivity (Anaphylaxis): This type of hypersensitivity is the most common among all the types. About 17% of the human population may be affected, probably due [...]
