Ch14 Disorders in Immunity

3. Immune response where tissues are attacked by immune components that can't distinguish one's own tissues from foreign material.
5. Allergens that can cause food allergies
10. The most profuse and fast-acting allergic mediator; dilates blood vessels and stimulates eosinophils to release cytokines.
11. Airborne environmental allergens such as pollen, house dust, dander, or fungal spores.
12. type of hypersensitivity that involves common allergies and anaphylaxis (IgE mediated)
13. An exaggerated immune response manifested by inflammation
14. Condition that occurs when S. pyogenes bacteria causes disease, such as sore throat or skin infection, resulting in kidney damage after antigen complexes settle in the kidney (abbr.)
15. type of hypersensitivity that involves T-cell response.

1. Controlled exposure to antigen through ingestion, sublingual absorption, or injection, to reset the allergic reaction.
2. Immune response where ones immune system is underdeveloped, destroyed, or suppressed.
4. A systemic and sometimes fatal reaction that involves airway obstruction and circulatory collapse.
6. Condition involving immune system attacking healthy tissue, inflammation and damage to joints and organs, and chronic pain; involves a characteristic butterfly-shaped rash across the face (abbr.)
7. The study of diseases associated with the overreactivity or underreactivity of the immune response.
8. type of hypersensitivity that involves immune complexes
9. Condition involving dysfunction in B and T cells, where infants with this condition develop severe infection within days after birth and ultimately succumb to them if early treated.
12. type of hypersensitivity that involves igG and IgM mediated damage
