What is Mechanisms of Hypersensitivity Reactions about?

Hypersensitivity reactions occur when an individual encounters an antigen they have been previously primed to, resulting in harmful immune responses and tissue damage. Type I hypersensitivity is mediated by IgE antibodies and mast cells, causing rapid allergic reactions. Mediators such as histamine are released, leading to effects like anaphylaxis. Type II involves antibody-mediated cell destruction through complement activation or antibody-dependent cytotoxicity.
