Abbas: Cellular and Molecular Immunology, 9th Edition
Immediate Hypersensitivity
Test Bank
Multiple Choice
1. Which of the following is the most common disorder of immunity that affects 20% of
all individuals in the United States?
A. Atopy
B. Diabetes mellitus
C. Leukemia
D. IgA deficiency
E. Latent tuberculosis infection
ANS: A. Atopy, or allergy, is the most common disorder of immunity and affects 20% of
all individuals in the United States. Within this category, allergic rhinitis is perhaps the
most common allergic disease and is a consequence of immediate hypersensitivity
reactions to common allergens, such as plant pollen or house dust mites, localized to the
upper respiratory tract by inhalation. Selective IgA deficiency is the most common
known primary immunodeficiency.
ANS: D. The main cellular mediators of immediate hypersensitivity reactions are mast
cells, basophils, and eosinophils. IgE antibody plays a major role in sensitizing these
cellular mediators for subsequent activation. Activation of TH2 cells is required for
appropriate release of cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13, which stimulate
IgE class switching in B cells. In contrast, macrophages are effector cells in delayed-type
hypersensitivity reactions.
Matching
Questions 4-10
Match the definitions in questions 4-10 with the mast cell mediator (A-G) that most
closely matches it.
A. Histamine
B. Tryptase
C. Prostaglandin D2
D. Leukotriene C4
E. Platelet-activating factor
F. Interleukin-5
Tumor necrosis factor-
ANS: F. Interleukin-5 is a cytokine synthesized by activated mast cells (as well as TH2
cells) and promotes eosinophilia and eosinophilic inflammation, which are characteristic
of chronic immediate hypersensitivity conditions.
6. Biogenic amine that transiently increases vascular permeability and smooth muscle
contraction
ANS: A. Histamine, one of several biogenic amines in mast cell granules, is partly
responsible for the rapid increases in vascular permeability causing wheals (or hives) and
for the smooth muscle contraction in bronchi and intestines, causing some of the
pulmonary and gastrointestinal symptoms of immediate hypersensitivity reactions.
ANS: B. Tryptase is a neutral serine protease stored in mast cell granules. When released
into the extracellular matrix, this enzyme cleaves fibrinogen and activates collagenases,
contributing to tissue damage.
9. Soluble factor that promotes inflammation and late-phase reaction and activates
endothelial expression of adhesion molecules critical for sequential neutrophilic
infiltrate
ANS: G. When tumor necrosis factor- is released during IgE-mediated mast cell
activation, it activates endothelial expression of the adhesion molecules, accounting for
subsequent infiltration of neutrophils. As such, it is critical for inflammation and the late-
phase allergic reaction.
