↑ synthesis of allergic
mediators
↓ inactivation of allergic mediators

substances – mediators of allergy.

Mediators of Allergy
Слайд 15
Classification of Allergy Mediators
Primary
(pre-stored)
Histamine
Heparine
Serotonine
Secondary
(new synthesis)
Prostaglandins
Leukotrienes
Cytokines
Слайд 16
Primary Mediators Effects
Histamine & Serotonin – vasodilation, ?
vascular permeability, ? tone of smooth muscle cells
Histamine +
pain, itching
Serotonin + ? secretion of mucus.
Heparin decreases blood clotting
Chemotaxins for neutrophils and eosinophils – provide the movement of the neutrophils and eosinophils
Слайд 17
Secondary Mediators
Leukotrienes - ↑ vessels permeability, spasm
of smooth muscles, chemotactic factors.
Prostaglandins – bronchospasm, ↑ mucus
secretion.
Platelet-activating factor - platelet aggregation, bronchospasm, release of histamine.
Cytokines – interleukins, tumor necrosis factor
Слайд 18
Type 2 allergic reactions
(antibody-dependent cytotoxicity)
Transfusion reactions, autoimmune
anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, thyroiditis.
Transformation of own antigens to
“non-self” antigens by chemicals, viruses.
The cell with transformed antigen – target cell
Synthesis of IgG and IgM against target cell antigens
