Sensitization & ResponseSensitization & Response
What is happening?What is happening? Initial exposure sensitizes mast cells.Initial exposure sensitizes mast cells. Antigen specific IgE molecules attach to Antigen specific IgE molecules attach to
high affinity Fc receptors on the mast cell high affinity Fc receptors on the mast cell surface.surface.
Cross linking of IgE molecules on surface Cross linking of IgE molecules on surface causes intracellular signaling pathwaycauses intracellular signaling pathway– Inflammatory mediators are released upon Inflammatory mediators are released upon
degranulationdegranulation
Mediators InvolvedMediators Involved Include histamine, proteases, chemotactic Include histamine, proteases, chemotactic
factors, leukotrienes, prostaglandin D, and factors, leukotrienes, prostaglandin D, and cytokinescytokines
Primary: released before degranulationPrimary: released before degranulation– Interleukin 4 used by T cells induces B cell Interleukin 4 used by T cells induces B cell
maturationmaturation– IL-3 and IL-5 released by T and mast cells are IL-3 and IL-5 released by T and mast cells are
chemo attractants for eosinophilschemo attractants for eosinophils Secondary: come from granulesSecondary: come from granules
