• Mechanisms of immune mediated injury• Chemicals which elicit immune responses
– Contact sensitivity– Respiratory sensitivity– Food Allergy
• Chemicals which modulate responses to other antigens
HypersensitivityHypersensitivity
Definition: Excessive humoral or cellular response to an antigen which
can lead to tissue damage
Hypersensitivity: ClassificationHypersensitivity: Classification• Type 1: IgE mediated (Immediate type)
• Type 2: IgM, IgG, cytolysis of cells
• Type 3: IgM, IgG Immune complex mediated
• Type 4: T-cell mediated (delayed-type)
(Gel & Coombs classification)

Potential Effects of Chemicals Potential Effects of Chemicals on Allergic Diseaseon Allergic Disease
• Can themselves act as antigens– Haptens
• Contact sensitizers• Respiratory sensitizers• Systemic hypersensitivity (drugs)
– Proteins• Respiratory allergens• Food Allergens• Systemic hypersensitivity (drugs)
• Can enhance development or expression of allergic reactions

Structure Activity Relationship (SAR) ModelsStructure Activity Relationship (SAR) Models• Computer modeling using chemical structure to
predict ability to induce CHS• Based on following concepts:
– Biologic mechanism of chemical effect is related to structure
– Chemicals with related structures have similar mechanisms & hence effect
• How do SAR & QSAR models work– Chemical structure added into program– Structure compared to structures in data base of know
contact sensitizers– Structures associated with sensitizers are flagged

Characteristics of Allergic Characteristics of Allergic AsthmaAsthma
• Immediate ResponseImmediate Response– Bronchoconstriction– IgE mediated (IL-4)
• Late phaseLate phase– Hyperresponsive to
non-specific stimuli (methacholine)
– Eosinophilic Inflammation
– Th2 mediated (Il-5, IL-13)
Principal Asthma/Respiratory Principal Asthma/Respiratory Allergy Concerns for ToxicologistAllergy Concerns for Toxicologist
• Proteins - e.g detergent enzymes, biotech• Haptens (low molecular wt) - isocyanates &
anhydrides, platinum• Adjuvants - air pollution

• Mouse IgE test-– exposure variation of LLNA– assess total serum IgE
• Cytokine profiling – exposure variation on LLNA– assess cytokine profiles in draining lymph node,
look for differences in expression of Th1, Th2 profiles

Conditions That Influence Th1/Th2 Conditions That Influence Th1/Th2 PolarizationPolarization
• Nature or Dose of Antigen• Local Micro Environment
– cytokines & other mediators produced by macrophages & epithelial cells
• Genetics of Host• Route of Exposure
Food allergensFood allergens• Around 5% of children and 2-3 % or adults
have food allergies• Manifestations can range from life
threatening anaphylaxis, to respiratory or gut irritation
• Peanut classic example• Toxicologist involved because of GMOs
– acid resistant – homology with known allergens
