Hypersensitivity is an inappropriate immune system response. It is a thingy one may get quizzed on.

Gell & Coombs classification

Gell & Coombs, in the 1960s, came-up with a classification that has endured.

Type (I-IV) Formal name[1] Name Example Mediator Pathology
I Immediate h. Allergic h. anaphylaxis, (atopic) bronchial asthma, allergies antibodies (IgE) mast cells, inflammation (esp. eosinophils), edema
II Antibody mediated h. Cytotoxic antibody dependent h. Goodpasture syndrome,[2] Graves disease antibodies (IgG, IgM) (antibody-mediated) phagocytosis & lysis
III Immune complex mediated h. Immune complex mediated h. systemic lupus erythematosus, hypersensitivity pneumonitis,[3] rheumatoid arthritis antigen-antibody complex inflammation, vasculitis with fibrinoid necrosis
IV Cell-mediated h. Delayed-type hypersensitivity tuberculosis, contact dermatitis, chronic transplant rejection, inflammatory bowel disease activated T cells perivascular inflammation, granulomas


Memory device ACID:[4]

  • Allergic, Cytotoxic-mediated, Immune-complex disease, Delayed hypersensitivity.
