New cards

What immunoglobulins are involved in Type III hypersensitivity?

IgG and IgM immunoglobulins are involved in Type III hypersensitivity.

2
New cards

What happens when IgG and IgM recognize soluble antigens in Type III hypersensitivity?

They prompt the formation of immune complexes.

3
New cards

Is the formation of immune complexes always harmful?

No, formation of immune complexes is a normal part of the immune response. However, inefficient clearance can lead to hypersensitivity reactions.

New cards

What does inefficient clearance of immune complexes lead to in Type III hypersensitivity?

It leads to abnormal activation of inflammatory responses and cells that attempt to clear the immune complexes.
