(Gell and Coombs classification) : Type I reactions are initiated by antigens reacting with cell-bound antibody, usually IgE. Release of mediators, mainly from basophils and mast cells, provide the pathogenic mechanism. 1, record 1, English, - type%20I%20hypersensitivity%20reaction

Réaction d'immunité humorale. La combinaison antigène-anticorps provoque la libération par les cellules basophiles ou les mastocytes d'histamine et de substances vaso-actives. Les anticorps sont des IgE. La réaction est précoce. En clinique, l'asthme franc, la pollinose, le choc anaphylactique, certaines urticaires sont dues à la réaction de type I. 1, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9action%20immunitaire%20de%20type%20I

Réaction d'immunité humorale. La combinaison antigène-anticorps susceptible de fixer le complément forme des immuncomplexes qui se déposent dans les parois vasculaires où ils provoquent une inflammation (phénomène d'Arthus). Les anticorps sont des IgG ou des IgM de type précipitant; les manifestations pathologiques apparaissent après quelques heures et la réaction est dite semi-retardée. En clinique, les alvéolites allergiques, la maladie sérique, certaines urticaires et glomérulonéphrites, le lupus érythémateux sont causés par réaction de type III. 1, record 3, French, - r%C3%A9action%20immunitaire%20de%20type%20III
