Question
Chapter 43.4, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: Whether myasthenia gravis is an immunodeficiency disease, an autoimmune disease, or an allergic disease.
Concept introduction:
In immunodeficiency diseases, the response to the antigen by the immune system is ineffective or absent.
In autoimmune disease, the immune system of the body will generate a response against particular molecules that are produced by the same host.
In allergic diseases, the IgE molecules that are attached on the mast cell are cross-linked by the allergen and causes hypersensitivity reactions.

Explain the term immunoglobulin (IG).
Match each autoimmune disease with its characteristics and the immune cell/s or molecules most associated with the disease
(e.g., Antibodies, T cells, CTLs and TREG cells). It is possible that more than one effector cell/molecule is involved.
IPEX syndrome
Type 1 diabetes
Rheumatoid arthritis
Hashimoto's thyroiditis
APS-1
Multiple sclerosis
Define hypersensitivity. List three types of hypersensitivity reactions. For each, note whether antibodies or T cells are involved and provide two examples.
