Flashcard 21: What type of hypersensitivity reaction is chronic autoimmune gastritis?
_____
Answer: Type IV (T-cell mediated)
Extra:
* This is not peculiar to autoimmune gastritis, most autoimmune diseases are also type 4 hypersensitivity reactions but they have positive antibodies in the serum which have diagnostic significance. The way I think of it, after these cells have been destroyed by the cellular immune response, intracellular antigens are taken up by B cells which differentiate and secrete antibodies against these antigens*
