Jones - Mole reaction (cutaneous basophil hypersensitivity)Type V stimulating type reaction: It is a modification of type II hypersensitivity reaction eg Grave's disease - in which thyroid hormones are produced in excess amountThyroid stimulating antibody (LATs) is a specific thyroid auto antibody to thyroid membrane antigens, LATs can cross placenta which may lead to hyperthyroidism in neonates.Antibody - Dependent Cell Mediated Cytotoxicity (ADCO Type VI hyper sensitivity reaction - While most workers prefer include the entity under immediate type (Type I hypersensitivity reaction) because of involvement of circulating Ig. ADCC is mediated through NK cells and the cytoplasmic mechanism is independent of compliment (206-C)
