Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Type V hypersensitivity reactions are known as stimulatory responses.The classic example of type V hypersensitivity is Graves' disease,in which the person makes a large amount of antibody that binds to the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibody (TSHr-Ab)on thyroid tissue.The binding of this antibody to the TSH receptor activates the receptor,greatly stimulating the thyroid gland and causing severe hyperthyroid symptoms.This type of reaction is not cell mediated.It is not an immediate response,nor does it cause more severe tissue damage.
