In a Type II hypersensitivity reaction,when soluble antigens from infectious agents enter circulation,what causes tissue damage?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Type II hypersensitivity reactions, the soluble antigens bind to and activate complement, which attracts and activates neutrophils. The neutrophils release toxic oxygen products and granules, which can cause tissue damage. Phagocytosis by macrophages and in the spleen may also occur, but they are not the main cause of tissue damage in Type II hypersensitivity reactions. Complement-mediated cell lysis is a characteristic of Type I hypersensitivity reactions, not Type II.
