Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The Arthus reaction is a model of localized or cutaneous reactions. Serum sickness-type reactions are caused by the formation of immune complexes in the blood and their subsequent generalized deposition in target tissues. Typically affected tissues are the blood vessels, joints, and kidneys. Raynaud phenomenon is a condition caused by the temperature-dependent deposition of immune complexes in the capillary beds of the peripheral circulation. Antibody-dependent cytotoxicity is a type II form.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Immune-complex disease can be a systemic reaction, such as serum sickness, and related to type III reactions. Bronchial asthma is not an immune-complex-mediated disease and is related to type I reactions. Neither contact dermatitis nor rheumatoid arthritis is related to type III reactions.
