Answer to Question 1

1
Early response to an antigen includes sneezing, an increase in nasal secretions, and itchy eyes. The late response can begin at the same time or be delayed hours. The late response does not occur in everyone and is characterized by more severe symptoms such as airway obstruction.

Answer to Question 2

4
Type 1 reactions are anaphylactic reactions. Type 2 is cytotoxic. Type 3 is immune complex. Type 4 is delayed hypersensitive reaction evidenced by transplant rejection.
