Hypersensitivity Reaction Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6140
The Hypersensitivity Reaction Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that illustrates the four types of hypersensitivity reactions classified under the Gell and Coombs system.
It is used in immunology and medical courses to explain how exaggerated or inappropriate immune responses cause tissue damage in allergies, autoimmune disease, and other clinical conditions.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Hypersensitivity | Exaggerated or inappropriate immune responses that cause tissue damage |
| Type I (Immediate) | IgE-mediated mast cell degranulation, seen in allergies and anaphylaxis |
| Type II (Cytotoxic) | Antibody-mediated destruction of cells bearing a specific antigen |
| Type III (Immune Complex) | Deposition of antibody-antigen complexes in tissues, causing inflammation |
| Type IV (Delayed-Type) | T cell-mediated reaction that develops over one to several days |
| Clinical Relevance | Underlies allergies, autoimmune disease, transfusion reactions, and contact dermatitis |
Key Features
- Compares all four Gell and Coombs hypersensitivity types
- Distinguishes antibody-mediated from T cell-mediated reactions
- Links each hypersensitivity type to representative clinical conditions
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use
- Compact benchtop format suitable for laboratories and lecture halls

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Hypersensitivity Reaction Model demonstrate?
A. It demonstrates the four Gell and Coombs types of hypersensitivity reactions and their underlying mechanisms.
Q2. What is a Type I hypersensitivity reaction?
A. Type I is an immediate, IgE-mediated reaction caused by mast cell degranulation, as seen in allergies and anaphylaxis.
Q3. How does Type II differ from Type III hypersensitivity?
A. Type II involves antibody-mediated destruction of specific cells, while Type III involves tissue deposition of antibody-antigen immune complexes.
Q4. What is Type IV hypersensitivity?
A. Type IV is a delayed-type, T cell-mediated reaction that develops over one to several days after antigen exposure.
Q5. Who uses this model?
A. Immunology, medical, and biotechnology students and faculty use it to study hypersensitivity reactions.
