A clean educational flowchart titled "Hypersensitivity Reactions (Gell & Coombs Classification)" for university microbiology exam. Four branches flowing down from the main title: TYPE I - Immediate/Anaphylactic: Allergen → IgE on Mast Cells → Degranulation → Histamine, Leukotrienes → Examples: Anaphylaxis, Asthma, Hay Fever. Onset: Minutes. TYPE II - Cytotoxic: Antigen on Cell Surface → IgG/IgM binds → Complement activation + ADCC → Cell lysis/destruction → Examples: Hemolytic anemia, Transfusion reactions, Goodpasture syndrome. Onset: Hours. TYPE III - Immune Complex: Soluble Antigen + IgG → Immune Complex formation → Complement activation → Neutrophil recruitment → Tissue inflammation → Examples: Serum sickness, SLE, Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, Arthus reaction. Onset: Hours. TYPE IV - Delayed/Cell-mediated: Antigen → T-cell sensitization → Re-exposure → Th1/CD8+ T-cell activation → Cytokines/Cytotoxicity → Examples: Contact dermatitis, TB skin test (Mantoux), Transplant rejection. Onset: 24-72 hours. Color-coded boxes: Type I in orange, Type II in blue, Type III in purple, Type IV in green. Clear arrows, bold labels, white background, professional medical diagram style.

Hypersensitivity Flowchart
Here's your exam-ready flowchart covering all 4 types. Quick memory aid:
TypeNameAntibody/CellOnset
IAnaphylacticIgEMinutes
IICytotoxicIgG/IgMHours
IIIImmune ComplexIgG complexesHours
IVDelayed (DTH)T-cells (no antibody)24-72 hrs
Key exam tip: Types I, II, III = antibody-mediated. Type IV = only one that is T-cell mediated (no antibody).
