Type II hypersensitivity, in the Gell and Coombs classification of allergic reactions, is an antibody mediated process in which IgG and IgM antibodies are directed against antigens on cells or extracellular material. This subsequently leads to cell lysis, tissue damage or loss of function through mechanisms such as 1. complement activation via the classical complement pathway 2. antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity or 3. anti-receptor activity. The activation of the the complement system results in opsonization, the agglutination of red blood cells, cell lysis, and cell death.
