A 5th type of hypersensitivity reaction: Does incidental recruitment of autoreactive effector memory T-cells in response to minute amounts of PAMPs or DAMPs, underlie inflammatory episodes in the seronegative arthropathies and acute anterior uveitis
Medical Hypotheses, 05/22/09

Gray PEA - The hypothesis presented in this paper is that individual inflammatory episodes in the SNAs and HLA B27 AAU are initiated locally within the inflamed site, in response to tiny quantities of innately recognised molecules – pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). The mechanism would define a 5th type of clinical hypersensitivity reaction, one manifested by an excessive reaction to small pro-inflammatory signals, in individuals who possess tissue-specific autoreactive effector memory T-cells.
