Can't remember the cytotoxic from the non-cytotoxic diseases of Type II hypersensitivity reactions? Bet you do.

Here's a simple mnemonic to help us remember the non-cytotoxic and everything else will be cytotoxic;

Mocking Globulin Production Diseases (globulin stands for antibodies, in these diseases the autoimmune antibodies mock natural ligands and block or stimulate some physiologic actions)

• Myasthenia Gravis
• Grave's disease
• Pernicious anemia
• Diabetes Mellitus (type II)

 

[Mr.Lisl]

Can anyone explain why Diabetes Mellitus (type II) was enlisted as non-cytotoxic HRS type II?
I suppose this disease is the insulin resistance without antibodies formation (vs. some cases of diabetes Mellitus (type I) which are examples of cytotoxic HSR II).
