176: Hypersensitivity Reactions Explained: Type I vs Type II for NP Boards

Hypersensitivity reactions can feel like one of those immunology topics where there are too many antibodies, immune pathways, and symptoms to keep straight. But understanding how the immune system responds can make it much easier to recognize these reactions on NP boards and in clinical practice.
