(i) Serum sickness belongs to what type of hypersensitivity? What causes serum sickness? (ii) Serum sickness does begin immediately upon the production of anti-BSA antibodies. How does the amount of antibody present relate to the formation of large or small immune complexes? Explain which of these would trigger serum sickness?
