This is a type III hypersensitivity reaction mediated by immune complex deposits. Immune complexes are antigen-antibody (commonly IgG) complexes that are soluble and prone to deposition in multiple organs. Once immune complexes are deposited in an organ, neutrophils and macrophages will then attack the organ causing organ damage and eventually failure. Type III hypersensitivity reactions are characteristic in SLE and other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, etc.

Other types are type I hypersensitivity which are mediated by mast cells and histamine with the involvement of IgE and this commonly happens in allergic reactions. Type II hypersensitivity is cytotoxic hypersensitivity wherein antibodies directly attack organs (not forming immune complexes). Type IV hypersensitivity (or cell-mediated toxicity) involves T-lymphocytes. This is a delayed type of hypersensitivity exemplified by reactions from M. tuberculosis bacilli in tuberculous disease.

The three most prominent are Biological, morphological and phylogenetic species concept.

1. Biological species concept- Individuals that can interbreed naturally are placed into the same species. Therefore, Biological species concept, not applicable for extinct species

2. Morphological - Relies on similarities in structure

This species concept places individuals having similar body structures into the same species. It can be easily applied to asexual and extinct species.

3. Phylogenetic - Based on evolutionary history

Species are classified according to a common ancestor.

4. Morphological and Phylogenetic

Accommodates asexual reproduction

Species acceptance criteria can be subjective

5. Morphological, Phylogenetic, and Biological

Used by scientists in classification

All the three concepts are used for classification.
