| Difference between hypersensitivities |
1, Immediate onset involves contact with allergens
2, Interaction of antibodies, foreign cells, and complement leading to lysis of the foreign cell
3, Exposure to a large quantity of soluble foreign antigens, circulating fee floating antigens
4, Delayed response, 12-48 hours after exposure to antigen involving the activation of and edamage by Tcells. Does NOT involve Bcells.... |
| Sensitizing dose |
Type 1 hypersentsitivity reaction. This exposure to the allergen is the sensitizing dose that primes the allergic response system. |
| Desensitization |
Desensitization therapy involves the administration of purified allergens to prevent reactions between allergen, IgE, and mast cells. Injected allergens stimulate the formation of high levels of allergen specific IgG (which have a high affinity for the allergen) instead of IgE. These IgG blocking antibodies remove allergen from the system before it can bvind to IgE, thus preventing the degranulation of mast cells.
