Immune System (Allergic Response Modulation)

Molecular classification
Immune System Process, Signaling Pathway, Cytokine Signaling Pathway
01

Overview

The immune system's modulation of allergic responses involves a complex interplay between various immune cells, antibodies, and molecular pathways. Allergic reactions are hypersensitive immune responses to typically harmless antigens (allergens), resulting in symptoms ranging from mild irritation to severe anaphylaxis. The process is primarily mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies and involves both innate and adaptive immunity.

02

Mechanism of action

The mechanism of action depends on the specific drug, including: - Blocking histamine receptors - Reducing inflammation - Preventing mast cell degranulation - Neutralizing IgE - Blocking leukotriene receptors - Inducing immune tolerance to specific allergens
