Immune System (IgE-Mediated Hypersensitivity)

Molecular classification
Immune System, Hypersensitivity Reaction
01

Overview

The immune system's role in eliciting IgE-mediated (Type I) hypersensitivity reactions. This involves sensitization to allergens, IgE production, mast cell activation, and the release of inflammatory mediators leading to allergic symptoms ranging from mild irritation to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
