Quick Notes on Hypersensitivity (With Diagram)
Immune response recruits and mobilizes a series of effector molecules that induce a localized inflammatory response, which ultimately removes the antigen. This inflammatory response usually does not extensively damage the host tissues. But under certain conditions, the inflammatory response produces deleterious effects, resulting in significant tissue damage or even death; this is termed as hypersensitivity or allergy. Hypersensitive reactions may [...]
