I'm doing a paper on type I hypersensitivity reactions and am looking for
answers to a few questions that have popped up. Any help is greatly
appreciated.
Answer here or to PaladinC at aol.com.
What is the general cause of daily allergies?
Is it a continual degranulation due to continual Ag/Ig stimulation of mast
cells?
When does Ag leave the body?
If Ag doesn't leave body, do circulating IgE conglomerates continue the
reaction?
Are the allergies caused by over-production of IgE? Mast cells?
Is it a genetic defect in mast cells that makes degranulation easier? A
Ca2+ oversensitivity?
Thanks!
