Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Some more general info, maybe someone can find better descriptions The Immunologic Basis of Allergic Diseases http://medic.med.uth.tmc.edu/hcprof/00000027.htm http://microbiology.medicine.dal.ca/people/hoskin/hypersen.htm hypersensitivity or allergy is the result of exaggerated and inappropriate immune reactions that are damaging and sometimes fatal to the host, i.e., induce some form of pathology. Individuals undergoing these reactions are termed to be “hyper” sensitive to a particular antigen because their immune system is reacting in a damaging rather than protective fashion.
