Allergy and immunology [r]: In medicine medical specialty concerned with the hypersensitivity of the individual to foreign substances and protection from the resultant infection or disorder; may be a subspecialty of internal medicine or pediatrics; also includes the biological scientific study of the immune system and the development of laboratory support for immune phenomena ^[e]
Immunotherapy [r]: Add brief definition or description

Allergy desensitization [r]: Add brief definition or description
Basophil [r]: A circulating leukocyte which, when sensitized to a specific antigen by means of an immunoglobulin E molecule bound to its surface, will release physiologically potent chemicals on recognizing that antigen ^[e]
Bradykinin [r]: Nonapeptide messenger that is enzymatically produced from kallidin in the blood where it is a potent but short-lived agent of arteriolar dilation and increased capillary permeability. ^[e]
Histamine [r]: A biogenic amine involved in local immune responses as well as regulating physiological function in the gut and acting as a neurotransmitter. ^[e]
Immunoglobulin [r]: Proteins produced by lymphocytes, which are primarily antibodies to attack material the body considers hostile, although some may act as cytokines, signaling to other cells ^[e]
Mast cell [r]: Non-circulating, but leukocyte-like (especially basophil) associated with the inflammatory response, especially the release of histamine. ^[e]
