Parent topics
- 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]
- Gell and Coombs classification of immune reactions [r]: Widely used in medicine, a four-group classification for immune hypersensitivity reactions [e]
- Immunotherapy [r]: Add brief definition or description
Subtopics
- Allergy desensitization [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Arachdonic acid [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]
