allergy
???
cells that when provoked by a sensitized antigen, release histamine
initial exposure to antigenic compound; required to develop an allergy
histamine production & inflammation
gradual re-introduction of antigenic substance in increasingly large doses in attempt to build body's tolerance
exaggerated immune response to substances that are innocuous to others
mild response to an offending food that produces a disagreeable reaction without full blown immune effects
molecular aspect of a surface (usually a protein) that precipitates immune response
allergic response
