Q

Non-immunological reaction & examples

A

Narcotics, contrast, NMB.

Does not require Ca or energy to produce histamine release and reaction.

17
Q

Immunological reactions & examples

A

Histamine released by IgE cells binding to mast cells. They must see the antigen twice for the second time reaction.

18
Q

Steps to “specific” immunologic release of histamine

A

be sensitized by first exposure,
second exposure activates IgEs,
release of Ca,
much more than just histamine is released by mast cells so the effects of activation is more than just from histamine
