Q

Describe Preformed mediators:

A

Histamine and platelet activating factor (PAF) ◦
Responsible for symptoms seen during the Early phase, (within 15-20 minutes of exposure to the allergen).

Q

Describe Newly formed mediators:

A

leukotrienes and prostaglandins, take several hours to be synthesized, typically occurs 5-6 hours after allergen contact symptoms seen during the Late phase are the same as those of the early phase, but persist longer.
