Summary Introduction
To answer:
Will the injected antibodies help to improve from rheumatoid arthritis?
Introduction:
The hypersensitivity is the body’s defense mechanism to an allergen, autoimmunity, and venom. The allergen can be of pollen, mold, and chemicals. The poison ivy, bee-stung injects venom into the body. There are totally five types of hypersensitivity depending upon the state of the allergen. The rheumatoid arthritis is classified as autoimmune disorder as well as type III hypersensitivity.
