Question
Chapter 29, Problem 3WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The side effects of the drug that kills the mast cells.
Introduction:
Allergens are defined as nonpathogenic substances that are harmless in normal condition but still trigger an immune response in a person. Allergic responses are also called as type I hypersensitivity reaction, and the body produces IgE immunoglobulins in response to the antigen. These antibodies stimulate the release of histamine by the mast cells, and it produces an immune response.

Students have asked these similar questions
What products do the mast cells release during inflammation, and what are their effects?
One mechanism by which anti-inflammatory medications like steroids work is by decreasing mast cell survival.
Given what we learned about the inflammatory process, explain in detail how you think this type of steroid would work to block the process of inflammation
An experimental animal is given a drug that blocks phagocytosis. Will this drug prevent the animal’s immune system from killing foreign cells via the complement system?
