Abstract

When considering the immune mechanisms involved in immune inflammation it is important to recognize that in disease such inflammation is chronic, and as such cannot be explained by acute self-limited reactions. This is particularly true of the allergic diseases. The atopic individual develops an immune response which in addition to IgE-specific antibody usually includes IgG antibody of various subclasses and sensitized T-lymphocytes [1, 2]. These T-cells presumably have the potential to contribute to allergen-induced cell-mediated immune events.
