Allergic Drug Reactions

1.6K
Allergic reactions related to drugs are hypersensitivity responses driven by the immune system and bear no connection to the drug's therapeutic action. While drugs in isolation do not trigger an immune response, they can interact with endogenous proteins to form antigens. These antigens stimulate lymphocytes to produce antibodies. IgE-type antibodies attach themselves to mast cells. Upon subsequent exposure to the same stimulus, the antigen-antibody interaction is initiated, unleashing...

Drug Toxicity: Allergic Reactions

126
Drug-related allergies are immune-mediated responses triggered by the administration of pharmacological agents. These hypersensitivity reactions are classified based on the immune mechanisms involved. The four primary types—Type I, II, III, and IV—are mediated by different immunological pathways and exhibit distinct clinical manifestations.Type I Hypersensitivity/ IgE-Mediated Reactions: Immunoglobulin E (IgE) immediately mediates Type I hypersensitivity reactions. Upon initial...

Allergic Reactions: Anaphylaxis

142
Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction mediated by Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. When IgE binds to allergens, it triggers the release of mediators– histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins from mast cells and basophils. These mediators cause vasodilation, edema, and inflammation, leading to various symptoms.The primary allergens causing anaphylaxis include food items (e.g., peanuts, shellfish), drugs (e.g., penicillin, asparaginase, corticotropin,...

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs

2.3K
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition for which new therapeutic avenues, including anti-inflammatory drugs like mast cell stabilizers and anti-IgE treatments, continue to be developed.
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...

Area of Science:

  • Food science
  • Immunology
  • Allergy research

Background:

  • Tree nut allergy is a growing health concern, affecting 1.2-2% of the global population.
  • Complete avoidance of tree nuts is challenging due to cross-contamination and hidden ingredients.
  • Food processing can alter allergenic proteins, but its effect on tree nut allergens is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent findings on the influence of food processing on tree nut allergens.
  • To provide an update on how conventional and novel processing methods affect allergenic proteins in tree nuts.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies investigating food processing techniques and their impact on tree nut allergens.
  • Analysis of research on changes in secondary protein structures and their functional properties.

Main Results:

  • The impact of food processing on tree nut allergens is variable and complex.
  • Studies show diverse effects of processing methods on the allergenic potential of tree nuts.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding how processing affects tree nut allergens is crucial for managing allergies.
  • Further research is needed to clarify the precise mechanisms and optimize processing for reduced allergenicity.
