Abstract:
In China, the prevalence of allergic diseases is increasing, but allergy research and allergy diagnosis technologies are still in their infancy, posing certain hurdles to clinical diagnosis and treatment. The detection of allergen is essential for the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases. Clarifying the aetiology and risk factors of allergic diseases is critical in order to provide targeted environmental control and therapy for allergic diseases, as well as reduce patient pain and financial burden. In this study, allergen detection technologies and diagnosis strategies are described in order to provide direction for clinicians and laboratory technicians, improve allergic diseases diagnosis, and guide allergic disease therapy.

01:10Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
