Abstract

Summary It is 100 years since Clemens von Pirquet wrote his classic paper introducing the term 'allergy'. Although the word is no longer used in the way he intended, his concept of 'changed reactivity' laid the foundation for the modern science of immunology.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death.
