Why is the allergic response in serum sickness delayed?
While other types of allergic reactions may produce a rapid response, the serum sickness reaction is delayed because it takes time for the body to produce antibodies to the new protein.
Does an allergic reaction produce a rash?
One of the most common symptoms of an allergic reaction is an itchy rash
What is a substance that induces an immune response?
This substance has a general name called an antigen.
How often does the immune system produce antibodies?
When a foreign substance enters the body.
Could an allergic reaction to surgical adhesive used in a plastic surgury procedure cause your sinuses to produce excessive amounts of mucous?
When your body comes into contact with any substance that you may be allergic to (such as pollen, dust or even surgical adhesive), it reacts to it by trying to get rid of the foreign particles. One such method of the body reacting is by producing more mucus to help push the substance out of the body. So it is possible if you are allergic to surgical adhesive to produce more mucus.
Substance that causes the body to produce antibodies?
Fresh fruit is a very good way to help your body produce antibodies. There is a juice called "naked" that is very good for this. Herbal teas are also very helpful.
What plasma proteins are complement proteins?
Complement proteins are a series of immune proteins that carry out complement cascade reactions. These proteins are helping the immune system to lean up from the cells. complement proteins are not antibodies.

A synthesis reaction
Which action forms a different chemical substance?

A chemical change may produce a new substance called a...?
This new substance can be called product of reaction or resulting substance.
How does the immune system respond to cedar pollen?
In the form of an allergic reaction*First, the cedar pollen is mis-marked by an antibody, generally an IgE antibody.The IgE can be picked up by two different cells - cells that destroy the pollen and cells that react to it. Those that destroy it will go on to alert the immune system of its presence, which will produce more antibodies and cause the person around the pollen to feel weaker, as well as cause a stronger allergic reaction.The allergic reaction is caused by a cell known as the Mast Cell. The mast cell is hit with a pollen particle covered in antibodies. The cell reads these antibodies and produces a substance called histamine.Histamine causes the skin to swell. As the skin swells, it tightens, which can cause irritation. In the eyes and throat this can cause the production of mucus.Histamine can go to many different parts of the body. Most allergy sufferers suffer from swollen, runny noses (Runny noses are worsened by the swelling of mucus membranes in the eyes). This is histamine. Eyes may swell up and tear. This is histamine. The throat may become sore. This is histamine.Another reaction is when the histamine attacks the skin rather than the mucus membranes. This can causes hives and the swelling of the entire face. We see this more in reaction to plant oils, like poison ivy.* - not everyone will respond in an allergic reaction. In some people, the IgE antibodies will not bind to the pollen and thus the reaction is completely avoided.
What is a substance usually a protein that causes the formation of an antibody and reacts specifically with that antibody?
An antigen is any substance that causes your immune system to produce antibodies against it. An antigen may be a foreign substance from the environment. If you get a vaccine for rubella, the antibody formed will not act against mumps (another virus).
