Abstract:Anaphylaxis: Etiology, Clinical Manifestations, Diagnosis and Management 169
Animal modelsStudies with murine models demonstrate 2 pathways of systemic anaphylaxis: one mediated by IgE, FcεRI, mast cells, histamine, and platelet-activating factor (PAF), and the other mediated by IgG, FcγRIII, macrophages, and PAF. The former pathway requires much less antibody and antigen than the latter. As a result, IgG antibody can block IgE-mediated anaphylaxis induced by small quantities of antigen without mediating FcγRI… Show more
