Abstract | In this article we present the problem of food hypersensitivity with the focus on food allergy and food allergens. In the introduction we explain basic conceptions in allergology and basic terminology as it is proposed by European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology. In this part there is a graphical presentation hypersensitivity reactions diversity as well as diversity of reactions in food hypersentitivity. In the second part there is an explainatation of mechanisms involved in IgE mediated allergic reaction as well as non-IgE mediated allergy and nonallergic reactions to food. We disscuse the symptoms, provoked by all different hypersensitivity reactions and different food and ingredients - allergens, which trigger hyperreactivity reactins. In conclusion we present the list of allergens being used in our laboratory for the in vitro assesment of IgE mediated allergy. | |
