Which Cells Control Our Immune Response To Allergens?
Allergen-specific TH2 cells produce IL-4 and IL-13, which drive allergen-specific B cells to produce IgE. The specific IgE produced in response to the allergen binds to the high-affinity receptor for IgE on mast cells, basophils, and activated eosinophils. So basically, the specific IgE produced is responsible now what is IgE? Common allergic reactions, such as hay fever, certain types of asthma, and hives, are linked to an antibody produced by the body called immunoglobulin E (IgE). Each IgE antibody can be very specific, reacting against certain pollens and other allergens.

Our immunological responses are governed by various cells, but the majorly cells that are involved in generating immune responses in our body are B-cells and T-cells. B cells are known as B-Lymphocytes produced by bone marrow, and T-cells known as T-Lymphocytes are produced by Thymus. Both the cells work together and generate antibodies to fight microorganisms or, we can say, pathogens. Apart from these cells, our body produces Macrophages, Interleukins, Monocytes, and many other cells for providing immunity.
