Allergy Guidelines Booklet
An allergy is a hypersensitivity reaction initiated by the immune system. Allergy can be antibody- or cell mediated. The antibody typically responsible for an allergic reaction belongs to the IgE isotype, and these individuals may be referred to as suffering from an IgE-mediated allergy. Individuals suffering from a cell-mediated allergy are referred to as suffering from a non-IgE mediated allergy.
A reaction not initiated by the immune system, is not classified as an allergy and cannot be detected by allergy tests. Examples include: lactose intolerance, sensitivity to caffeine and other intolerances.
