A physiologic differentiation between delayed and immediate hypersensitivity

Immediate hypersensitivity and delayed hypersensitivity to clopidogrel.

Clopidogrel is a new antiplatelet prescribed for the secondary prevention of atherosclerotic events. The literature shows that the clinical manifestations of clopidogrel hypersensitivity include urticaria1, skin rash2-4, and angioedema5. The precise immunological mechanism underlying clopidogrel hypersensitivity has not been established. We describe two cases of hypersensitivity reaction due to...

Immunological Specificity of Delayed and Immediate Hypersensitivity Reactions

The effects of the following parameters on the immunologic specificity of delayed and immediate hypersensitivity reactions were investigated in the guinea pig using the picryl and p-toluenesulfonyl systems: (a) the contribution of the carrier protein, (b) the effect of the number of hapten groups per molecule of the immunizing and challenging antigens, and (c) the effect of interposing a 6 carb...

Immediate and delayed hypersensitivity reactions to a single dose of oxaliplatin.

Delayed Hypersensitivity

in agriculture, an application that accounts for approximately 40% of the total production of these agents. It is obviously impossible to give detailed descriptions of the many excellent papers in this volume, but some points may be noted. From a pharmacological viewpoint, the area of structure-activity relationships is particularly well covered in regard to penicillins (K. et al.) and lincomyc...
