متن کاملDrug hypersensitivity reactions: pathomechanism and clinical symptoms.
Small molecules, used as drugs, can induce immune reactions by binding covalently as haptens to a carrier protein, which is thereby modified and immunogenic. In addition, drugs bind to proteins via hydrogen bonds, electrostatic force, and van der Waals forces, and may directly interact with immune receptors such as T cell receptors or major histocompatibility complex molecules (pharmacologic in...
