(Gell and Coombs classification) : Type I reactions are initiated by antigens reacting with cell-bound antibody, usually IgE. Release of mediators, mainly from basophils and mast cells, provide the pathogenic mechanism. 1, record 1, English, - type%20I%20hypersensitivity%20reaction

Réaction d'immunité humorale. La combinaison antigène-anticorps provoque la libération par les cellules basophiles ou les mastocytes d'histamine et de substances vaso-actives. Les anticorps sont des IgE. La réaction est précoce. En clinique, l'asthme franc, la pollinose, le choc anaphylactique, certaines urticaires sont dues à la réaction de type I. 1, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9action%20immunitaire%20de%20type%20I

A rapidly occurring (within 30 min) antibody-mediated reaction arising from the release of histamine and other vasoactive substances. The antibody (an immunoglobulin, usually of IgE type) fixes to cells, especially mast cells. On contact with antigen, the cell is disrupted and vasoactive substances are released and produce anaphylaxis. 2, record 2, English, - immediate%20hypersensitivity%20reaction
