A type of hypersensitivity that (in contrast to immediate hypersensitivity) takes 24 to 72 hours to develop and is mediated by T lymphocytes rather than by antibodies. 1, record 1, English, - delayed%20hypersensitivity
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Delayed hypersensitivity is a term used to denote the subset of type IV hypersensitivity involving cytokine release and macrophage activation, as opposed to direct cytolysis but can be used more broadly, even sometimes being used synonymously with type IV hypersensitivity. 1, record 1, English, - delayed%20hypersensitivity

Allergic reactions are cued by the overzealous response of the body's primordial defense against invasion, the inflammatory reaction. When a person is exposed to an allergen, be it dust, pollen or a particular food, the bloodstream sends a crowd of circulating white blood cells to the site of contact. 1, record 2, English, - overzealous%20response

On initial contact with antigen, the T cell undergoes clonal proliferation and differentiates into sensitized lymphocytes or committed T cells with various functions. Some cells become activated and are responsible for mediating cellular immunity or resulting in injury to host tissue (hypersensitivity reactions). Others become T memory cells, thereby increasing the number of cells with the ability to react to specific antigen. Still others become helper or suppressor cells, regulating B cell production of antibody ... 1, record 4, English, - activated

Lors du contact antigénique initial, la cellule T subit une prolifération clonale et se différencie en lymphocytes sensibilisés ou cellules T compétentes douées de fonctions diverses. Certaines cellules deviennent activées et sont responsables de la médiation de l'immunité cellulaire ou entraînent des lésions des tissus de l'hôte(réaction d’hypersensibilité). D'autres deviennent des cellules helper ou des cellules suppressives, régulant la production d’anticorps par les cellules B(...) 1, record 4, French, - activ%C3%A9
