Solving the puzzle "fatal shock" can paralyze the body in minutes

The researchers say they have discovered how an allergic shock can cause the body to collapse in minutes.

The researchers found that exposure of mice to small amounts of allergens stimulated collaboration between different immune cells.

The team at Duke University explained that this triggers a life-threatening allergic reaction.

In the new study, researchers analyzed cells under the microscope and found practical details about allergens, which interact with others to stimulate histamine release.

The researchers suppressed different immune cells in the mice before injecting them with hypersensitive toxins.

After analyzing the mice after half an hour, they found that the mast cells, which release histamine, did not pick up the allergens alone.

However, when the researchers reduced the number of dendritic cells in the mouse component of the immune system, they did not suffer from allergies, even exposed to stimuli.

When studying dendritic cells under the microscope, we find that they consist of long branches that penetrate into other cells when looking for allergens.

When these cells recognize an allergen, small bubbles containing information are sent to the surrounding mast cells.

This method publishes information on gaseous allergens from surrounding mast cells, which then begin to delay sensitivity by filling the bloodstream with histamine.

But studies must first determine if the process itself occurs in humans and see how useful the cells are.

The study was published in the journal Science.

The allergic reaction occurs when the body mistakenly identifies a harmless substance, such as nuts and oysters, as a dangerous toxic substance.

Therefore, an immune response is released against allergens, which can cause sneezing and itching in the eyes.

In rare and severe cases, an allergic reaction can lead to hypersensitivity, which can lead to swelling of the throat, difficulty breathing and even loss of consciousness.

Currently, patients with potentially serious allergies are often treated with epinephrine injection.
