Abstract
A complex interplay of inflammatory cells and chemical mediators is responsible for allergic inflammation. It is now understood that the allergic reaction consists of an early-phase response involving mast cell degranulation with the release of histamine and a late-phase response characterized by the migration of inflammatory cells. This review provides a summary of the early- and late-phase events associated with allergic inflammation and an overview of the principal chemical mediators involved in the inflammatory process.Entities:
