But the latest researches reveal that it is not merely heredity factors, environmental also have significant impact for someone to develop allergy.

Allergy trigger in the form of food allergen are mostly fallen to some certain foods like milk, egg, peanuts, fish, soya and nuts. We are curios on what is so peculiar about allergens in food? (more…)

It then try to recognize it and subsequently will proceed in the antibody production. There are five different types of antibody produced: IgA, IgG,IgM, IgE and IgD. Bellow we will discuss B Cells in antibody production process and three of the most prominent antibodies: IgA, IgM, and IgG.
