Inappropriate or excessive immune responses to antigens are?
There are four different types of hypersensitivities. Type I Hypersensitivities are mostly allergies and they are exaggerated, misdirected expression of immune responses to an allergen (antigen). The severity of allergies can range from atopy (local allergy such as hay fever or asthma) or anaphylaxis (a violent and potentially fatal reaction that leads to narrowing of the bronchial airways). Foods, drugs, pollen and bee stings can trigger these reactions and this kind of sensitivity can be transferable to normal people through serum antibody.
