What is atopy?
An inherited predisposition to develop IgE-mediated hypersensitivity to common environmental antigens.
Can be modified by environmental factor

What occurs during the effector phase of Type I hypersensitivity?
Re-exposure to allergen causes IgE cross-linking on mast cells, leading to degranulation and mediator synthesis.

Define Type I hypersensitivity reactions.
Immediate hypersensitivity due to mast cell/basophil activation via IgE cross-linking.

What occurs during the immediate reaction of Type I hypersensitivity?

What is involved in the late-phase reaction of Type I hypersensitivity?
Mast cells and Th2 cells release cytokines & chemokines, recruiting eosinophils and leukocytes.
