Vaccines are controlled inoculations
fragments of infectious agents of
inactive infectious agents induce the
primary immune , the
formation of specific B
lymphocytes against the .
Therefore the organism produces

some common environmental

IgE antibodies that cause
bind to receptors of called
mastocytes whose cytoplasmis of
histamine granules. The
mastocyte bond causes these to
release a great of histamine in

Exacerbated reactions, for
