  • Mast cells activate IgE → release of mediators (histamines, leukotrienes, and

prostaglandins)→ bronchospasms shortly after exposure. Resolves in 1-2

ho urs.

  • De la ye d re spo nse
  • Che mic a l me dia to rs a ttra c t immune syste m c e lls (e o sino phils, b a so phils, a nd

neutrophils) → infiltrate and cause release of additional inflammatory material → damage to smooth muscle cells causing further edema and
