Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Atopic individuals tend to produce higher quantities of IgE and have more Fc receptors for IgE on their mast cells. Atopic individuals tend to produce more, not less, IgE. Manifestations these individuals display are influenced greatly by the release of histamine from mast cells, which are found in large numbers in the affected tissue. An IgM response is a mainstay of type II responses.
