Question

Allergy shots work by shifting antibody responses to produce ________ antibodies.

Answer 1

Answer:

Allergy shots shift the antibody responses to produce the IgG antibodies.

Explanation:

An allergy is the hypersensitivity of an individual's immune system to the common harmless substances present naturally in the environment.

Allergen immunotherapy is a type of immunotherapy used in the treatment of environmental allergies. This therapy includes the use of allergy shots to induce tolerance to the allergen. This treatment involves exposing the individual to escalating doses of allergens by injecting allergy shots, which reduces the tendency of the immune response to produce IgE antibodies. Thus, inducing tolerance to the allergen.

Therefore, the allergy shots shift the antibody responses to produce the IgG antibodies.
