a perennial allergen, but may be increased in damp autumn months.
Perennial Rhinitis

: Respiratory allergy
of IgE which has blocking capacity inhibiting binding between allergen and IgE on mast cells and basophils.
Immune response to allergen
Immune response influenced by several factors
Genetic susceptibility
The nature of antigen which initiates the disease
Challenge with infections and bacteria
With complex stimulation, naive T-cells are activated by APC and differentiate into Th1, Th2, Th17, Th19
differentiated cells from an adult subject plant.
A callus is not necessarily genetically homogeneous because a callus is often made from structural tissue, not individual cells. Nevertheless, callus cells are often considered similar enough for standard scientific analysis to be performed as if on a single subject. For example, an experiment may have half a callus undergo a treatment as the ex
