Artwork of mast cells in an allergic response
Allergic response. Artwork showing mast cells during an allergic response. Allergens (green structures) from foreign bodies have bound to antibodies (yellow, Y-shaped) on the surface of these white blood cells. This has triggered the release of histamine (tiny red spheres) from the cells storage granules (purple spheres). An allergic reaction occurs when susceptible peoples immune systems become sensitised to a harmless foreign substance. The first exposure to the substance leads to the production of its antibody. Further exposure will then cause an allergic reaction, with histamine release resulting in rash and inflammation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the intricate process of mast cells in an allergic response. The image showcases the moment allergens, represented by green structures, bind to antibodies on the surface of white blood cells known as mast cells. This interaction triggers a cascade of events, leading to the release of histamine from storage granules within these cells. Histamine, depicted as tiny red spheres, plays a crucial role in initiating an allergic reaction. As susceptible individuals are exposed to harmless foreign substances for the first time, their immune systems produce specific antibodies against them. Subsequent encounters with these substances can then result in an allergic response characterized by rash and inflammation due to histamine release. The artwork not only highlights the complexity of this immune response but also emphasizes how allergies can arise when our bodies become sensitized to otherwise innocuous elements. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly harmless substances can provoke powerful reactions within certain individuals. As both a medical and artistic creation, this print offers insight into the fascinating world of immunology while showcasing its beauty through vibrant colors and detailed illustrations. It is a testament to Science Photo Library's commitment to providing visually stunning representations that merge science and art seamlessly together.
