General Microbiologythe Prausnitz and Kustner experiment demonstrated Transfer of serum containing allergen-specific IgE from an allergic person to a non-allergic person induces an allergic reaction. This experiment showed that the allergic state is mediated by a serum component, which we now know is the immunoglobulin E (IgE), and that it can be passively transferred from one individual to another.

Corticosteroids are generally considered pregnancy category C drugs, meaning animal studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus, but there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans. Amoxicillin and erythromycin are typically category B, and lignocaine (lidocaine) is also category B.

Physiology
The stomach protects itself from the harsh acidic environment and its own digestive enzymes through the secretion of a thick layer of mucus by mucosal cells. This mucus barrier forms a physical and chemical barrier that shields the underlying tissue from the acid and pepsin. Additionally, the stomach lining has a high turnover rate and is continuously regenerated, and the enzymes in the gastric juice are inactive until they come into contact with food.
