scientists have discovered produced naturally by the that suppress the key Initiator of allergic at Iricks in susceptible the discoveries raise Hopes for developing an entirely new Means of preventing allergies by halting the process at its source within the in Laboratory and probably also in the substances act by suppressing production of a special Type of antibody called  usually abbreviated As antibodies Are Best known As protectors against but antibodies of this Type arc known to Start the series of chemical events within the body that produces symptoms of these symptoms include Runny eyes and noses and sometimes much More Seri Ous some of such As Hanaphy lactic May threaten one such which has been named suppressive Factor of was discovered a few years ago by a research team led by David Katz of Scripps clinic and research foundation in la another was discovered More recently by Kim Ishige Ishizaka and colleagues at Johns Hopkins University in both substances were found in animal the substances Are produced by so called t an important component of the immune recent studies have demonstrated the production of comparable substances by human t the scientists said the discovered independently by each were apparently related but not both teams have also found companion substances that have the opposite effect they stimulate production of the Ige the evidence suggests that All of the related substances represent a natural control system for regulating the body production of which is probably the most Complex antibody system within the Ishizaka discoveries have been labelled Ige binding factors because they were found to bind both to the antibody and to the cells that produce whats important is that we have identified in these two different laboratories molecules which exert these very Clear and very potent effects on this antibody Katz natural internal defenders against Are produced by the body immunological defense system to couple with and remove from circulation anything the body recognizes As antibodies of classes called egg and Iga All have various complementary roles in defending against such things As invading viruses and there is evidence that Ige antibodies have a similar defensive role against parasite experiments in a Shiakas for sex have shown a Hundredfold Rise in Ige after an animal has been infected with a Dis ease causing this class of antibody has become Best known to american scientists As the key agents in who with his Teruko Ishi discovered the Ige class of antibodies you Tome up More for my brigade kadi6m and their role in allergy about 15 years said that the antibodies act by coupling with an allergy inciting foreign substance and simultaneously with cells within the body called Mast these Mast cells Are then triggered to release histamine and other chemicals that pro Duce the symptoms of allergic he because the Ige antibodies can Call out chemical so to from the Mast their effects in the body Are Magni this potential for Katz probably requires a Complex control sys tem such As that embodied by the substances that he and Ishizaka which tend to in crease or decrease the production of conventional allergy treatment is focused on attempts to make the body immunological defense system less reactive to the foreign Al Lerg producing substance that is causing the patients Success has been variable and not always the existence of substances that act As controls Over Ige production suggests a much More specific and potentially More effective treatment either using an Ige sup pressing substance directly As an anti allergy drug or learning How to control the production and activity of the suppressive substances both Ishizaka and Katz said they considered manipulation of the natural suppressor sub stances in the body to be potentially the most effective discovery of the suppressive and Potentiating substances has revealed previously unknown details of the internal regulation of this class of in a recent review Katz said there was reason for optimism that in the relatively near future scientists would learn How to manipulate the immune system in and the Ige

emergency this May be difficult to believe but it is Why should a physician jump up to help when his knowledge in that area May be inadequate the Cost of failure could be mighty the fear of a Law suit these Days is sufficient reason for any doctor to hide his head in a Magazine or feign the Public and the courts Are largely to blame for the eagerness with which people sue anybody for anything is a some recent malpractice settlements have been downright the Cost of Mal practice insurance is staggering ask any doctor and this is one of the reasons the Cost of medical care has risen i am not
