What is the immune system's response to allergens?

Allergy FAQ - Guide to Allergies, their causes and treatment...
allergen is any substance that you are allergic to, let's say ragweed pollen for example. If your immune system decides an allergen is a threat, it activates your immune response: First, cells called T-cells are sent to identify the allergen (also called antigen). Then, T-cells instruct another kind of cells called B-cells to start producing a compound called ImmunoglobulinE (IgE) antibodies. These IgE antibodies are specific to this particular allergen (ragweed pollen in this case).
