Immunologically mediated behavioral reactions to foods
1986
Crayton, J.W.
Several models are outlined for understanding how dietary-induced behavioral reactions may be mediated by an immunological mechanism. Specific attention is given to: immediate hypersensitivity reactions to foods; cytotoxic reactions; immune complex-mediated reactions to foods; cell-mediated immune reactions; intestinal absorption of antigenic food substances; and the mediation of hypersensitivity reactions by neurotransmitter systems (e.g., catecholamine and cholinergic substances). Data on immune complex levels for symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects are contrasted, and data on immune complement activation following the ingestion of specific foods (e.g., milk, wheat) are summarized. Future research needs are identified.(wz)
