The adaptive immune response is a critical component of host defense against infection and is essential for normal health. Antigens not associated with infectious agents sometimes elicit adaptive immune responses, and this can cause disease. One circumstance in which this happens is when harmful immunologically mediated hypersensitivity reactions known generally as allergic reactions occur in response to inherently harmless ‘environmental’ antigens such as pollen, food, and drugs.
