In the scientific aspects of immunology, the pace of advance has
been almost overwhelming, but with some notable exceptions,
clinical benefits have been slow. For those who are interested in
allergy, the situation has been somewhat different. Here, the
scientific aspects have lagged sadly behind other branches of
immunology. There has, however, been a recent explosion of
knowledge, which began with the discovery of immunoglobulin E, and
a curious situation has come to light. The speculations of the
older allergists, which had often been derided as mere inventions,
now appear to be largely true. A number of 'preposterous'
hypotheses have acquired the respectability that comes with
scientific proof and the entire field is now full of excitement and
challenge. It is no longer doubted that 'reaginic' antibody can
sensitize cells that reside beneath the surface of the skin or
mucous membranes. Skin prick tests with 'hair of the tail of the
dog' have been legitimized by correlating them with the carefully
validated results of radioallergosorbent tests. It has furthermore
been shown beyond doubt that immunotherapy with increasing amounts
of bee venom really can 'hyposensitize' patients who have
previously suffered anaphylactic reactions to bee stings. This book
has been published in the hope that, in the field of allergy, it
will bridge the gap between basic science and the clinical
application.
