Noncovalent drug presentation leads to the activation of drug-specific T cells. In some patients with hypersensitivity, such a response occurs within hours even upon the first exposure to the drug. Thus, the reaction to the drug might not be due to a classical, primary response, but rather mediated by existing, preactivated T cells that are cross specific for the drug, and have an additional (peptide) specificity as well.
非共价药物呈递可导致药物特异性T细胞的激活。在一些过敏患者中,即使首次接触药物,这种反应也会在数小时内发生。因此,对药物的反应可能不是由于经典的初次反应,而是由对该药物具有交叉特异性且还具有额外(肽)特异性的现有预激活T细胞介导的。
