Shuang-Huang-Lian injection induces an immediate hypersensitivity reaction via C5a but not IgE

Abstract Among traditional Chinese medicine injections, intravenous Shuang-Huang-Lian (IV-SHL) has the highest incidence of injection-induced immediate hypersensitivity reactions (IHRs). The precise mechanisms of IV-SHL-induced IHRs remain ambiguous. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms of...
