Feedback:
Malignant blood diseases or chronic infection may be indicated in the overproduction of gamma globulins. In infectious diseases, the invading microorganisms are stronger than the immune system antibodies. In immunosuppression, the immune system function is depressed, perhaps because of disease, injury, shock radiation, or drugs. Anaphylaxis is a severe immune response to an invading antigen.
