Immunoreactivity profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with ragweed‐induced allergic rhinitis

Background Seasonal rhinitis is manifested by a series of nasal symptoms in response to exposure to seasonal allergens including ragweed pollen. Understanding its immunological mechanisms may help to better manage the disease.
