The body creates antibodies specific type, called IgE, to bind the allergens.
Antibodies attached to the blood cells that is called mast cells. Mast cells can be found in the gut, respiratory tract, and other places. Presence of mast cells in the respiratory airways and digestive tract makes these areas more susceptible to allergens.
