Relating to or causing a reaction opposite to an expected allergy or hypersensitivity.
From Greek 'anti-' (against) + 'ergon' (work or action). This medical term describes a response that counters typical allergic reactions.
The body's immune system is so complex that sometimes it shows 'antergic' responses—where repeated exposure to an allergen actually reduces the reaction instead of intensifying it, which is the basis for allergy immunotherapy.
