Delayed hypersensitivity reactions occur independently of antibodies and involve activation of T cells. This type of reaction is characterized by a delayed onset (typically 24-48 hours after exposure) of symptoms such as redness, swelling, and itching. This type of reaction is often seen in response to contact with irritants or allergens such as poison ivy or nickel.
