  1. 1. Effect of allergen specific immunotherapy on allergic inflammation in the upper and lower airways

    Författare :Monica Arvidsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; birch pollen allergy; cat allergy; specific immunotherapy; rush immunotherapy; experimental allergen challenge; late asthmatic response;

    Sammanfattning : Experimental allergen challenge is widely used in diagnostic practice and research in allergy, but its relationship to environmental exposures is not clarified. Both models of allergic diseases have been used in order to examine the effects of allergen specific immunotherapy (SIT). LÄS MER

  3. 2. Immunological mechanisms involved in seasonal pollen allergy and allergen-specific immunotherapy

    Författare :Robert Movérare; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Allergy; birch pollen; IFN-g; IgE; IgG; IgG4; IL-4; IL-5; IL-10; IL-13; immunotherapy; PBMC; rush immunotherapy; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Th1/Th2-like T-cell responses were studied by stimulating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with allergens or antigens followed by restimulation with mitogens to induce high cytokine synthesis. Allergen-stimulation in vitro induced Th2-skewed cytokine synthesis by PBMCs from birch-pollen-allergic patients. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Intralymphatic Immunotherapy : A Novel Route to Ameliorate Allergic Rhinitis Due to Pollen

    Författare :Lars Ahlbeck; Karel Duchén; Maria Jenmalm; Janne Björkander; Jon R. Konradsen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Allergy to pollen and animal dander is a major public health problem. Close to 30% of the population have symptoms from the upper and/or lower respiratory tract when they meet fur animals or pollen. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Novel allergen preparations for use in allergen-specific immunotherapy

    Författare :Theresa Neimert Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Allergy; allergen-specific immunotherapy; adjuvants; carbohydrate-based particles; allergic asthma; mouse models; hypoallergens;

    Sammanfattning : Allergy is a common disease in the industrialized countries, affecting approximately 25% of the population. Therefore, there is a need to find new treatment strategies to improve the quality of life for allergic individuals. Today the only treatment that gives long-lasting reduction of allergic symptoms is allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Antibody repertoires : Exploration of their role in allergic disease and facilitation of reliable analyses thereof

    Författare :Linnea Thörnqvist; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; allergen; allergic disease; antibody bioinformatics; antibody repertoire; B cells; epitope; immunogloblulin; immunogloblulin germline gene; IgE; specific immunotherapy; stereotyped antibody;

    Sammanfattning : Allergic disease affects millions of individuals worldwide and leads to both impaired life quality of the affected individuals and large economic costs for the society. Allergen-specific antibodies of IgE type act as one of the key players in the disease, by activating effector cells upon binding of its allergen. LÄS MER
