1. 6. Cholera toxin B subunit as a carrier for inducing mucosal immunity and/or peripheral tolerance

   Författare :Carola Rask; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mucosal immunity; tolerance; atopic allergy; cholera toxin B subunit; antibody response; IgE;

   Sammanfattning : When an antigen is introduced via a mucosal route, either immunity or tolerance, or even both may be induced. Both immunity and tolerance are actively induced phenomena and both of them could have important medical implications as well as potential prophylactic or therapeutic applications. LÄS MER

3. 7. The rise and fall of IgE

   Författare :Molly Vernersson; Rikard Holmdahl; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; Immunoglobulin; IgE; evolution; atopic allergy; vaccine; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Molecular Immunology; molekylär immunologi;

   Sammanfattning : Immunoglobulin E (IgE) occurs exclusively in mammals and is one of five immunoglobulin (Ig) classes found in man. Unlike other isotypes, IgE is best known for its pathological effects, whereas its physiological role remains somewhat elusive. LÄS MER

4. 8. New aspects of tissue mast cells in inflammatory airway diseases

   Författare :Cecilia Andersson; Luftvägsinflammation; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Mast cell are found throughout the body, but are especially prominent in tissues that have direct contact with the external milieu such as the skin, gastrointestinal tract and lungs. Mast cells are commonly recognized for their detrimental role in allergic reactions and can, upon activation through the high-affinity receptor for IgE (FcεRI), rapidly produce and secrete many of the mediators responsible for the typical symptoms in urticaria, asthma and rhinitis.

5. 9. Studies of the prevalence of asthma and allergy i Costa Rican school children

   Författare :Manuel E. Soto-Quiros; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Asthma; rhinitis; eczema; children; prevalence; Costa Rica;

   Sammanfattning : Objectives The main aims of our study were: To determine the prevalence and severity of asthma, rhinitis, rhinoconjuntivitis and dermatitis in school children from Costa Rica (I, IV, V) to make international comparisons and to identify possible risk factors associated with these conditions (II, III).Methods Using nationally representative samples of 9931 school children from Costa Rica during the last 10 years (from 1989 to 1998) we have performed three studies.

7. 10. Environmental and immunological factors associated with allergic disease in children

   Författare :Sara Tomičić; Malin Fagerås Böttcher; Karin Fälth-Magnusson; Esbjörn Telemo; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Allergic diseases; dysregulated immune responses; IgG4; Immunobiology; Immunbiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Allergic diseases are characterised by dysregulated immune responses. The first manifestation of the atopic phenotype is often food allergy, with symptoms like eczema. Food allergy in children is generally outgrown before 3 years of age, but a temporary food elimination diet is often advocated. LÄS MER
