  1. 16. Influence of maternal allergy on the intra uterine environment and on immune functions of the neonate

    Författare :Ulrika Holmlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Allergy; CD14; cord blood; cytokines; human placenta; IgE; Toll-like receptors;

    Sammanfattning : The prevalence of IgE mediated allergic diseases has drastically increased during the past few decades and there is no satisfactory explanation. A family history of allergic disease is clearly a strong risk factor, bin in view of the rapidity of the increase in allergy prevalence environmental factors are likely to have played a crucial role.

  3. 17. Immunological mechanisms in atopic dermatitis : clinical and experimental studies

    Författare :Maria Tengvall Linder; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :atopic dermatitis; Cyclosporin A; cytokines; eosinophils; lgE; lgE receptors; Pityrosporum orbiculare; patch test; skin biopsy specimens; T cells;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the study was to investigate immunological mechanisms in atopic dermatitis. Serum IgE levels are elevated in 80% of atopic dermatitis patients and CD4+ T cells and environmental allergens are known to be of importance in the pathogenesis of the disease. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Prostaglandin E2 as mediator and modulator of airway smooth muscle responses

    Författare :Jesper Säfholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a lipid mediator produced by virtually every cell of the human body. Because common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit its biosynthesis, PGE2 is usually considered to be a ‘pro-inflammatory’ mediator. The role of PGE2 in the lung and airways has however always been unclear. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Novel potential targets for treatment of airway inflammation

    Författare :Terese Hylander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Allergy is a complex biological response mediated by several different cell types including B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes and eosinophils. From clinical observations it is well-known that microbial infections, in particular viruses, can cause exacerbation of allergic rhinitis and asthma. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Microbial and maternal influences on allergic sensitization during childhood: defining a role for monocytes

    Författare :Shanie Saghafian Hedengren; Eva Sverremark-Ekström; Susan Prescott; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Monocytes; allergic sensitization; maternal allergy; Toll-like receptor; p38-MAPK; IL-6; Epstein-Barr virus; early-life microbial exposure; NK cells; IFN-γ; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Allergic diseases are influenced by genetics and the environment. Maternal allergy appears to confer a higher risk for allergic sensitization than paternal allergy, suggesting an in utero influence. LÄS MER
