1. Immunological factors in breast milk in relation to allergy in mother and child
Sammanfattning : Background: The allergy preventive effect of breast-feeding against the development of allergy is controversial and some of this controversy may be due to differences in the composition of breast milk between different mothers.Aim: To analyse IgA, cytokine and chemokines levels in human milk and relate the findings to matemal allergy and to development of atopic disease and IgA production in the infants, and furthermore, to assess the effects of breast milk on CBMC cytokine production.

2. Immune responses to lipopolysaccharide in relation to allergic disease : a TLR4 gene polymorphism and endotoxin exposure
Sammanfattning : Background: Allergic diseases have increased during the last decades, particularly in affluent countries, possibly due to a reduced and/or altered microbial exposure during infancy. Activation of the immune system by microbes early in life is probably required for accurate maturation of the immune system and tolerance development. LÄS MER
3. Environmental and immunological factors associated with allergic disease in children
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
4. Polyunsaturated fatty acids, maternal and infant immune responses and allergic disease in infancy
Sammanfattning : Background: The incidence of allergic diseases in industrialized countries has increased, and a relation between allergy and dietary fatty acids has been proposed. Modulation of the maternal immune function during pregnancy may have an impact on future clinical outcome in the child. LÄS MER
