  1. 11. Intralymphatic immunotherapy in allergic rhinitis : evaluating safety, efficacy and mechanisms

    Författare :Laila Hellkvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Allergic rhinitis (AR) deprives work capacity, social activities and quality of life, and costs the Swedish society about €1.3 billion annually. Allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) amends the symptoms and improves the course of the disease. The symptom ameliorating effects last several years after the discontinuation of treatment. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Role of Toll-like receptors in airway inflammation

    Författare :Anne Månsson; Klinisk och experimentell allergiforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; lymphocytes; peripheral blood; allergic rhinitis; tonsils; eosinophils; specific allergen immunotherapy;

    Sammanfattning : Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are germline-encoded pathogen-recognition receptors that detect different microbial structures and activate the immune system. The human TLR family presently comprises ten members (TLR1-TLR10), each with distinct properties. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Diagnosis of IgE-mediated allergy : new approaches using recombinant allergens

    Författare :Hans Grönlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Allergens; allergy; cat; diagnostics; immunotherapy; recombinant allergens;

    Sammanfattning : More than 10% of the population in industrialized countries suffer from lgE-mediated cat allergy. Allergens produced by recombinant techniques offer new possibilites to diagnose and treat allergic patients but will also help to uncover the mechanisms behind the sensitisation. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Novel treatment strategies and regulation of IgE-mediated allergic disease

    Författare :Sarah Thunberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Allergic symptoms such as rhinoconjunctivitis, asthma or gastrointestinal symptoms, triggered by inhaled or ingested allergens cross-linking allergen-specific IgE on mast cells or basophils, are defined as IgE-mediated allergy. The major allergens from birch pollen (Bet v 1) and cat dander (Fel d 1) are two common allergens eliciting allergic disease. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Recombinant cat and mite allergens as tools in the study of diagnosis and treatment of allergy

    Författare :Tiiu Saarne; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Allergic diseases, such as allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic eczema, are a major health problem world-wide, affecting up to 30% of the population. A large proportion of the patients are allergic to indoor allergens, such as mite and cat allergens, which are airborne and thus cause symptoms in the airways upon inhalation. LÄS MER
