Though not widely recognized, food hypersensitivity by inhalation can cause major morbidity in affected individuals. The exposure is usually more obvious and often substantial in occupational environments but frequently occurs in non-occupa...

Viruses are the predominant infectious cause of asthma exacerbations in the developed world. In addition, recent evidence strongly suggests that viral infections may also have a causal role in the development of childhood asthma. In this ar...
Should digestion assays be used to estimate persistence of potential allergens in tests for safety of novel food proteins? [0.03%]
消化试验能否用于估算新型食品蛋白过敏性试验中潜在过敏原的持久性?

Food allergies affect an estimated 3 to 4% of adults and up to 8% of children in developed western countries. Results from in vitro simulated gastric digestion studies with purified proteins are routinely used to assess the allergenic poten...

Background: A modest number of prospective studies of the composition of the intestinal microbiota and eczema in early life have yielded conflicting results. ...
CpG Immunotherapy in Chenopodium album sensitized mice: The comparison of IFN-gamma, IL-10 and IgE responses in intranasal and subcutaneous administrations [0.03%]
CpG免疫疗法在 Chenopodium album 感染小鼠中的作用:与鼻内和皮下给药的IFN-γ、IL-10 和IgE反应的比较
Tahereh Mousavi,Nader Tajik,Maziar Moradi et al.
Tahereh Mousavi et al.
Background: Mucosal-based immunotherapy has been already used as an alternative form of allergen delivery. In asthma, the poor success rate of immune modulation could be a consequence of inadequate immune modulation in th...
Three dimensional structure directs T-cell epitope dominance associated with allergy [0.03%]
三维结构决定了与过敏相关的T细胞表位优势效应

Scott J Melton
Background: CD4+ T-cell epitope immunodominance is not adequately explained by peptide selectivity in class II major histocompatibility proteins, but it has been correlated with adjacent segments of conformational flexibi...
