Asthma and Allergic Inflammation
Studies of the initiation and maintenance of asthma and allergic inflammation implicate dysregulated interactions between mucosal epithelia and innate immune cells as the underlying cause of these disorders. The similarities of these responses with mucosal responses to parasitic intestinal worms may reveal pathways relevant to the perplexing rise of these chronic inflammatory disorders.
متن کاملAllergic Inflammation
The fine structure of collagen fibrils at sites of antigen-antibody interaction is described. Following injection of antigen (BSA or ferritin) into the center of the cornea of hyperimmune rabbits, an acidophilic ring of precipitate forms at the periphery of the cornea, where antigen and antibody interact in optimal proportions. The precipitate is soon removed by infiltrating polymorphs, but per...
متن کاملSurfactant and allergic airway inflammation.
Pulmonary surfactant is a complex mixture of unique proteins and lipids that covers the airway lumen. Surfactant prevents alveolar collapse and maintains airway patency by reducing surface tension at the air-liquid interface. Furthermore, it provides a defence against antigen uptake by binding foreign particles and enhancing cellular immune responses. Allergic asthma is associated with chronic ...
متن کاملRhinoviruses, allergic inflammation, and asthma.
Viral infections affect wheezing and asthma in children and adults of all ages. In infancy, wheezing illnesses are usually viral in origin, and children with more severe wheezing episodes are more likely to develop recurrent episodes of asthma and to develop asthma later in childhood. Children who develop allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (allergic sensitization) and those who wheeze with huma...
متن کاملIs atherosclerosis an allergic disease?
A new report in the Journal of Clinical Investigation adds to the ever-increasing evidence that immunological mechanisms play an important role in atherogenesis. These new observations suggest involvement of IgE and its Fc R1 receptor in the promotion of atherosclerosis, and specifically in plaque instability and clinical events. Evidence continues to accumulate supporting an important role for...
