The present studies have established conditions for the demonstration of cooperative interactions between specific T and B lymphocyte populations in the development of IgE antibody responses in vivo in mice. This has been accomplished by utilizing a system which permits the successful adoptive transfer to irradiated recipients of DNP-specific secondary IgE responses with spleen cells from suita...

Objective The study aim was to compare interictal encephalographic (EEG) functional network topology between people with well-controlled idiopathic generalized epilepsy (WC-IGE) and drug-resistant IGE (DR-IGE). Methods Nineteen participants WC-IGE, 18 DR-IGE, 20 controls underwent a resting state, 64-channel EEG. An artifact-free epoch bandpass filtered into the frequency range of high low exte...

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting approximately 25% of all people worldwide at some point during their lifetime. Although total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) and blood eosinophil levels are not elevated in patients with AD, they have been shown associated AD severity. This study aimed to investigate whether IgE correlate response phototherapy t...

cow's milk allergy (cma) is an immunological response to cow's milk proteins such as casein, α-lactalbumin and β lactoglobulin. the aim of this study was to determine the most common cow's milk allergenic proteins in patients with cma and identify the most effective proteins in different allergic symptoms. eighty seven patients (≤18 years) with allergy to cow’s milk from 2006 to 2013 entered th...

BACKGROUND Recent studies have confirmed the presence of viable Chlamydia in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid of pediatric patients with airway hyperresponsiveness. While specific IgG and IgM responses to C. pneumoniae are well described, the response and potential contribution of Ag-specific IgE are not known. The current study sought to determine if infection with Chlamydia triggers the...

Markedly elevated serum IgE levels have been noted following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and have been correlated with graft-v-host disease (GVHD) in several studies. To investigate this phenomenon, we measured serum IgE levels in 387 allogeneic, 143 autologous, and 21 syngeneic BMT recipients before and at intervals after BMT. As a population, allogeneic BMT recipients display...

Allergens are recognized as the proteins that induce immunoglobulin E (IgE) responses in humans. The proteins come from a range of sources and, not surprisingly, have many different biological functions. However, the delivery of allergens to the nose is exclusively on particles, which carry a range of molecules in addition to the protein allergens. These molecules include pathogen-associated mo...

Total serum IgE is associated with asthma independently of specific IgE levels. J. Sunyer, J.M. Antó, J. Castellsagué, J.B. Soriano, J. Roca, and the Spanish Group of the European Study of Asthma. ©ERS Journals Ltd 1996. ABSTRACT: In this study we aimed to assess whether the association between asthma (defined by symptoms and bronchial responsiveness) and total immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels was...
