The basophil activation test in immediate-type drug allergy.

30 Jul 2009 Diagnosis of drug allergy involves first the recognition of sometimes unusual symptoms as drug allergy and, second, the identification of the eliciting drug. This is an often difficult task, as the clinical picture and underlying pathomechanisms are ... Read more...

STAT1 negatively regulates lung basophil IL-4 expression induced by respiratory syncytial virus infection.

6 Jul 2009 IL-4 contributes to immunopathology induced in mice by primary respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. However, the cellular source of IL-4 in RSV infection is unknown. We identified CD3(-)CD49b(+) cells as the predominant source of IL-4 in the ... Read more...

Italian position paper on urticaria. Italian Board on Urticaria.

30 May 2009 The Italian Board on Urticaria has prepared a document focusing on the definition and classification of urticaria, taking into account the recent progress in identifying the causes, eliciting factors, and pathomechanisms of this disease. As ... Read more...
