Relationship between myopia and allergen-specific serum IgE levels in patients with allergic conjunctivitis.

30 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: Various exogenous allergens can cause allergic conjunctivitis, whereas refractive errors are also related (as an endogenous factor) to the pathogenesis of allergic conjunctivitis. However, little is known about the interaction between ... Read more...

Critical role of IgE-dependent mast cell activation in a murine model of allergic conjunctivitis.

3 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Allergic conjunctivitis is characterized by allergen-specific IgE in the serum and infiltration of eosinophils into the conjunctiva. The role of IgE and mast cells in allergic conjunctivitis is largely unknown, however. OBJECTIVES: We ... Read more...

Cyclosporine A eye drops inhibit the early-phase reaction in a type-I allergic conjunctivitis model in mice.

30 Jul 2009 PURPOSE: The effects of cyclosporine A eye drops on the early-phase reaction were investigated in a type-I allergic conjunctivitis model. METHODS: Mice were actively sensitized with ragweed (RW) absorbed on aluminium hydroxide gel and challenged ... Read more...
