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...

The role of interleukin-33 in chronic allergic conjunctivitis.

18 May 2009 PURPOSE: The authors discovered a genetic association between the ST2L gene and atopy. The ST2L gene encodes a membrane-bound functional marker for Th2 cells. Recently, a novel Th2 cytokine, interleukin-33 (IL-33), was discovered to be a specific ... Read more...

Evaluation of eotaxin-1, -2, and -3 protein production and messenger RNA expression in patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis.

29 Mar 2009 PURPOSE: To evaluate the in vivo expression of members of the eotaxin subfamily, eotaxin-1, -2, and -3, at the ocular surface, we analyzed the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of the eotaxin subfamily in conjunctival epithelium and the protein ... Read more...
