Saturday, January 10, 2009
Definition of 'Hypersensitivity, Immediate'Hypersensitivity reactions which occur within minutes of exposure to challenging antigen due to the release of histamine which follows the antigen-antibody reaction and causes smooth muscle contraction and increased vascular permeability. Common names: Hypersensitivity, Immediate; Hypersensitivities, Immediate; Immediate Hypersensitivities; Immediate Hypersensitivity; Hypersensitivity, Atopic; IgE-Mediated Hypersensitivity; Hypersensitivities, IgE-Mediated; Hypersensitivity, IgE-Mediated; IgE Mediated Hypersensitivity |
New developments in mast cell biology.
30 Oct 2008
Mast cells can function as effector and immunoregulatory cells in immunoglobulin E-associated allergic disorders, as well as in certain innate and adaptive immune responses. This review focuses on exciting new developments in the field of mast cell ... Read more...
13 Oct 2008
Geohelminth infections are associated with modulation of immunity to parasite antigens and aeroallergens. To investigate the possibility that this modulation is affected by anthelmintic treatment, we compared cytokine responses in children who were ... Read more...
Late-phase reaction in ocular allergy.
29 Sep 2008
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To determine if the late-phase reaction, which commonly occurs in allergic rhinitis and asthma, is also found in ocular allergy. RECENT FINDINGS: Using PubMed, 542 articles were found; 18 articles in the allergy and ophthalmology ... Read more...
