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...

Repeated treatments with albendazole enhance Th2 responses to Ascaris Lumbricoides, but not to aeroallergens, in children from rural communities in the Tropics.

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...

Technical information about 'Hypersensitivity, Immediate'

Definition: 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.
