Induction of long-lived allergen-specific plasma cells by mucosal allergen challenge.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Allergen-specific IgE antibodies are responsible for the pathogenesis of type I hypersensitivity. In patients with allergy, IgE titers can persist in the apparent absence of allergen for years. Seasonal allergen exposure triggers ... Read more...

Mechanisms of mast cell signaling in anaphylaxis.

29 Sep 2009 The recent development of a consensus definition and proposed diagnostic criteria for anaphylaxis offers promise for research efforts and a better understanding of the epidemiology and pathogenesis of this enigmatic and life-threatening disease. ... Read more...

Anaphylaxis: Recent advances in assessment and treatment.

29 Sep 2009 The incidence rate of anaphylaxis is increasing, particularly during the first 2 decades of life. Common triggers include foods, medications, and insect stings. Clinical diagnosis is based on a meticulous history of an exposure or event preceding ... Read more...
