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...

Anaphylaxis syndromes related to a new mammalian cross-reactive carbohydrate determinant.

29 Sep 2009 Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can rapidly progress and occasionally be fatal. In instances in which the triggering allergen is not obvious, establishing the cause of anaphylaxis is pivotal to long-term management. Assigning cause is ... 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...
