Antigen presentation in allergic sensitization

Immunology & Cell Biology, 1996
SummaryIgE antibodies, when cross‐linked by allergen on the surface of effector cells such as mast cells and basophils, are known to be directly responsible for immediate type hypersensitivity reactions. In addition, IgE may be involved in other, indirect, mechanisms, fundamental to the pathogenesis of allergic diseases, such as enhancement of the ...

Pets and the development of allergic sensitization

Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2005
Sensitization to pets remains a risk factor for asthma and rhinitis, and can occur in people who have never lived with a pet. Several reports have indicated that living with a pet reduces the risk for becoming sensitized to that pet. Having a pet in the home gives exposure to more than just allergens.

Anti‐IgE in allergic sensitization

Immunology & Cell Biology, 1996
SummaryAnti‐IgE autoantibodies exist predominantly in the sera of patients with atopic disease. For some time such anti‐IgE autoantibodies have been considered a phenomenon that may not be of clinical importance. The cloning of such anti‐IgE autoantibodies has eliminated doubts of whether these antibodies exist, but it is still unclear whether such ...

Allergic contact sensitization to iron

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1973
Abstract A case is reported of allergic contact dermatitis due to iron in a toolmaker. This is only the second case of iron contact allergy published in the literature. The possible reasons for the rarity of contact allergy due to iron are considered, among them the development of tolerance due to exposure to iron-containing compounds during fetal ...

Tobacco Sensitivity in the Allergic Population A Specific Allergic Entity

Journal of Asthma Research, 1974
Tobacco sensitivity is seen in atopic patients who are non-smokers but who have clinical symptoms on exposure to tobacco smoke. It is estimated that 8,000,000 people with common allergies are also clinically sensitive to tobacco. Females outnumber males by about 4:1, and children are affected as well as adults. The specificity of tobacco sensitivity in
