Background Indoor allergen sensitization to cockroach (CR) is clinically relevant and exhibits substantial geographic heterogeneity. However, its relationship with pre‐existing atopy and allergic symptom burden in tropical urban environments remains uncertain considering the overwhelming influence of house dust mite (HDM) sensitization.

Notch signaling in T cells is essential for allergic airway inflammation, but expression of the Notch ligands Jagged 1 and Jagged 2 on dendritic cells is dispensable [PDF]
__Background:__ Allergic asthma is characterized by a TH2 response induced by dendritic cells (DCs) that present inhaled allergen. Although the mechanisms by which they instruct TH2 differentiation are still poorly understood, expression of the Notch ...

Specific suppression of antigen-antibody reactions by a dialysate from Dermatophagoides farinae.
Mite dialysate prepared from an extract of house dust mite, Dermatophagoides farinae, suppressed 48-h homologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) in rats caused by a non-dialyzable fraction of the mite extract (mite antigen), and the suppression was dose-dependent with a high specificity for the antigen.

Sensitization of Common Allergens and Cosensitization Patterns Among Children in Guangzhou, China
Background Pediatric allergic diseases vary by region. Subtropical sensitization profiles and their clinical implications remain poorly defined. Method In this retrospective study, specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) levels to eight common allergens were obtained from children assessed for allergy‐associated symptoms in our department between November 1 ...

Immune response to allergens in sheep sensitized to house dust mite [PDF]
BACKGROUND: House dust mite (HDM) allergens are a major cause of allergic asthma. Most studies using animal models of allergic asthma have used rodents sensitized with the 'un-natural' allergen ovalbumin. It has only recently been recognized that the use

Immune Polarization in Allergic Patients: Role of the Innate Immune System [PDF]
Allergens come into contact with the immune system as components of a very diverse mixture. The most common sources are pollen grains, food, and waste. These sources contain a variety of immunomodulatory components that play a key role in the induction ...
