Atopic Features and Inflammatory Markers Across Cassano-Graded Adenoid Hypertrophy [PDF]

Children
Background: Evidence linking adenoid hypertrophy (AH) and atopy is conflicting. We examined whether Cassano-graded AH severity is more closely associated with inflammatory markers than with IgE-mediated sensitization. Methods: We retrospectively included

The protective role of conjunctival goblet cell mucin sialylation

Nature Communications, 2023
Conjunctival goblet cells secrete mucins that are heavily glycosylated. Here, the authors show that sialylation of mucins is essential for capturing and encapsulates allergen particles and thus reduces the risk for developing allergic conjunctivitis.

Development of mouse model for oral allergy syndrome to identify IgE cross-reactive pollen and food allergens: ragweed pollen cross-reacts with fennel and black pepper

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Oral allergy syndrome (OAS) is an IgE-mediated immediate food allergy that is localized to the oral mucosa. Pollen food allergy syndrome (PFAS), a pollinosis-associated OAS, is caused by cross-reactivity between food and pollen allergens.

Murine model identifies tropomyosin as IgE cross-reactive protein between house dust mite and coho salmon that possibly contributes to the development of salmon allergy

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
BackgroundRecently, we have developed a method to identify IgE cross-reactive allergens. However, the mechanism by which IgE cross-reactive allergens cause food allergy is not yet fully understood how. In this study, we aimed to understand the underlying

Staphylococcus aureus δ-toxin present on skin promotes the development of food allergy in a murine model

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
BackgroundPatients with food allergy often suffer from atopic dermatitis, in which Staphylococcus aureus colonization is frequently observed. Staphylococcus aureus δ-toxin activates mast cells and promotes T helper 2 type skin inflammation in the tape ...

Epicutaneous Administration of Papain Induces IgE and IgG Responses in a Cysteine Protease Activity-Dependent Manner

Allergology International, 2014
Background: Epicutaneous sensitization to allergens is important in the pathogenesis of not only skin inflammation such as atopic dermatitis but also "atopic march" in allergic diseases such as asthma and food allergies.
