Role for Complement C5 in Eosinophilic Inflammation of Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Complement activation module, particularly C5, is positively associated with eosinophilic inflammation in severe asthma cohorts. Elevated C5 expression correlates with poor lung function improvement and persistent eosinophilic inflammation. Mouse model studies confirm that C5 exacerbates eosinophilic inflammation, highlighting its potential as a ...

Allosteric inhibition of IgE–FcεRI interactions by simultaneous targeting of IgE F(ab’)2 epitopes

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays pivotal roles in allergic diseases through interaction with a high-affinity receptor (FcεRI). We established that Fab fragments of anti-IgE antibodies (HMK-12 Fab) rapidly dissociate preformed IgE-FcεRI complexes in a ...

Bronchial responsiveness is related to increased exhaled NO (FE(NO)) in non-smokers and decreased FE(NO) in smokers.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
RationaleBoth atopy and smoking are known to be associated with increased bronchial responsiveness. Fraction of nitric oxide (NO) in the exhaled air (FE(NO)), a marker of airways inflammation, is decreased by smoking and increased by atopy. NO has also a

Maternal Geohelminth Infections Are Associated with an Increased Susceptibility to Geohelminth Infection in Children: A Case-Control Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: Children of mothers infected with soil-transmitted helminths (STH) may have an increased susceptibility to STH infection. Methods and Findings: We did a case-control study nested in a birth cohort in Ecuador.

Atopy and work.

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 1984
Atopy denotes the exceptional capacity to produce immunoglobulin (Ig)E antibody when exposed to common environmental allergens. The characteristic is frequently used for preemployment screening purposes. Too little attention has, however, been paid to the rationale and the consequences of this practice.

High‐Dimensional Analysis of Type 2 Lymphocyte Dynamics During Mepolizumab or Dupilumab Treatment in Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
We profiled PBMCs in severe asthma patients at baseline and after initiating treatment with mepolizumab or dupilumab. Mepolizumab treatment increases ILC2, Th2, and Tc2 cell frequencies, skewing ILC2 towards CD117low and Th2/Tc2 cells towards a central memory phenotype.

Effects of atopy and rhinitis on exhaled nitric oxide values - a systematic review

open access: yesClinical and Translational Allergy, 2011
Background Atopy and rhinitis are among the factors affecting exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) values and may contribute to difficulties in the clinical interpretation of FeNO measurements.

Tailored interventions based on exhaled nitric oxide versus clinical symptoms for asthma in children and adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
BackgroundThe measurement of severity and control of asthma in both children and adults can be based on subjective or objective measures. It has been advocated that fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) can be used to monitor airway inflammation as it ...
