Exhaled nitric oxide is related to atopy, but not asthma in adolescents with bronchiolitis in infancy [PDF]

, 2013
Background: The fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) has been suggested as a non-invasive marker of eosinophilic inflammation in asthma, but lately rather as a biomarker of atopy than of asthma itself.

Respiratory syncytial virus infection and bronchial hyperreactivity in children up to two years of age in correlation with atopy [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2016
Background/Aim. Bronchiolitis in early childhood caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is considered to be important risk factor of the recurrent wheezing and asthma development.

Properdin in childhood and its association with wheezing and atopy [PDF]

, 2010
Properdin, a serum glycoprotein, is an important component of innate immunity, the only known positive regulator of complement, acting as an initiation point for alternative pathway activation.

Contact-Reactions in Atopy

The Journal of Immunology, 1940
Summary A special type of contact-reaction to an oil-free preparation of silkworm has been described. This form of hypersensitiveness seems to occur most frequently in atopic children. It is not based upon the presence of atopic reagin and cannot be passively transferred to normal skin.

Intranasal administration of ceramide liposome suppresses allergic rhinitis by targeting CD300f in murine models

Scientific Reports
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is caused by type I hypersensitivity reaction in the nasal tissues. The interaction between CD300f and its ligand ceramide suppresses immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated mast cell activation.

Betacellulin, a member of the EGF family, ameliorates atopic dermatitis-like symptoms via EGFR–JNK/ERK-mediated activation of autophagy

Allergology International
Background: The expression of betacellulin (BTC), which functions as a ligand for the EGF receptor (EGFR), is markedly reduced in the lesional skin of individuals with atopic dermatitis (AD), and it can improve Th2-type cytokine-mediated impairment of ...

Neuronal substance P-driven MRGPRX2-dependent mast cell degranulation products differentially promote vascular permeability

Frontiers in Immunology
Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor b2 (Mrgprb2) binding to its cationic endogenous and exogenous ligands induces mast cell degranulation and promotes inflammation in mice. However, the physiological roles of its human homologue MRGPRX2 remain unclear.

Presensitization to Ascaris antigens promotes induction of mite-specific IgE upon mite antigen inhalation in mice

Allergology International, 2016
Background: Patients with house dust mite (HDM) allergy or Ascariasis produce serum IgE specific to the antigens of HDM or nematode Ascaris, respectively.

Risk factors for atopic and non-atopic asthma in a rural area of Ecuador [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Asthma has emerged as an important public health problem of urban populations in Latin America. Epidemiological data suggest that a minority of asthma cases in Latin America may be associated with allergic sensitisation and that other ...

Gene–Environment Interactions—What Can These Tell Us about the Relationship between Asthma and Allergy?

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2017
Asthma is a common condition, which is associated with atopy and allergic conditions including hay fever, eczema, and food allergies. Asthma and atopy are both complex conditions where genetic and environmental factors are implicated in causation ...
