Campylobacter jejuni infection and IgE sensitization in up to 2-year-old infants [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2015
Background/Aim. The “hygiene hypothesis” addresses the correlation between the occurrence of atopy and the frequency of infections in the earliest age, explaining an increase in the incidence of atopic diseases by living in good, infection-free,

Antigen Protease Activity on Intact or Tape-Stripped Skin Induces Acute Itch and T Helper Sensitization Leading to Airway Eosinophilia in Mice

JID Innovations
Respiratory allergen sources such as house dust mites frequently contain proteases. In this study, we demonstrated that the epicutaneous application of a model protease antigen, papain, onto intact or tape-stripped ear skin of mice induced acute ...

The prevalence of atopy in asthmatic children correlates strictly with the prevalence of atopy among nonasthmatic children

, 2007
Background: Because asthma preferentially burdens persons with atopy, atopy is simplistically considered a primary 'cause' of asthma. Yet at the population level, the percentage of asthma cases 'attributable' to atopy ranges from less than 10% to more ...

Allergology International, 2011
Background: p-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (Mgat5 or GlcNac-TV), which is involved in the glyco- sylation of proteins, is known to be important for down-regulation of TCR-mediated T-cell activation and negatively regulates induction of contact ...

High body mass index is not associated with atopy in schoolchildren living in rural and urban areas of Ghana

BMC Public Health, 2011
Background Factors which determine the development of atopy and the observed rural-urban gradient in its prevalence are not fully understood. High body mass index (BMI) has been associated with asthma and potentially atopy in industrialized countries. In
