Induction of immunologic tolerance: Desensitization to occupational allergens

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1986
Contact sensitivity is a major cause of skin disease and industrial morbidity. The incidence of industrial dermatitis in a number of industries is listed in Table I. The purpose of this investigation was to develop a means of specifically suppressing the development of contact sensitivity to simple chemicals with a common exposure in industry. A simple

Is ‘Desensitization’ for Ragweed Hay Fever Immunologically Specific?

International Archives of Allergy and Applied Immunology, 2009
Cell reactivity (the peak percentage release of histamine) to ragweed antigen E and timothy pollen extract was studied in the leukocytes of children chosen for clinical ragweed sensitivity and treated with that antigen. At the beginning of therapy all children had responded to antigen E with >50% histamine release.

Immunologic observations during desensitization and maintenance of clinical tolerance to penicillin

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1983
A nurse anesthetist who had experienced four systemic allergic reactions attributed to penicillin exposure was safely and successfully desensitized to penicillin despite predominantly minor determinant allergy (benzyl penicilloate skin test was positive at 1:100,000 dilution of standard 10 mM solution).

Insulin allergy. Clinical and immunological effects of specific desensitization

Acta Diabetologica Latina, 1969
Five patients with insulin allergy were desensitized with porcine insulin according to the method of Urbach and Gotlieb. The diagnosis of insulin allergy was based on clinical manifestations, positive skin tests, and, moreover, on positive Prausnitz-Kustner (P.K.) reactions in 2 cases. Successful desensitization was obtained in 3 cases.

Penicillin desensitization: correlation of clinical and immunological events using an in vitro model

Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 1972
SummaryA patient with actinomycosis was found to have immediate hypersensitivity to penicillin by previously described skin testing methods as well as by a recently described in vitro system utilizing rat peritoneal mast cells. Desensitization to penicillin became imperative, but in using the classical route (the intracutaneous route), systemic ...

Immunologic parameters and viral infections in patients desensitized with intravenous immunoglobulin and rituximab

Transplant Immunology, 2011
Desensitization with IVIG and rituximab followed by transplantation with alemtuzumab or daclizumab induction is an effective clinical protocol. Here, we examined the effects of this protocol on immune cell number, T cell function by Cylex ImmuKnow®, CMV-specific CD8+ T cell (CMV-Tc) activity, total and viral-specific immunoglobulin levels and viral ...

Overcoming Immunologic Barriers to Kidney Transplantation: Desensitization and Paired Donation

Current Surgery Reports, 2016
Renal transplantation offers a significant survival benefit over dialysis for patients with end-stage renal disease. Furthermore, transplantation with a living donor kidney offers superior survival when compared to a deceased donor. However, supply of transplantable kidneys continues to fall short of demand; living donation offers a solution to help ...

Studies of desensitization and cross-desensitization to immunologic and nonimmunologic stimuli that evoke contraction and histamine release in superfused guinea pig trachea

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1991
This study examined the possibility that there is cross-desensitization between immunologic and nonimmunologic stimuli that evoke contraction and histamine release (HR) in the isolated guinea pig trachea. Compound 48/80 and D-tubocurarine were found to cause homologous and heterologous desensitization for both contraction and HR from superfused trachea.

Outcome of Desensitization Therapy in Immunologically High-Risk Kidney Transplantation: Single-Center Experience

Transplantation Proceedings, 2019
Sensitization to HLA antigens creates an immunologic barrier, linked to an increased risk of antibody-mediated rejection and poorer graft survival, that remains a persistent and often impenetrable deterrent to transplantation. Desensitization can improve transplantation rates in broadly sensitized kidney transplant recipients.
