Dietary supplementation with fructooligosaccharides ameliorates allergy development following DEHP exposure in mice

open access: yesFood and Agricultural Immunology, 2021
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a prebiotic supplement, can enhance immunological responses, probably through regulation of gastrointestinal microflora. On the other hand, some environmental pollutants have adjuvanticity against allergic reactions/diseases.

Anti–IL-5 (mepolizumab) therapy reduces eosinophil activation ex vivo and increases IL-5 and IL-5 receptor levels [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2008
Anti-IL-5 might be a useful therapeutic agent for eosinophilic disorders, yet its immunologic consequences have not been well characterized.We sought to characterize the hematologic and immunologic effects of anti-IL-5 in human subjects.The effects of 3-month infusions of mepolizumab were assessed in 25 patients with a variety of eosinophilic syndromes.

Bifidobacterium longum and Lactobacillus plantarum alleviate house dust mite allergen-induced allergic rhinitis by regulating IL-4, IL-5, and IL-10 expression

open access: yesFood and Agricultural Immunology, 2019
We examined the effects of Bifidobacterium longum IM55, Lactobacillus plantarum IM76, and their (1:1 and 1:9) mixtures (PMs) on house dust mite allergen extract (HDMA)-induced allergic rhinitis (AR) in mice.

IL-27 regulates IL-18 binding protein in skin resident cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
IL-18 is an important mediator involved in chronic inflammatory conditions such as cutaneous lupus erythematosus, psoriasis and chronic eczema. An imbalance between IL-18 and its endogenous antagonist IL-18 binding protein (BP) may account for increased ...

BALB/c mice deficient in CD4(+) T cell IL-4R alpha expression control Leishmania mexicana load although female but not male mice develop a healer phenotype [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Immunologically intact BALB/c mice infected with Leishmania mexicana develop non-healing progressively growing lesions associated with a biased Th2 response while similarly infected IL-4R alpha-deficient mice fail to develop lesions and develop a robust ...

The Role of Eosinophil-Derived Neurotoxin and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in the Pathogenesis of Eosinophilic Asthma

open access: yesCells, 2023
Asthma is a chronic complex pulmonary disease characterized by airway inflammation, remodeling, and hyperresponsiveness. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) are two significant mediators involved in the ...

MODES OF INTERACTION BETWEEN SPERMATOZOID ABNORMALITIES AND CYTOKINES IN SEMINAL PLASMA FROM INFERTILE MALES

open access: yesМедицинская иммунология, 2014
. Spearman rank correlation analysis was applied to assess some interrelations between morphological abnormalities of spermatozoids in males with long-term infertility, and cytokine levels in their seminal plasma. Such statistical analysis has revealed a

Anti-il-5 in pediatric allergic diseases [PDF]

open access: yesPediatric Allergy and Immunology, 2020
Interleukin (IL)-5 is a potent mediator of the inflammatory cascade in the allergic response.Its predominant role in atopic reactions makes this cytokine an ideal target for blocking the eosinophilic inflammatory hyper-responsiveness to allergens.

Early production of IL-22 but not IL-17 by peripheral blood mononuclear cells exposed to live Borrelia burgdorferi: the role of monocytes and interleukin-1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
If insufficiently treated, Lyme borreliosis can evolve into an inflammatory disorder affecting skin, joints, and the CNS. Early innate immunity may determine host responses targeting infection. Thus, we sought to characterize the immediate cytokine storm
