Experimental Sensitization with Japanese Cedar Pollen in Dogs.

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2000
Japanese cedar pollinosis is a type I allergic disease mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies to Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) pollen antigen (CPAg). By using 22 dogs consisting of 20 dogs aged 3 months and 2 dogs aged 3 years, immunization was performed by subcutaneous injections of CPAg with aluminum hydroxide gel.

Land and Water Pedagogy in TESOL: Centering Indigenous Knowledges

open access: yesTESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract The intersection of English Language Teaching (ELT), TESOL, and Indigenous knowledges is an important yet often neglected area of inquiry. This paper explores the importance of including Indigenous knowledges – specifically land and water pedagogies – in ELT, TESOL, and broader language education practices. Through duoethnographic inquiry, we –

The polysaccharide Pullulan improves the initial steps of allergen‐specific immunotherapy in dogs

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Allergen‐specific immunotherapy (AIT) is the only aetiological treatment for canine atopic dermatitis (CAD). Pullulan, a polysaccharide with immunomodulatory properties, may enhance AIT outcomes when combined with allergens such as recombinant Dermatophagoides farinae 2 (Der f 2).
