Platelet-activating factor (PAF)-dependent transacetylase (TA) is an enzyme that transfers an acetyl group from PAF to acceptor lipids such as lysophospholipids and sphingosine. This enzyme is distributed in membrane and cytosol of the cells. We previously revealed that TA purified from rat kidney membrane showed an amino acid sequence similarity to ...

An immune-adrenergic pathway induces lethal levels of platelet-activating factor in mice
Acute immune responses with excess production of cytokines, lipid/chemical mediators, or coagulation factors, often result in lethal damage. In addition, the innate immune system utilizes multiple types of receptors that recognize neurotransmitters as ...

Murine allergy model outcomes differ by sensitization route, allergen type, and mouse strain, influencing mechanisms such as IgE and mast cell involvement and the therapeutic relevance of each model. Understanding how experimental parameters shape outcomes is essential for selecting appropriate models and effectively translating findings to clinical ...

Involvement of the α/β Isoform of p38 MAP Kinase in Chemotactic Responses of Human Eosinophils to Eotaxin (CCL11) and RANTES (CCL5) [PDF]
Eosinophils are the principal effector cells for allergic inflammation in a variety of diseases, in which they contribute to tissue damage and remodelling processes via the secretion of cytotoxic granular proteins and cytokines.

This retrospective observational study analyzed a cohort of chronic urticaria (CU) patients to provide insight into the clinical practice of CU with second‐generation antihistamines (SgAHs) and to evaluate the long‐term real‐world effectiveness of rupatadine in CU. Patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU)
