Abstract

The tissue kallikrein level in the nasal wash was measured before and after 4-week administration of oxatomide (30 mg per day) in 9 patients with perennial allergy. It was found that tissue kallikrein level in the nasal wash obtained following provocation tests significantly decreased from 6.05 +/- 4.43 (10(-10) mol/hour/L) to 1.84 +/- 0.93 (10(-10) mol/hour/L) after the administration of oxatomide. Improvement in subjective symptoms was also observed in all patients after the administration. These results would indicate that kinin in the system is actively involved in the pathogenesis of nasal allergy.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
