Abstract

Fifty-eight mite-allergic asthmatic patients ages 15 to 22 years were examined. Low respiratory threshold to acetyl-choline (RT-Ach), high maximal histamine release (HR) by mite and anti-IgE, high serum IgE levels and high eosinophil counts were highly associated with the severity of asthma. RT-Ach correlated inversely with HR to mite and anti-IgE. The maximal histamine release from leukocyte caused by anti-IgE also correlated highly with the severity of asthma.

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.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.
