Abstract

Interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5 and interferon (IFN)-gamma are thought to play an important role in chronic airway inflammation in asthmatic subjects. Increased airways responsiveness and nocturnal airway obstruction are important clinical manifestations of asthma. The aim of this study was to investigate whether IL-4, IL-5 and IFN-gamma values are elevated in atopic asthma and correlate with its clinical manifestations. Serum IL-4, IL-5 and IFN-gamma levels of 17 atopic asthmatics and eight nonatopic healthy subjects were determined at 16:00 and 04:00 h by a chemiluminescence enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. The clinical manifestation of asthma was determined by assessment of the degree of airway obstruction, airways responsiveness to methacholine and severity of nocturnal airway obstruction, defined as the mean circadian (16:00-04:00 h) peak expiratory flow (PEF) variation. Serum IL-4, IL-5 and IFN-gamma levels were significantly higher in asthmatic subjects as compared to healthy controls, both at 16:00 and 04:00 h. In asthmatic subjects serum IFN-gamma at both time points correlated significantly with the provocative concentration of methacholine causing a 20% fall in forced expiratory volume in one second (PC20,m...Continue Reading

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis 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.

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.
