Abstract

TDI-induced asthma exhibits clinical, functional and morphological similarities with allergen-induced asthma, suggesting that an immunological mechanism is involved in the sensitization to TDI. In vitro studies using the technique of cloning lymphocytes demonstrated that a great proportion of T-cell clones derived from bronchial mucosa of subjects with TDI-induced asthma produced IL-5 and interferon-gamma, but not IL-4, upon in vitro stimulation. To investigate in vivo the role of IL-4 and IL-5 on the inflammatory response of the bronchial mucosa to TDI in sensitized subjects, we performed a quantitative analysis of bronchial biopsies. We obtained bronchial biopsies from six subjects with TDI asthma 48 h after an asthmatic reaction induced by TDI challenge (challenged group), in six subjects with TDI asthma 1-4 weeks after the last exposure to TDI (chronic group), and in six non-asthmatic controls. The number of eosinophils, mast cells, T-lymphocytes, and IL-4 and IL-5 protein positive cells was determined by immunohistochemistry in the area 100 microm beneath the epithelial basement membrane. The characteristic increase of submucosal eosinophils, but not of mast cells and T-lymphocytes, was observed in the subjects with TDI-in...Continue Reading

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.
