Abstract

Antigen processing determines the production of peptides from antigens - including allergens - and their binding to class II major histocompatibility complex molecules, that stimulate T-cell responses. Heat shock protein (hsp) 70 are recognized to have a role in chaperoning antigenic peptides and in facilitating class II peptide assembly. We studied the HLA-DR and hsp70 expression on BAL cells and bronchial biopsies from asthmatics, as well as the effect of low dose fluticasone propionate treatment. Twenty-three asthmatics and eight normal subjects were selected. In each subject BAL and bronchial biopsies were performed. Eighteen out of 23 asthmatics, underwent the second bronchoscopy after 6 weeks of low dose inhaled fluticasone propionate treatment (250 microg b.d.) in a placebo-controlled double-blind study. BAL fluid and biopsies were processed to evaluate HLA-DR and hsp70 expression by immunochemistry methods. Hsp70 and HLA-DR upregulation was present on professional and non-professional antigen presenting cells (APCs). In asthmatics, the hsp70 and HLA-DR expression was higher in BAL (hsp70 P<0.001, HLA-DR P<0.001) and bronchial epithelium (hsp70 P<0.001, HLA-DR P<0.001) when compared with controls. We also observed a sign...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.
