Intermediate alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency in atopic allergy

Clinical Allergy
J J HoffmannJ H Dijkman

Abstract

In a population of over 200 patients with atopic bronchial disease, significantly increased frequencies of the alpha 1-antitrypsin Pi-types of intermediate deficiency (Pi MZ and Pi MS) were found. As far as we are aware of, this report is the first in which strictly objective criteria for patient classification with respect to atopy have been used. A possible biochemical basis for the phenomenon is presented.

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.

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.
