Abstract

Investigations were carried out on 28 patients with nonatopic bronchial asthma treated with glycocorticosteroids or antibiotics and on 15 patients with atopic bronchial asthma treated with Alavac S vaccine. Leukocytes isolated from these patients by the method of Mogensen and Cantell were induced with Newcastle disease virus for interferon production, IFN was tested in the culture of human fibroblasts (HAT). The production of leukocytic IFN in glycocorticosteroids- and antibiotics-treated patients was shown to increase. On the contrary, the leukocytes from the patients 3 months treated with Alavac S exhibited suppressed production of the interferon.

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

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.
