Abstract

Investigations were carried out on 62 patients with atopic and nonatopic asthma and 70 normal individuals. Leukocytes isolated according to the method of Mogensen and Cantell, were induced for interferon production with Newcastle virus, H strain for 24 h at 37 degrees C in a tube culture placed in rolling drum. Interferon was assayed in the culture of human fibroblasts (HAT). Leukocytes from patients with both types of asthma had reduced interferon-inducing activity. At acute viral infection, a transient increase of interferon titer was observed. The titer, however, never reached the values of interferon induced in leukocytes from healthy individuals.

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. 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.
