Abstract

Evidence from in vitro studies suggests a potential role for vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in eosinophil trafficking. We hypothesized that induction of VCAM-1 occurs in the lung during IgE-mediated airway inflammation in humans. The technique of segmental antigen provocation followed by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) at 24 h was used to study 27 ragweed-allergic asthmatics (AA) and 18 atopic nonasthmatics (ANA). Total and differential cell counts were performed, and IL-4, IL-5, and soluble (VCAM) (sVCAM) levels in concentrated BAL fluid were measured by ELISA. A large increase in sVCAM levels after segmental challenge in both AA and ANA (1.79 +/- 0.31 to 139.39 +/- 68.58 ng/ml, p < 0.0005 and 2.85 +/- 0.80 to 98.25 +/- 77.35 ng/ml, p < 0.05, respectively) was observed. BAL IL-4 and IL-5 also increased after challenge (IL-4: 51.7 +/- 17.72 to 150.1 +/- 58.82 pg/ml, 0.05 < p < 0.10, n = 20 for AA, and 36.6 +/- 9.05 to 116.8 +/- 51.5 pg/ml, 0.05 < p < 0.10, n = 15 for ANA; IL-5: 0 to 2.67 +/- 1.62 ng/ml, p < 0.01, n = 16 for AA, and 0 to 2.87 +/- 2.16 ng/ml, 0.05 < p < 0.10, n = 10 for ANA). In both groups, the majority of the increase in sVCAM, IL-4, and IL-5 was accounted for by subjects who displayed a dual phase res...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.

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.
