Gut bacteria, regulatory T cells and allergic sensitization in early childhood
… and, as consequence of this, development of allergic disorders. Thus, we examined if the infantile gut microbiota was related to the postnatal T cell development in vivo and if certain commensal gut bacteria were able to induce regulatory T cells (Tregs) in vitro. We also investigated if the …

Antigenic and immunological determinants of acute allergic susceptibility to meat in a uniquely defined cohort in the Eastern Cape
Allergic sensitization can occur after allergen exposure through the oral-mucosal or cutaneous route. Allergic remission is associated with a decrease in total and specific IgE levels to allergens. Ascaris lumbricoides is a potent inducer of IgE through the establishment of a strong Th2 …

Airway Inflammatory States in Response to Environmental Pollutants and the Influence of Oxidative Balance
… specifically sulfates and aldehydes, enhance allergic sensitization, thus triggering inflammatory processes in airways. Further, it was hypothesized that oxidative stress plays a role in the aforementioned inflammatory enhancement. Sulfite and acrolein were utilized in vitro to test the …
