2. 1. Food allergy in adults

   Author : Georgios K. Rentzos; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intestinal allergy; asthma; birch pollen; prevalence; peanut allergy; basophil activation test;

   Abstract : The knowledge on adverse reactions to foods and the spectrum of food-related gastrointestinal symptoms in relation to allergy in adults is still scarce. The conventional allergy tests do not always offer with precision an accurate diagnosis in case of suspicious food allergy and therefore patients often need to be investigated further with oral food challenge or even intestinal biopsy.

4. 2. Immunological mechanisms involved in seasonal pollen allergy and allergen-specific immunotherapy

   Author : Robert Movérare; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medical sciences; Allergy; birch pollen; IFN-g; IgE; IgG; IgG4; IL-4; IL-5; IL-10; IL-13; immunotherapy; PBMC; rush immunotherapy; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

   Abstract : Th1/Th2-like T-cell responses were studied by stimulating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with allergens or antigens followed by restimulation with mitogens to induce high cytokine synthesis. Allergen-stimulation in vitro induced Th2-skewed cytokine synthesis by PBMCs from birch-pollen-allergic patients. READ MORE

5. 3. Effect of allergen specific immunotherapy on allergic inflammation in the upper and lower airways

   Author : Monica Arvidsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; birch pollen allergy; cat allergy; specific immunotherapy; rush immunotherapy; experimental allergen challenge; late asthmatic response;

   Abstract : Experimental allergen challenge is widely used in diagnostic practice and research in allergy, but its relationship to environmental exposures is not clarified. Both models of allergic diseases have been used in order to examine the effects of allergen specific immunotherapy (SIT). READ MORE

6. 4. CC16 in allergy and allergic inflammation

   Author : Sofi Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : CC16; CC10; uteroglobin; Clara cell; allergy; asthma; children; allergen; respiratory syncytial virus; T cell; eosinophil; neutrophil; fMLF; PGD2;

   Abstract : Clara cell 16-kDa (CC16) is an anti-inflammatory protein mainly produced in the lung epithelium by Clara cells. Patients with asthma have lower levels of CC16 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and serum compared with healthy controls. READ MORE

7. 5. Exploring small airways using breath analyses

   Author : Emilia Viklund; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; exhaled particles; small airways; alveolar nitric oxide; SARS-CoV-2; birch pollen; smoking; lining fluid;

   Abstract : Background: Airway irritants such as allergens, tobacco smoke and viruses may cause damage in the small airways, usually undetected with routine diagnostic methods. Analyses of endogenously produced nitric oxide (NO) and endogenously produced small droplets (i.e. READ MORE
