1. T lymphocytes in allergic rhinitis
Abstract : The role of the T lymphocyte and T cell associated events in the allergic reaction were investigated in the nasal mucosa and in the peripheral blood. Patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis (birch pollen) and healthy controls were subjected to an allergen provocation study during non-pollen season. READ MORE

2. Cytokines and their soluble receptors in nasal fluids from school children with allergic rhinitis
Abstract : Allergic inflammation is associated with a shift in the balance between cytokines produced by two T helper subsets (Th1 and Th2) towards a preponderance of Th2 cells. Interleukin (IL)-4 is produced by Th2 cells and interferon-g (IFN-g) by Th1 cells. The ratio IL-4/IFN-g is often used as a marker of the balance between the cytokines. READ MORE

3. Systems Biology Based Approaches to Identify Biomarkers in Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis
Abstract : Glucocorticoids (GC) are the most effective anti-inflammatory treatment for seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR). However, a few patients with SAR show poor response to GC treatment. Hence, there is a clinical need to find biomarkers to predict and monitor treatment response. READ MORE

4. Symptoms and aspects on eosinophil activity in allergic rhinitis
Abstract : Allergic rhinitis is a major atopic disease. Even if much is known about the pathophysiology of this condition, and despite the fact that good treatments are available, there is a need for new treatment options, particularly for such aiming at new targets and reduced side effects.

5. Allergic rhinitis and intralymphatic vaccination : immune response and tolerance
Abstract : The overall goal of this thesis was to study novel immunological mechanisms for the development of pollen-induced allergic rhinitis (AR) and to evaluate the clinical response in combination with immunological changes in AR patients treated with intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT). In paper I, an increased fraction of neutrophils were detected in the nasal mucosa of AR patients compared with healthy controls. READ MORE
