  2. 21. Cholera toxin B subunit as a carrier for inducing mucosal immunity and/or peripheral tolerance

    Author : Carola Rask; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mucosal immunity; tolerance; atopic allergy; cholera toxin B subunit; antibody response; IgE;

    Abstract : When an antigen is introduced via a mucosal route, either immunity or tolerance, or even both may be induced. Both immunity and tolerance are actively induced phenomena and both of them could have important medical implications as well as potential prophylactic or therapeutic applications. READ MORE

  4. 22. Atopic dermatitis in adults: prognosis and factors of importance for persistence

    Author : Mari Helen Sandström Falk; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atopic dermatitis; adults; prognosis; prognostic factors; Malassezia; atopu patch test; skin prick test; IgE; prevalence; severity; locations;

    Abstract : Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common skin disease with multifactorial aetiology. Elevatedlevels of serum IgE are common in AD patients and IgE antibodies to the yeast Malassezia, amember of the cutaneous microflora, are also common. READ MORE

  5. 23. Adverse Reactions after Vaccination and Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy: Contact Allergy to Aluminium and Itching Nodules

    Author : Eva Netterlid; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Patch test; Itching nodules; Contact allergy; ASIT; Aluminium; Allergen-specific immunotherapy; Adverse event; Parental reports; vaccination;

    Abstract : The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to investigate two different types of adverse reactions, persistent itching nodules and contact allergy to aluminium, after immunization with aluminium-containing vaccines and aluminium-containing allergen extracts used for allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT). The first paper describes active parental reporting of adverse events (AEFIs) after a booster dose of diphtheria-tetanus vaccine (DT). READ MORE

  6. 24. Specific IgE-profiles and allergy prediction

    Author : Sandra G Tedner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Presence of antibodies of type Immunoglobulin E (IgE-ab), often called sensitization, is common and often precede development of atopic disease, including food allergy. While not all IgE-sensitized individuals develop food allergy, some seem to be at a higher risk. READ MORE

  7. 25. Epigenetic mechanisms of asthma and allergy

    Author : Nathalie Acevedo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Allergic diseases such as atopic eczema (AE) and asthma are chronic inflammatory disorders in which the regulation of the immune system is altered, in concert with disease-specific defects in target organs. Their inception requires gene-environment interactions but the molecular mechanisms contributing to the pathogenesis remain unclear. READ MORE
