  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. Innovative approaches to study basophil function in inflammation

    Author : Zenib Aljadi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Basophils are circulating granulocytes. They are very rare and represent less than 1% of peripheral blood leukocytes. Basophils connect the innate and adaptive immune responses by the secretion of a variety of immune-mediators involved in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory diseases mainly allergic reactions and autoimmune diseases.

    Abstract : Allergic diseases affect approximately 30% of adults and has an impact on both the individual’s quality of life as well as an economic impact on society. Two effector cells involved in allergic disease are mast cells and basophils, where basophils are more readily available in blood and therefore of great interest when studying allergy. READ MORE

  6. 4. Diagnosis of dog allergy in children : molecular assessment and refined characterization

    Author : Ulrika Käck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Dog allergy is a common cause of rhinitis and asthma in children, yet the diagnosis is a clinical challenge. Allergic sensitization, i.e. the presence of serum IgE antibodies, to dog dander affect up to 30 % of all children and adolescents, but not all sensitized children display symptoms. READ MORE

  7. 5. Circulating Human Basophils and Dendritic Cell Subsets. Aspects of antigen recognition and presentation in type I allergic immune responses

    Author : Frida Rydnert; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dendritic cells; basophils; allergy; pattern-recognition receptors; allergen-specific immunotherapy;

    Abstract : Allergic diseases currently affect a third of the population in the industrialized parts of the world. Despite this, the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the induction and activation of allergic diseases are not fully clarified. READ MORE
