First-aid treatment of anaphylaxis to food: focus on epinephrine.
Avoiding food triggers for anaphylactic reactions (severe acute systemic allergic reactions) is easier said than done. Most episodes of anaphylaxis to food occur unexpectedly in the community in the absence of a health care professional. All individuals at risk should therefore have an emergency action plan in place. The cornerstone of first-aid treatment of anaphylaxis is epinephrine injected ...
متن کاملFocus on Transfer Factor
he possibility of stimulating immune function by natural means is a major focus of current interest among practitioners of both allopathic medicine and complementary medicine. Several herbal compounds, including Echinacea and Andrographis, are finding a role in the treatment of immunodefidency or as agents to enhance immunity, to prevent infection and even contribute to longevity. 1 The use of ...
متن کاملCombinatorial influence of environmental parameters on transcription factor activity
MOTIVATION Cells receive a wide variety of environmental signals, which are often processed combinatorially to generate specific genetic responses. Changes in transcript levels, as observed across different environmental conditions, can, to a large extent, be attributed to changes in the activity of transcription factors (TFs). However, in unraveling these transcription regulation networks, the...
متن کاملOsmoprotective Transcription Factor NFAT5/TonEBP Modulates Nuclear Factor-κB Activity
Tonicity-responsive binding-protein (TonEBP or NFAT5) is a widely expressed transcription factor whose activity is regulated by extracellular tonicity. TonEBP plays a key role in osmoprotection by binding to osmotic response element/TonE elements of genes that counteract the deleterious effects of cell shrinkage. Here, we show that in addition to this "classical" stimulation, TonEBP protects ce...
متن کاملMapping regions of yeast transcription factor IIIA required for DNA binding, interaction with transcription factor IIIC, and transcription activity.
TFIIIA, a site-specific DNA-binding protein containing nine zinc finger motifs, is an RNA polymerase III transcription factor responsible for the assembly of a transcription complex on the 5 S RNA gene. We have analyzed the effect of deleting various regions of yeast TFIIIA on its ability to bind to the internal control region of the yeast 5 S RNA gene, to recruit TFIIIC into the TFIIIA.DNA com...
