Antigenic Properties of Human Tumours: Delayed Cutaneous Hypersensitivity Reactions

Antigenic Properties of Human Tumours: Delayed Cutaneous Hypersensitivity Reactions.

Cell Reactions in Delayed Hypersensitivity

Delayed hypersensitivity reactions to corticosteroids.

BACKGROUND Corticosteroids (CS) are widely used in the treatment of asthma, allergic disorders and other immunological diseases due to their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Physicians seldom suspect them of causing allergic reactions. However, more and more cases of hypersensitivity reactions to CS have been described. Reports of delayed allergic reactions to CS in patients ...

Effect of fluoropyrimidines on delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity.

although recently paradoxical potentiation of antibody titers has been reported (11, 14). Cancer chemotherapists have been concerned for many years that the drugs used in treating cancer might suppress any host immunity to the tumor and actually hasten rather than retard its spread. It was for this reason that the present study was under taken. Briefly, the experimental design consisted of asse...

Cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions to freshwater cyanobacteria – human volunteer studies

BACKGROUND Pruritic skin rashes associated with exposure to freshwater cyanobacteria are infrequently reported in the medical and scientific literature, mostly as anecdotal and case reports. Diagnostic dermatological investigations in humans are also infrequently described. We sought to conduct a pilot volunteer study to explore the potential for cyanobacteria to elicit hypersensitivity reactio...
