Role of specific IgE, IgG and IgG4 antibodies to corn dust in exposed workers
BACKGROUND AND METHODS To evaluate the role of specific antibodies to corn dust (CD) and their relationship to respiratory dysfunction, we detected serum specific IgE(slgE) and IgG4(slgG4) antibodies by ELISA in 42 employees working in the animal feed industry and 27 unexposed controls. RESULTS Our survey revealed that 15 (34.9%) subjects had work-related respiratory dysfunction associated wi...
متن کاملThe prevalence of specific IgE and IgG to reactive dye-human serum albumin conjugate in workers of a dye factory and neighboring factories.
Previous studies suggest that reactive dyes can induce IgE mediated bronchoconstrictions. To evaluate the significance of specific IgE and IgG antibodies in workers exposed to reactive dyes, we studied the prevalence of Black GR-specific IgG by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, as well as Black GR-specific IgE by RAST, in 176 workers employed in 1 reactive dye factory and 4 neighboring factori...
متن کاملSpecific IgE, IgG and IgG4 antibodies against house dust mite in patients with bronchial asthma.
Serum levels of total IgE, specific IgE, IgG and IgG4 against house dust mite were measured in mite-sensitive asthma patients receiving immunotherapy with house dust. Serum levels of total IgE, mite specific IgE and IgG did not significantly change during the course of hyposensitization. Increased levels of mite specific IgG4 were observed in patients during immunotherapy. The increase in speci...
متن کاملasthma symptoms and specific ige levels among toluene diisocyanate (tdi) exposed workers in tehran, iran.
toluene diisocyanate (tdi) is an imperative chemical substance used in the production of polyurethane foams, elastomers, paints and coatings that cause a variety of health problems in workers who are exposed in work places. this study aimed to determine the asthma symptoms and serum specific ige levels in tdi exposed workers and comparing the results with healthy control group.all the plants th...
متن کاملBronchial symptoms and respiratory function in workers exposed to methylmethacrylate.
This study aimed to investigate the pulmonary effects of methylmethacrylate (MMA) in a group of occupationally exposed workers. In the exposed group 20% had chronic cough compared with 1% in controls. Spirometric values at the beginning of the workshift were similar in both groups, but a mild airways obstruction appeared during the workshift. The maximum expiratory flow when 50% of the forced v...
