Twenty-four articles reported 43 measures of relative risks (RRs). The weighted mean, according to a random effects model, did not ...
متن کاملDoes parasitic infection protect against allergy?
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays a central role in the pathogenesis of immediate hypersensitivity reactions because of its capacity to bind specifically to high-affinity IgE receptors on mast cells or basophiles by the alpha chain of Fc epsilon receptor type I (Fc-epsilon RI-α).1 In addition to its ability to activate mast calls and basophiles, IgE can bind to the low-affinity IgE receptor (CD23, o...
