Effect of local nasal immunotherapy on nasal blockage in pollen-induced allergic rhinitis of Guinea pigs.
BACKGROUND As a non-injection route for immunotherapy, local nasal immunotherapy has been examined in allergic rhinitis patients. However, it is unclear how the immunotherapy affects sneezing, biphasic nasal blockage and nasal hyperresponsiveness. Thus, we evaluated the therapeutic effects of nasal immunotherapy on the symptoms of guinea pig allergic rhinitis. Additionally, we also evaluated wh...
متن کاملNasal hyperresponsiveness to histamine induced by repetitive exposure to cedar pollen in guinea-pigs.
Nasal hyperresponsiveness is one of the characteristic features of the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis. This study examined whether repetitive inhalation of antigen (Japanese cedar pollen) led to the development of nasal hyperresponsiveness to histamine in sensitized conscious guinea-pigs. Guinea-pigs were repeatedly challenged by pollen inhalation once every week following sensitization by m...
متن کاملDiesel exhaust augments allergen-induced lower airway inflammation in allergic individuals: a controlled human exposure study.
RATIONALE Traffic-related air pollution has been shown to augment allergy and airway disease. However, the enhancement of allergenic effects by diesel exhaust in particular is unproven in vivo in the human lung, and underlying details of this apparent synergy are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that a 2 h inhalation of diesel exhaust augments lower airway inflammation and ...
متن کاملCombined nasal challenge with diesel exhaust particles and allergen induces In vivo IgE isotype switching.
In this study we undertook to provide evidence for local in vivo isotype switching to IgE following nasal challenges. Detection of deleted switch circular DNA (switch circles) by a novel nested polymerase chain reaction-based approach was employed as definitive molecular evidence of Ig isotype switching. Nasal challenge in humans with diesel exhaust particles (DEP) plus ragweed antigen has been...
متن کاملThe Allergic Rhinitis Clinical Investigator Collaborative – nasal allergen induced eosinophilia
Background The Allergic Rhinitis Clinical Investigator Collaborative (AR-CIC) is a Canadian multi-center initiative with the primary goal of performing standardized nasal allergen challenge (NAC) to study the anti-allergic effects of novel therapeutic agents for allergic rhinitis (AR). The model further allows identification of potential mechanisms of allergic disease and biomarkers. In this st...
