Raised serum immunoglobulin E in Wegener's granulomatosis.
Five patients with Wegner's granulomatosis were found to have significantly raised serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels. The rise in IgE was not related to the extent of clinical involvement, was not part of a generalized serum immunoglobulin rise, and was not associated with eosinophilia. Raised serum IgE may be a clue to the pathogenesis of this disease.
متن کاملHLA-C and killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor genes in idiopathic bronchiectasis.
RATIONALE In idiopathic bronchiectasis, lung inflammation and chronic bacterial infection lead to progressive lung damage. A possible role for natural killer (NK) cells is suggested by the observation that familial bronchiectasis occurs in a rare group of individuals with impaired HLA class I expression and consequent NK cell dysfunction. OBJECTIVE Because the HLA-C locus and killer cell immu...
متن کاملSerum immunoglobulin E and immunoglobulin G reactivity to Agaricus bisporus proteins in mushroom cultivation workers

The aim of the present study was to evaluate specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) ...

متن کاملMucosal inflammation in idiopathic bronchiectasis: cellular and molecular mechanisms.
Bronchiectasis is a chronic and debilitating lung disease, characterised by irreversible dilatation of the bronchi as consequence of airway injury and remodelling due to recurrent or chronic airway inflammation and infection. The underlying aetiologies include autoimmune diseases, severe infections, genetic abnormalities and acquired disorders. The pathogenesis of bronchiectasis is poorly under...
