Role of selectins on IgE-mediated skin reaction

IgE-mediated reaction to local anaesthetics.

Local anaesthetics (LAs) are essential agents in daily practices of dentistry, minor surgery and dermatology. Although they have an impressive history of safety and efficacy, LAs also have the potential to produce adverse events, which are mainly of non-immune nature. The true IgE-mediated allergies are quite rare, but are more considerable in terms of ability to cause life-threatening outcomes...

Role of TGF-b1 on the IgE-Dependent Anaphylaxis Reaction

IgE-mediated anaphylactic degranulation of isolated human skin mast cells.

Isolated human skin mast cells (HSMC) were prepared and cultured overnight before functional and electron microscopic studies. Mast cell suspensions were examined after stimulation with anti-IgE to produce anaphylactic degranulation or examined in buffer-incubated controls. Histamine release was measured in replicate samples. Control, isolated HSMC studied by electron microscopy were well prese...

the role of semantic and communicative translation on reading comprehension of scientific texts

the following null hypothesis was proposed: h : there is no significant difference between the use of semantically or communicatively translates scientific texts. to test the null hypothesis, a number of procedures were taken first, two passages were selected form soyrcebooks of food and nutrition industry and gardening deciplines. each, in turn, was following by a number of comprehension quest...

Epidermal Neuromedin U Attenuates IgE-Mediated Allergic Skin Inflammation

Although keratinocyte-derived neuropeptide neuromedin U (NMU) mediates the proinflammatory effects of innate-type mast cell activation, no information is available on the physiological roles. Here, to investigate the effects of NMU on IgE-mediated allergic skin inflammation, we determined whether IgE-mediated inflammation associated with severe scratching was induced in Nmu-/- mice administered...
