Targeting immunoglobulin E in non-atopic asthma: crossing the red line?
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease on a clinical as well as a mechanistic level. A major molecular mechanism of asthma is considered to be driven by type 2 T-helper cells (Th2) and eosinophilic airway inflammation in both atopic and non-atopic asthma [1]. Over recent years, however, extensive research has revealed that Th2-low subtypes are also common, particularly in severe asthma [2–4]. These ...
متن کاملBacterial precipitins and their immunoglobulin class in atopic asthma, non-atopic asthma, and chronic bronchitis.
In a study of groups of patients with atopic (extrinsic) asthma, non-atopic (intrinsic) asthma, and chronic bronchitis, no difference could be detected in the numbers having precipitating antibodies against species specific antigens from Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pneumoniae compared to suitably matched control subjects. Precipitating antibodies against species specific antigens fro...
متن کاملRelationship between atopic dermatitis and immunoglobulin E.
Coca and Grove (1925) concluded that serum factors, which they called reagins, were present in individuals with allergic respiratory disease. More than 40 years later, reaginic antibody was shown by Johansson and Ichizaka to belong to the immunoglobin E (IgE) class of immunoglobins. It has been established that the Fc component of IgE has an affinity for surface receptors on mast cells and baso...
متن کاملPrevalence of specific immunoglobulin E and G against Aspergillus fumigatus in patients with asthma
Background and Purpose: Aspergillus fumigatus as a ubiquitous fungus can be found in the respiratory tract of the asthmatic and healthy people. The inhalation of Aspergillus spores leads to an immune response in individuals with asthma and results in the aggravation of the clinical symptoms. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of specific immunoglobulin E and G (IgE and IgG) a...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin E anti-Staphylococcus aureus antibodies in atopic patients.
Sera from 56 patient and normal adults were examined to quantitate total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and IgE antibodies to Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Patients were divided into six groups based on clinical symptoms; a seventh group consisted of normal adults. Anti-S, aureus IgE binding was significantly higher in three groups of patients (those with eczema, those with or w...
