μ-chain-deficient mice possess B-1 cells and produce IgG and IgE, but not IgA, following systemic sensitization and inhalational challenge in a fungal asthma model.
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is often difficult to treat and results in morbidity associated with chronic airway changes. This study assessed the requirement for B cells and their products in the allergic pulmonary phenotype in a murine model of fungal allergic asthma that mimics allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. C57BL/6 and μMT mice (assumed to lack peripheral B cells) were s...
متن کاملCharacterization of CD19(+)CD23(+)B2 lymphocytes in the allergic airways of BALB/c mice in response to the inhalation of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia.
Fungal sensitization in patients with asthma often indicates an unusual disease course in which traditional asthma treatments have little effect and in which morbidity is particularly severe. Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), inflammatory infiltrates, smooth muscle hyperplasia, and irreversible fibrotic remodeling of the bronchial architecture are features of allergic fungal asthma. The systemi...
متن کاملImmunotherapy of Chenopodium Album Induced Asthma by Intranasal Administration of CpG Oligodeoxynucleotides in BALB/c Mice
Background: There are many therapeutic methods for allergic conditions. CpG oli-gonucleotides play a critical role in immunity via the augmentation of Th1 and suppres-sion of Th2 responses. Objective: In the present study we aimed to estimate the effec-tiveness of intranasal administration of CpG ODN plus Chenopodium album allergen in allergic asthma compared with the administration of allergen...
متن کاملبررسی میزان سرمی ایمونوگلوبولین های IgG و IgM و IgA و IgE و شمارش لنفوسیت های (+B(CD22 در بیماران مبتلا به بیماری بهجت در ایران
The Behcet disease (BD) is a systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. Evidences suggest that at least some of the clinical aspect of the BD may be due to autoimmune responses, these includes elevated levels of immunoglobulins (Igs) and immune complexes. To clarify the molecular basis of the changes in the level of different classes of Igs in BD, we have detected the amount of IgG, IgM...
متن کاملAeroallergen-induced eosinophilic inflammation, lung damage, and airways hyperreactivity in mice can occur independently of IL-4 and allergen-specific immunoglobulins.
In this investigation we have used a mouse model containing certain phenotypic characteristics consistent with asthma and IL-4- and CD40-deficient mice to establish the role of this cytokine and allergen-specific immunoglobulins in the initiation of airways hyperreactivity and morphological changes to the airways in responses to aeroallergen challenge. Sensitization and aerosol challenge of mic...
