New perspectives on immunological pathways underlying peanut-induced anaphylaxis
نویسنده
چکیده
Background Food-induced anaphylaxis is often a severe allergic reaction characterized by multi-organ dysfunction and a potentially fatal outcome, and accounts for one third to one-half of anaphylactic reactions treated in emergency departments worldwide. Presently, the role of specific effector cells, immunoglobulins and other effector molecules to food-induced anaphylaxis remains to be fully elucidated.

Contribution of Classic and Alternative Effector Pathways in Peanut-Induced Anaphylactic Responses
Food allergy affects approximately 5% of children and is the leading cause of hospitalization for anaphylactic reactions in westernized countries. However, the pathways of anaphylaxis in food allergy are still relatively unknown. We investigated the effector pathways of allergic and anaphylactic responses of different strains of mice in a clinical relevant model of peanut allergy. C3H/HeOuJ, C5...
متن کاملAnaphylaxis Associated with Peanuts and Nuts in Late Mexican Adolescents: A Population Based Study
Background: There is a lack of information regarding anaphylaxis that is triggered by the peanut and nuts in countries with emerging economies. We aimed to identify the factors that are related to the prevalence of secondary anaphylaxis that results from ingesting peanuts or nuts. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, population-based study was conducted in which we applied a structured qu...
متن کاملIL-7Rα and L-selectin, but not CD103 or CD34, are required for murine peanut-induced anaphylaxis
BACKGROUND Allergy to peanuts results in severe anaphylactic responses in affected individuals, and has dramatic effects on society and public policy. Despite the health impacts of peanut-induced anaphylaxis (PIA), relatively little is known about immune mechanisms underlying the disease. Using a mouse model of PIA, we evaluated mice with deletions in four distinct immune molecules (IL7Rα, L-se...
متن کاملImpact of CD40 ligand, B cells, and mast cells in peanut-induced anaphylactic responses.
The effector immune mechanisms underlying peanut-induced anaphylaxis remain to be fully elucidated. We investigated the relative contribution of Igs, mast cells (MCs), and FcepsilonRI in the elicitation of anaphylaxis in a murine model. Assessment of peanut hypersensitivity reactions was performed clinically and biologically. Our data show that wild-type (WT; C57BL/6 strain) mice consistently d...
متن کاملCD4-Blockade Can Induce Protection from Peanut-Induced Anaphylaxis
Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) have been shown effective in inducing immune tolerance in a range of animal models of autoimmunity, allergy, and transplantation. We investigated whether CD4-blockade, effective in inducing transplantation tolerance, could prevent systemic immune responses leading to anaphylaxis. We found that treatment with a non-depleting anti-CD4 mAb could prevent peanut-induced a...
