Airway IgG counteracts specific and bystander allergen-triggered pulmonary inflammation by a mechanism dependent on Fc gamma R and IFN-gamma.
Besides IgE, the Ab isotype that gives rise to sensitization and allergic asthma, the immune response to common inhalant allergens also includes IgG. Increased serum titers of allergen-specific IgG, induced spontaneously or by allergen vaccination, have been implicated in protection against asthma. To verify the interference of topical IgG with the allergen-triggered eosinophilic airway inflamm...
متن کاملResolvin D1 and aspirin-triggered resolvin D1 promote resolution of allergic airways responses.
Asthma is a disease of airway inflammation that in most cases fails to resolve. The resolution of inflammation is an active process governed by specific chemical mediators, including D-series resolvins. In this study, we determined the impact of resolvin D1 (RvD1) and aspirin-triggered RvD1 (AT-RvD1) on the development of allergic airway responses and their resolution. Mice were allergen sensit...
متن کاملEffects of a DNA vaccine in an animal model of Alternaria alternata sensitivity.
Sensitivity to the fungus Alternaria is associated with asthma persistence and severity. Current therapeutic options for treating Alternaria-induced airway inflammation are limited. In this study, Brown Norway rats are used to study the effectiveness of a DNA-based vaccine delivered to the airway in attenuating the response to a major Alternaria allergen, rAlt a 2. Compared to untreated sensiti...
متن کاملThe Contribution of Allergen-Specific IgG to the Development of Th2-Mediated Airway Inflammation
In both human asthmatics and animal models of allergy, allergen-specific IgG can contribute to Th2-mediated allergic inflammation. Mouse models have elucidated an important role for IgG and Fc-gamma receptor (FcγR) signaling on antigen presenting cells (APC) for the induction of airway inflammation. These studies suggest a positive feedback loop between IgG produced by the adaptive B cell respo...
متن کاملIL-33-dependent induction of allergic lung inflammation by FcγRIII signaling.
Atopic asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lungs generally marked by excessive Th2 inflammation. The role of allergen-specific IgG in asthma is still controversial; however, a receptor of IgG-immune complexes (IgG-ICs), FcγRIII, has been shown to promote Th2 responses through an unknown mechanism. Herein, we demonstrate that allergen-specific IgG-ICs, formed upon reexposure to aller...
