چکیده
Methods C56BL/6 mice were sensitized by intranasal administration of olive extract+cholera toxin B, for 6 weeks. Then, mice received immunotherapy (IT) treatment by subcutaneous (sc) injection of dendrimer-Ole1±50 mg of CpG, for 8 weeks. Seven days after the IT, mice were challenged with 100 mg of olive extract (ip). Severity of anaphylaxis was measured by drop in body temperature and the humoral response by ELISA.

متن کاملCan Allergic Disorders Decrease the Risk of Thromboembolic Events in Atherosclerosis? an Evidence-based Review
Atherosclerosis is a complex inflammatory disorder of the medium and large-sized arteries. Recent experiments demonstrated that atherosclerosis is a Th1 dominant autoimmune condition, whereas Th2 cells are rarely detected within the atherosclerotic lesions.

متن کاملSynthetic Peptide dendrimers block the development and expression of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.
Multiple Ag peptides (MAPs) containing eight proteolipid protein (PLP)(139-151) peptides arranged around a dendrimeric branched lysine core were used to influence the expression and development of relapsing experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) in SJL mice. The PLP(139-151) MAPs were very efficient agents in preventing the development of clinical disease when administered after immuniza...
