The novel cytokine IL-31 and its receptor have been shown to play a central role in bridging the immune system with neurons, epithelial surfaces connective tissues. Although increasing evidence has demonstrated their inflammation, involvement expansion of distinct leukocyte subsets is not fully understood. Detailed analyses Il31-transgenic (Eμ-Lck) mice indicated that next induction pruritus sk...

Two human alloreactive T cell clones were established from a one-way mixed lymphocyte culture involving two nonatopic donors, and were assessed for their capacity to induce IgE synthesis by B cells obtained from the original stimulator. The two alloreactive T cell clones studied induced IgG but not IgE synthesis in normal B cells. However, one of the two clones, clone 2H6, induced IgE synthesis...

DOCK8 deficiency is a newly described primary immune deficiency resulting in profound susceptibility to cutaneous viral infections, elevated IgE levels, and eosinophilia, but lacking in the skeletal manifestations commonly seen in hyper IgE syndrome, which it otherwise resembles. Although little is known about the DOCK8 protein, it resembles other atypical guanine exchange factors in the DOCK f...

Hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES), also called Job’s syndrome, [Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) #147060 and #243700] is a rare primary immunodeficiency disease, with an incidence lower than 1/10, not gender related, transmitted as an autosomal dominant or recessive trait with variable expressivity and of unknown etiology. HIES has been defined as a multisystem disease characterised by: 1) ex...

Introduction The syndrome of hyper-IgE syndrome or Job syndrome or Burckley syndrome, is a rare primary immunodeficiency characterized by defective phagocytic manifesting recurrent infections, mainly Staphylococcal associated with eczema severe atopic, musculoskeletal disorders, pathological fractures, scoliosis and levels high IgE (> 2.000UI / ml). Among the immunological characteristics, we c...
