If left untreated, hepatitis C may lead to progressive hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
The mutant Der p 2 had altered structure and reduced ability to stimulate pro-inflammatory responses and to bind IgE
Early aberrant antibody responses, aeroallergen sensitised people, subclinical bacterial infection
Nutrition is one of the most easily modifiable environmental factors during early life that may play a role in allergic disease prevention.
Tropomyosins represent clinically relevant seafood allergens but the role of mite tropomyosin
Scabies infestations are difficult to diagnose clinically and current serologic tests have less than 50% accuracy...
The aim of this study was to identify features of innate, cell-mediated and humoral immunity that may increase susceptibility to respiratory infections in...
We aimed to measure the antibody development to 2 bacteria in a birth cohort at high risk of allergic disease, and to assess which responses are asthma-linked.
