The re-emergence of scarlet fever poses a new global public health threat. The capacity of North-East Asian serotype M12 (emm12) Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus, GAS) to cause scarlet fever has been linked epidemiologically to the presence of novel prophages
A widespread G2P[4] rotavirus epidemic in rural and remote Australia provided an opportunity to evaluate the performance of Rotarix and RotaTeq rotavirus vaccines, ten years after their incorporation into Australia's National Immunisation Program.
The mutant Der p 2 had altered structure and reduced ability to stimulate pro-inflammatory responses and to bind IgE
There is a marked shift in innate and adaptive immune responses in Chinese immigrants after living in a Western environment for several years
Recent studies with synthetic peptides representing allergens and non-allergenic house dust mite proteins now offer new research avenues on HDM induced immune responses
The proteins examined were the homologues of the P4, P6, P26, and D15 proteins of Haemophilus influenzae.
Activation of receptors of the innate immune system is a critical step in the initiation of immune responses.
More than 50% of allergic patients have house dust mite (HDM) allergy.
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.
Tropomyosins represent clinically relevant seafood allergens but the role of mite tropomyosin
