Throughout history, pandemics of viral infections such as HIV, Ebola and Influenza have disrupted health care systems, including the prevention and control of endemic diseases. Such disruption has resulted in an increased burden of endemic diseases in post-pandemic periods.
Our results indicate a dissociation between the antibody and T-cell responses to rhinoviruses
Pneumococcal surface protein A is immunogenic and natural anti-PspA immune responses are acquired through exposure and develop with age
Measures of allergic sensitization and therapeutic strategies could be optimized with knowledge of Der p 2 variants
This study analysed the IgE binding patterns caused by house dust mite allergens in scabies endemic communities in Australia.
This comprehensive review provides an introduction to immunological hypersensitivity, discusses the sensitisation of T-cell lineages.
