Genome-wide association study of IgG1 responses to the choline-binding protein PspC of Streptococcus pneumoniae

Delayed development of antibodies to S. pneumoniae in infancy is associated with the development of atopy and asthma.

Lower anti-echovirus antibody responses in children presenting to hospital with asthma exacerbations.

This article assesses the absolute and specific antibody titres to VP1 antigens of the gut-trophic enteroviruses, echovirus 30 and Sabin 1 poliovirus, in...

Hypersensitivity: Immunological

This comprehensive review provides an introduction to immunological hypersensitivity, discusses the sensitisation of T-cell lineages.

Analysis of IgE binding patterns to house dust mite allergens in scabies-endemic communities: insights for both diseases

This study analysed the IgE binding patterns caused by house dust mite allergens in scabies endemic communities in Australia.

Immunotherapy of allergic diseases by bacterial products

Allergic diseases are characterized by excessive immunoglobulin E (IgE) production, mast cell degranulation, tissue eosinophilia and mucus hypersecretion

Effect of early carriage of streptococcus pneumoniae on the development of pneumococcal protein-specific cellular immune responses in infancy

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between nasopharyngeal pneumococcal colonization in early life and the development of T cell responses.

International consensus (ICON) on: Clinical consequences of mite hypersensitivity, a global problem

The objectives of this document are to highlight aspects of mite biology that are clinically relevant and to update the current knowledge on mite allergens

Broad perspectives of allergen specific immunotherapy

Allergen specific immunotherapy aims to subvert or divert immune responses to allergens to ones that do not cause immunological hypersensitivities.
