Article Abstract
Background And Purpose: as a ubiquitous fungus can be found in the respiratory tract of the asthmatic and healthy people. The inhalation of spores leads to an immune response in individuals with asthma and results in the aggravation of the clinical symptoms. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of specific immunoglobulin E and G IgE and IgG) against in asthmatic patients.
Materials And Methods: This study was conducted on 200 consecutive patients with moderate to severe asthma referring to Masih Daneshvari hospital Tehran, Iran, from January 2016 to February 2018. Skin prick test (SPT) was performed in all subjects with allergens. Moreover, all patients underwent specific IgE testing for using Hycor method. Enzyme immune assay was applied to measure total IgE and specific IgG.
Results: According to the results, the mean age of the patients was 45.8 years (age range: 18-78 years). The mean levels of total IgE and specific IgE in asthmatic patients were obtained as 316.3 (range: 6-1300 IU/ml) and 1.5 (range: 0.1-61.3 IU/ml), respectively. Out of 200 patients, 27 (13.5%), 65 (32.5%), 22 (11.0%), and 86 (43.0%) cases had positive SPT, total IgE of > 417 IU/ml, specific IgE, and IgG, respectively. The level of these variables in patients with severe asthma were 16 (16.5%), 36 (37.1%), 15 (15.5%), and 46 (47.4%), respectively.
Conclusion: As the findings indicated, reactivity to is a remarkable phenomenon in asthmatic patients. It is also emphasised that the climatic condition may affect the positive rate of hypersensitivity to .

Prcis: Analysis of 1,175 Korean adults in the 2019 KNHANES study found that sensitization to house dust mites and birch pollen significantly increased glaucoma risk, while oak pollen sensitization showed a protective effect.
Background: The relationship between allergen sensitization and glaucoma remains poorly understood. This study investigated the association between specific allergen sensitization patterns and glaucoma risk using data from the 2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

NSG-SGM3 humanized mouse models are well-suited for studying human immune physiology but are technically challenging and expensive. We previously characterized a simplified NSG-SGM3 mouse, engrafted with human donor CD34 hematopoietic stem cells without receiving prior bone marrow ablation or human secondary lymphoid tissue implantation, that still retains human mast cell- and basophil-dependent passive anaphylaxis responses. Its capacities for human antibody production and human B cell maturation, however, remain unknown.

Mast cells (MCs) rapidly adapt to the microenvironment due to the plethora of cytokine receptors expressed. Understanding microenvironment-primed immune responses is essential to elucidate the phenotypic/functional changes MCs undergo, and thus understand their contribution to diseases and predict the most effective therapeutic strategies. We exposed primary human MCs to cytokines mimicking a T1/pro-inflammatory (IFNγ), T2/allergic (IL-4 + IL-13), alarmin-rich (IL-33) and pro-fibrotic/pro-tolerogenic (TGFβ) microenvironment.

Objective: To investigate whether sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) with house dust mite (HDM) extract suppresses new sensitization to Japanese cedar pollen(JCP) in children with HDM-positive allergic rhinitis.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at our center and included pediatric patients aged 5-15 years who visited between January 2018 and December 2020. Eligible patients tested positive for HDM-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE), negative for JCP-specific IgE, and had no history of SLIT for cedar pollen.
