Blueprint for the House Dust Mite

The completeness of the coverage of a genome assembly is a critical starting point for all genomic projects so considerable attention is given to the sequencing metrics, which showed high indicators of success.

Early nutrition and its effect on allergy development

Nutrition is one of the most easily modifiable environmental factors during early life that may play a role in allergic disease prevention.

The cat lipocalin Fel d 7 and its cross-reactivity with the dog lipocalin Can f 1

Fel d 7 is a common allergen in a Swedish cat-sensitized population that cross-reacts with Can f 1

House Dust Mite Allergens: New Discoveries and Relevance to the Allergic Patient

Recent findings on house dust allergens and their contribution to knowledge that will significantly impact current and future allergy treatments are appraised

Distinguishing benign from pathologic TH2 immunity in atopic children

In addition to its role in blocking TH2 effector activation in the late-phase allergic response, IL-10 is a known IgG1 switch factor

Western environment/lifestyle is associated with increased genome methylation and decreased gene expression in Chinese immigrants living in Australia

Chinese immigrants living in Australia for a longer period of time have increased overall genome methylation and decreased overall gene expression

Chronic cat allergen exposure induces a Th2 cell-dependent IgG4 response related to low sensitization

This study evaluated the relationship between cat allergen–specific biomarkers in adults with cat allergy with and without cat ownership.

Clinical Management of Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia in Neonates, Children, and Adolescents

Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of community and health care-associated bacteremia, with authors of recent studies estimating the incidence of S aureus bacteremia (SAB) in high-income countries between 8 and 26 per 100 000 children per year. Despite this, <300 children worldwide have ever been randomly assigned into clinical trials to assess the efficacy of treatment of SAB.

Dysfunctional gut microbiome networks in childhood ige‐mediated food allergy

The development of food allergy has been reported to be related with the changes in the gut microbiome, however the specific microbe associated with the pathogenesis of food allergy remains elusive. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize the gut microbiome and identify individual or group gut microbes relating to food-allergy using 16S rRNA gene sequencing with network analysis.
