Epidemiologic associations between viral lower respiratory infections (LRIs) and asthma in later childhood are well known
There is increasing evidence that the functional state of the immune system at birth is predictive of the kinetics of immune maturation in early infancy.
Atopy and asthma are commonly initiated during early life, and there is increasing interest in the development of preventive treatments for at-risk children.
This chapter describes the preparation of respiratory tract tissue from both mice and rats for the isolation of respiratory tract dendritic cells (RTDC).
Anti-viral innate immune responses may be impaired in asthma, although the mechanisms are not well understood.
This study compared the potency and immunomodulatory effects of measles mumps rubella (MMR) vaccine given to infants alone or in combination with varicella...
Although debate surrounding the mechanism or mechanisms governing this causal pathway remains intense, demonstration of the capacity of pretreatment...
Lung inflammation resulting from ARIs during infancy is linked to asthma development.
Human peripheral blood monocytes were differentiated into uncommitted macrophages (M0) and then polarized to M1 and M2 phenotypes using LPS/IFN-gamma...
Our findings suggest that positive HDM 'allergy tests' and asthma are associated with a broad range of immunophenotypes, which may have important...
