The allergic child.

Am Fam Physician

Published: February 1975

Allergies may cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting and pain, dermatologic manifestations, asthma and rhinitis. The most common offender among the foodstuffs is milk. Elimination diets are designed not only to remove the offending food but to identify it and to prevent new sensitizations. Canker sores, foul breath and even enuresis may occasionally be related to allergies.

The role of BATF in immune cell differentiation and autoimmune diseases.

Biomark Res

January 2025

Department of Laboratory Medicine, Institute of Medical Immunology, Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, China.

As a member of the Activator Protein-1 (AP-1) transcription factor family, the Basic Leucine Zipper Transcription Factor (BATF) mediates multiple biological functions of immune cells through its involvement in protein interactions and binding to DNA. Recent studies have demonstrated that BATF not only plays pivotal roles in innate and adaptive immune responses but also acts as a crucial factor in the differentiation and function of various immune cells. Lines of evidence indicate that BATF is associated with the onset and progression of allergic diseases, graft-versus-host disease, tumors, and autoimmune diseases.
