The effect of specific immunotherapy during pregnancy was studied in 14 children, 3 to 12 years after delivery. Fourteen additional children from the same allergic mothers, in whom immunotherapy was not given during the pregnancy, served as controls. The immediate skin test response to grass allergens of the children of mothers given immunotherapy. Levels of rye I IgG and total IgE were lower in the sera of children born to mothers who received immunotherapy (not statistically significant) than their control cohorts. Paired cord blood and maternal blood samples drawn at delivery showed similar levels of rye I IgG, indicating that blocking antibody freely crosses the placenta. This evidence indicates that immunotherapy during pregnancy may have an inhibitory effect on immediate skin reactivity to grass allergens in some of the offspring. Whether tolerance to other allergens can be induced in children by maternal immunotherapy remains to be determined.

Background: The optimal timing of vaccination with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines after cellular therapy is incompletely understood. The objectives of this study are to determine whether humoral and cellular responses after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination differ if initiated <4 months versus 4-12 months after cellular therapy.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter, prospective, observational study at 30 cancer centers in the United States.
Background: The optimal timing of vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 vaccines after cellular therapy is incompletely understood.
Objective: To describe humoral and cellular responses after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination initiated <4 months versus 4-12 months after cellular therapy.
Design: Multicenter prospective observational study.

Background: While the link between foods and chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is controversial, many immunological mechanisms have been proposed to establish a causal relationship.
Objective: To explore the potential benefit of avoiding immunoglobulin G (IgG)-mediated food hypersensitivity as a triggering factor in a case with CSU.
History: The patient is a 50-year-old woman who complained of CSU for 1 and half year, which responded partially and temporarily to antihistamine medications.
Background: The optimal timing for SARS-CoV-2 vaccines within the first year after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is poorly understood.
Methods: We conducted a prospective, multicentre, observational study of allogeneic HCT recipients who initiated SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations within 12 months of HCT. Participants were enrolled at 22 academic cancer centers across the United States.

One of the main issues of the peculiarities of the immune reactions of the gastrointestinal tract is the mechanisms of ensuring tolerance to food antigens. Concentrations of antibodies to food antigens actually reflect the state of the intestinal mucosa barrier function, and the degree of penetration of antigens into the blood determines the level of immune response to them. of the study was to determine the risk criteria for violation of tolerance to food antigens.
