The role of T cells in the regulation of IgE synthesis by human PBMC was studied. PBMC or separated and recombined populations of T and B cells from both normal and atopic donors were cultured for 10 days with and without cycloheximide. IgE and IgG synthesis were determined by specific RIA. IgE synthesis was detected in 0/30 non-atopic, 6/34 mildly atopic and 25/31 severely atopic subjects. Autologous T cells from 10/26 atopic donors, whose B cells synthesised IgE, significantly suppressed this IgE synthesis. The addition of allogeneic T cells from atopic or non-atopic subjects to atopic B cells resulted in greater suppression of IgE synthesis than the addition of autologous T cells. These data support the notion that atopic subjects have naturally occurring IgE isotype-specific suppressor T cells as well as suppressor T cells which can be activated during incubation with alloantigen.

Introduction And Objectives: The fractional exhaled fraction of nitric oxide (FeNO) is used in clinical practice for asthma diagnosis, phenotyping, and therapeutic management. Therefore, accurate thresholds are crucial. The normal FeNO values over lifespan in a respiratory healthy population and the factors related to them remain unclear.

Although the antiallergic properties of compounds such as CAPE, Melatonin, Curcumin, and Vitamin C have been poorly discussed by experimental studies, the antiallergic properties of these famous molecules have never been discussed with calculations. The histamine-1 receptor (H1R) belongs to the family of rhodopsin-like G-protein-coupled receptors expressed in cells that mediate allergies and other pathophysiological diseases. In this study, pharmacological activities of FDA-approved second generation H1 antihistamines (Levocetirizine, desloratadine and fexofenadine) and molecules such as CAPE, Melatonin, Curcumin, Vitamin C, ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, Toxicity) profiles, density functional theory (DFT), molecular docking, biological targets and activities were compared by calculating.

Introduction: A subtype of human mast cells (MCs) found in the skin and to a lesser extent in the lung and gut express a novel G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) known as Mas-related GPCR-X2 (MRGPRX2, mouse counterpart MrgprB2). In addition to drug-induced pseudoallergy and cutaneous disorders, MrgprB2 contributes to ulcerative colitis, IgE-mediated lung inflammation and systemic anaphylaxis. Interestingly, most agonists activate MRGPRX2 with higher potency than MrgprB2.

The deregulation of immune responses is what causes food allergy (FA) to occur. FA's cause is still unknown. The goal of this study is to investigate the mechanism how the impaired production of IL-10 occurs in peripheral naive B cells of patients with FA.
