Evaluation of a dipstick test (Allergodip-Latex) for in vitro diagnosis of natural rubber latex allergy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Previous studies suggest that administration of probiotics in vitro can stimulate regulatory and Th1 immune responses. We studied both the in vitro immunological effects of probiotics and the ex vivo immunological effects after oral administration of probiotics in children with food allergy, a Th2-mediated d...
