Development of transgenic rice expressing mite antigen for a new concept of immunotherapy.

abstract：:Most subjects without IgE to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus do not have IgG to Der p 1 or Der p 2 (as measured by RIA). However, by immunoblot or ELISA, IgG reactivity (mostly IgG1) to mite components is easily detectable. This discrepancy is caused largely by immune reactivity to mite components with a high molecular...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Elicitation of contact hypersensitivity requires antigen-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies that trigger recruitment of effector T cells to the local tissue. These antigen-specific IgM antibodies are produced by B-1-like 'initiator B cells'. In this study, we compared susceptibility to hapten-induced...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Mast cells (MCs) are multifunctional effector cells of the immune system. These cells originate from pluripotent hemopoietic progenitors. In contrast to basophils and other leukocytes, MCs exhibit a remarkably long life span (years) in vivo. Although a role for stem cell factor (SCF) and SCF receptor (KIT) i...
