TL;DR: It is apparent that the effects of viral respiratory infections on the development of airway hyperresponsiveness are multiple and interrelated and involved the production of viral specific IgE, upregulation of leukocyte inflammatory activity, enhancement of the factors involved in the generation of late phase allergic responses, altered beta-adrenergic and cholinergic nervous system activity, and damage to the airway epithelium.

TL;DR: Methods to obtain rat eosinophils with purity and viability exceeding 90%, characterized the superoxide anion production of these cells in response to standard activators, and compared these results with those previously obtained with the use of human eos inophils are developed.

TL;DR: An exploratory field study with a modified grass allergen subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) product using MicroCrystalline Tyrosine (MCT) and Monophosphoryl Lipid A (MPL) as an adjuvant system was conducted to optimize a planned pivotal Phase III study as discussed by the authors .
