Journal ArticleDOI

Methotrexate inhibits the first committed step of purine biosynthesis in mitogen-stimulated human T-lymphocytes: a metabolic basis for efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis?

TL;DR: In this paper, low-dose methotrexate (MTX) was shown to be cytostatic not cytotoxic, halting proliferation at G(1), which was associated with an inhibition of purine ribonucleotide synthesis but a stimulation of pyrimidine biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-10-secreting "regulatory" T cells induced by glucocorticoids and beta2-agonists.

TL;DR: Fluticasone proprionate and salmeterol increased IL-10 and reduced Th2 cytokine synthesis additively in allergen stimulated human CD4+ T cells and demonstrated an additive effect on this pattern of cytokine production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neonatal IgE: a poor screen for atopic disease.

TL;DR: IgE at 7 days is comparable to and more reliable than cord IgE, however, neonatal IgE screening is too insensitive to have clinical application.
Journal ArticleDOI

The subclass of IgG antibody in allergic disease: II. The IgG subclass of antibodies produced following natural exposure to dust mite and grass pollen in atopic and non-atopic individuals.

TL;DR: Data show that all subjects were capable of recognizing and mounting an IgG1 antibody response to these inhaled antigens, and that atopic individuals differed from normal subjects in the frequency with which they made IgG4 antibodies in response to natural exposure to both dust mites and pollen.
