TL;DR: It is assumed that α-livetin (chicken serum albumin) leads to a cross-sensitization and consequently to the "bird-egg syndrome," as common epitopes of budgerigar and hen feather and egg yolk α- livetin are demonstrated.

TL;DR: It is concluded that not only LPS but also TNF-&agr; and IL-6 have the potency to regulate the immune response via TLR-4 and can increase the responsiveness of mononuclear phagocytes.

TL;DR: By combining isolation techniques including elutriation, magnetic cell depletion and cell sorting with mAb, functionally intact normal human basophils and mast cells can be enriched to homogeneity.

TL;DR: IgE immunoblot analysis revealed that cow milk-allergic patients exhibited IgE binding to the milk allergens casein, beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lacticalbumin and bovine serum albumin, and inhibition studies revealed the cross-reactive nature of the IgE antibodies.

TL;DR: The proportion of CD19+, CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ cells among circulating lymphocytes in Graves' disease and autoimmune hypothyroidism vs healthy subjects was analyzed and it was observed that, irrespective of age, both patients with GD and those with AH had an increased percentage of the CD25+CD45RA+ (naive) subpopulation of helper cells vshealthy subjects.
