Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitisation, asthma, and a modified Th2 response in children exposed to cat allergen: a population-based cross-sectional study.
Thomas A.E. Platts-Mills,John W. Vaughan,Susan Pollart Squillace,Judith A. Woodfolk,Richard Sporik +4 more
TL;DR: Exposure to cat allergen can produce an IgG and IgG4 antibody response without sensitisation or risk of asthma, and this modified T-helper-2 cell response should be regarded as a form of tolerance and may be the correct objective of immunotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exhaled breath condensate pH is a robust and reproducible assay of airway acidity
John W. Vaughan,Lina Ngamtrakulpanit,Thomas N. Pajewski,Ronald B. Turner,T A Nguyen,Alison Smith,Peter Urban,Stephanie Hom,Benjamin Gaston,John F. Hunt +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that in health, exhaled breath condensate pH is slightly alkaline, held in a narrow range, and is controlled by lower airway source fluid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression and activity of pH-regulatory glutaminase in the human airway epithelium.
John F. Hunt,Elizabeth Erwin,Lisa A. Palmer,John W. Vaughan,Neil R. Malhotra,Thomas A.E. Platts-Mills,Benjamin Gaston +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that glutaminase is expressed and active in the human airway epithelium and may be relevant both to the regulation of airway pH and to the pathophysiology of acute asthmatic airway inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of intervention in established allergy: Avoidance of indoor allergens in the treatment of chronic allergic disease
TL;DR: Complex issues regarding the efficacy of physical and chemical measures that target house dust mite, pet, and cockroach allergens in the home are discussed.
