Protective anti-outer membrane protein immunity against Pasteurella pneumotropica infection of mice

The proteins examined were the homologues of the P4, P6, P26, and D15 proteins of Haemophilus influenzae.

Innate affairs of allergens

Activation of receptors of the innate immune system is a critical step in the initiation of immune responses.

Effects of Ser47-Point Mutation on Conformation Structure and Allergenicity of the Allergen of Der p 2, a Major House Dust Mite Allergen

The mutant Der p 2 had altered structure and reduced ability to stimulate pro-inflammatory responses and to bind IgE

A marked shift in innate and adaptive immune response in chinese immigrants living in a western environment

There is a marked shift in innate and adaptive immune responses in Chinese immigrants after living in a Western environment for several years

IgE and T-cell responses to house dust mite allergen components

Recent studies with synthetic peptides representing allergens and non-allergenic house dust mite proteins now offer new research avenues on HDM induced immune responses

Blueprint for the House Dust Mite

The completeness of the coverage of a genome assembly is a critical starting point for all genomic projects so considerable attention is given to the sequencing metrics, which showed high indicators of success.

Barriers and Considerations for Diagnosing Rare Diseases in Indigenous Populations

Advances in omics and specifically genomic technologies are increasingly transforming rare disease diagnosis. However, the benefits of these advances are disproportionately experienced within and between populations, with Indigenous populations frequently experiencing diagnostic and therapeutic inequities. The International Rare Disease Research Consortium (IRDiRC) multi-stakeholder partnership has been advancing toward the vision of all people living with a rare disease receiving an accurate diagnosis, care, and available therapy within 1 year of coming to medical attention. In order to further progress toward this vision, IRDiRC has created a taskforce to explore the access barriers to diagnosis of rare genetic diseases faced by Indigenous peoples, with a view of developing recommendations to overcome them.

Antibacterial antibody responses associated with the development of asthma in house dust mite-sensitised and non-sensitised children

We aimed to measure the antibody development to 2 bacteria in a birth cohort at high risk of allergic disease, and to assess which responses are asthma-linked.
