Lower anti-echovirus antibody responses in children presenting to hospital with asthma exacerbations.This article assesses the absolute and specific antibody titres to VP1 antigens of the gut-trophic enteroviruses, echovirus 30 and Sabin 1 poliovirus, in...

Immunodominant T-cell epitopes in the VP1 capsid protein of rhinovirus species A and COur results indicate a dissociation between the antibody and T-cell responses to rhinoviruses

Reduced transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) in the repair of airway epithelial cells of children with asthmaEvidence into the role of TGF-β1 in airway epithelial repair in asthma is still controversial. This study tested the hypothesis that the reduced TGF-β1 levels previously observed in paediatric asthmatic airway epithelial cells directly contribute to the dysregulated repair seen in these cells.

Severe winter asthma exacerbations can be prevented by omalizumab, but there is no carryover effect.Recurrent severe asthma exacerbations are associated with decreased lung growth or accelerated loss of long function and add substantially to cost and morbidity

T regulatory cells in childhood asthmaAsthma is a chronic disease of the airways, most commonly driven by immuno-inflammatory responses to ubiquitous airborne antigens.

A case-crossover analysis of traffic-related air pollution and emergency department presentations for asthma in PerthTo determine whether changes in 24-hour average background ozone (O₃), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), carbon monoxide (CO) and particulates < 10 μm (PM₁₀) increase the

Does genetic regulation of IgE begin in utero?Elucidation of early life factors is critical to understand the development of allergic diseases, especially those manifesting in early life such as food allerg

Birth cohorts in asthma and allergic diseases: Report of a NIAID/NHLBI/MeDALL joint workshopPopulation-based birth cohorts on asthma and allergies increasingly provide new insights into the development and natural history of the diseases.
