In asthmatic children without he egg allergy, spontaneous IgE production of PBMC showed 1.27 +/- 0.28 IU/ml (Mean +/- SE) and IgE production of Dermatophagoides farinae (Df) stimulated PBMC after which IFN-gamma decreased to 0.89 +/- 0.23 IU/ml (Mean +/- SE) (p < 0.001). IgE production of Ovalbumin (OVA) stimulated PBMC after which IFN-gamma showed no decrease. In asthmatic children with hen egg allergy, IgE production of OVA stimulated PBMC and IFN-gamma decreased to 1.0 +/- 0.52 IU/ml (Mean +/- SE). In spontaneous IgE production it was 1.61 +/- 0.91 IU/ml. (p < 0.05). IL-4 mRNA was expressed in spontaneous PBMC in asthmatic children, but not in healthy non atopic children. The expression of IL-4 mRNA was suppressed in Df stimulated PBMC followed by IFN-gamma in asthmatic children. In asthmatic children, IFN-gamma mRNA were expressed in Df stimulated PBMC after which IFN-gamma. And simultaneously IgE production in Df stimulated PBMC were suppressed by addition of IFN-gamma.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007073 Immunoglobulin E An immunoglobulin associated with MAST CELLS. Overexpression has been associated with allergic hypersensitivity (HYPERSENSITIVITY, IMMEDIATE). IgE
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

D007963 Leukocytes, Mononuclear Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules.

D001249 Asthma A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (RESPIRATORY HYPERSENSITIVITY), airway INFLAMMATION, and intermittent AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION. It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, WHEEZING, and dyspnea (DYSPNEA, PAROXYSMAL). Asthma, Bronchial,Bronchial Asthma,Asthmas

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
