The recent contributions to the mechanisms of regulation of IgE by cytokines has produced development of kits that are usable in IFN gamma in atopic dermatitis where we have fixed a significant basal level in contrast to a reference group, though there is no possibility of making a modification in asthma. However, this seems to us to be logical since this change of IFN gamma was studied in peripheral blood when the study should be made of broncho-alveolar lavage in asthma. The assay kits for IL4 lack performance and "realism" in their threshold level of detection. This study has also given comparison of the variation of the two cytokines in comparison with total and specific IgE.

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. Interferon Type II,Interferon, Immune,gamma-Interferon,Interferon, gamma,Type II Interferon,Immune Interferon,Interferon, Type II
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011852 Radioallergosorbent Test An in vitro allergen radioimmunoassay in which allergens are coupled to an immunosorbent. The coupled allergens bind the IgE in the sera of patients which in turn binds radioisotope-labeled anti-IMMUNOGLOBULIN E antibodies.

D003876 Dermatitis, Atopic A chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. It is manifested by lichenification, excoriation, and crusting, mainly on the flexural surfaces of the elbow and knee. In infants it is known as infantile eczema.
