Background: High incidence and serotype diversity of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in Indigenous children in remote Australia led to rapid introduction of
Epidemiologic associations between viral lower respiratory infections (LRIs) and asthma in later childhood are well known
There is increasing evidence that the functional state of the immune system at birth is predictive of the kinetics of immune maturation in early infancy.
Atopy and asthma are commonly initiated during early life, and there is increasing interest in the development of preventive treatments for at-risk children.
This chapter describes the preparation of respiratory tract tissue from both mice and rats for the isolation of respiratory tract dendritic cells (RTDC).
Anti-viral innate immune responses may be impaired in asthma, although the mechanisms are not well understood.
This study compared the potency and immunomodulatory effects of measles mumps rubella (MMR) vaccine given to infants alone or in combination with varicella...
Allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (present in allergic sensitization) has a central role in the pathogenesis of allergic disease.
No reproducible associations with KIR2DL4 genotype were identified, leading us to conclude that the KIR2DL4 9A/10A polymorphism has no influence...
These findings suggest that this modified version of SLIT should be considered for retesting of mucosal-based immunotherapy for atopic asthma prevention.
