Open Access DOI:10.23937/2572-3308.1510043 Soybean, Gly m 4, and Birch Pollen Allergy Keiji Sugiura, MD, PhD and Mariko Sugiura, MD, PhD Article Type: Review Article | First Published: January 13, 2023 Several types of soy foods are consumed worldwide. Soybean products have shown some potential benefits for health, but soy allergy can cause life-threatening allergic reactions. Pollens of birch trees can be associated with food allergy-related disease such as pollen/food allergy syndrome. Birch pollen/food oral allergy syndrome is mainly caused by the immunological cross-reaction between pathogenesis-related protein (PR)-10 family such as Gly m 4 and the Rosaceae family....

Open Access DOI:10.23937/2572-3308.1510033 Kimihiko Okazaki Article Type: Case Report | First Published: August 13, 2018 According to the traditional concept of the contemporary Immunology, neither autoimmune diseases nor allergic diseases can be cured completely. Nevertheless, a fortunate coincidence led the author to discover a novel concept that eliminations of the causes of these diseases are possible. In other words, combinations of pathogenic antibodies with responsible cells, namely, cytolytic T lymphocytes in cases of autoimmune diseases and mast cells in cases of allergic diseases, can be decomposed by re...

Isaac Melamed and Melinda Heffron Article Type: Mini Review | First Published: July 01, 2016 The association between ADHD and allergy remains controversial. Our previous findings suggest that nerve growth factor may link the nervous and immune systems. The primary objective of this study was to determine if a combination of cetirizine + methylphenidate is effective in children with comorbid ADHD and allergic rhinitis. We also examined the role of nerve growth factor in these comorbidities. Our randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study enrolled 38 children diagnosed w...

Open Access DOI:10.23937/2572-3308.1510013 What is known about Oral Tolerance Smolkin YS and Grishchenko EA Article Type: Short Review | First Published: March 29, 2016 Healthy people are constantly exposed to foreign proteins but in contrast to allergic individuals they do not develop any immune response. Cornerstone of such difference is tolerance. Oral tolerance in allergic people is of highest priority. Oral tolerance is specific suppression of cellular and/or humoral immune responses to an antigen by prior administration of the antigen by the oral route. It may develop naturally or be allergen immunotherapy (AIT) induced....

Asthma is caused by multiple interacting genes, some having a protective effect and others contributing to the disease pathogenesis, with each gene having its own tendency to be influenced by the environment. At the end of 2010, 100 genes including IL-1R1,1RN, 3, 4, 5, 8RA, 9, 10, 12, 13, CTLA-4, and ADAM33, among others had been associated with asthma in six or more separate pop...
