Predictors of adherence to sublingual immunotherapy for Japanese cedar pollinosis: a prospective analysis
Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) often has low adherence rates.
Skin prick testing a better predictor than blood testing for the diagnosis of peanut allergy in Chinese children
Peanut allergy is common in Chinese children, yet the most predictive diagnostic cut-offs for skin prick test (SPT) and blood testing in this population are unclear.
IgE-mediated cow’s milk protein allergy in Singaporean children
Cow’s milk protein allergy (CMA) is the second most common food allergy in Singapore. However, there is limited data on local paediatric CMA.
The sensitization characteristics of adult Chinese patients diagnosed with chronic respiratory diseases
The prevalence of allergen-induced chronic respiratory disease (CRD) is increasing annually.
Sensitization to house dust mite allergens might be related to the low sensitivity of ImmunoCAP to pollen allergen
Skin prick test (SPT) and ImmunoCAP are widely used to diagnose allergies. However, previous studies showed discordance between the results of SPT and ImmunoCAP and there remains a lack of research to better understand the differences in results between the two tests.
Patterns of sensitization to aeroallergens and their effect on airway hyper-responsiveness in Busan, Korea
Allergen sensitization and its influence on allergic disease can vary depending on ethnicity and geography.
Component resolved diagnosis of walnut allergy in young children: Jug r 1 as a major walnut allergen
Walnuts (WN) are one of the main causes of tree nut allergies. However, the potential value of component resolved diagnosis (CRD) for WN allergy is controversial.
Prevalence of small airways dysfunction in asthma with- and without-fixed airflow obstruction and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Small airways dysfunction (SAD) is not uncommon in asthma without fixed airflow obstruction (FAO).
Anti-BP180 and anti-BP230 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for diagnosis and disease activity tracking of bullous pemphigoid: A prospective cohort study
Autoantibodies against BP180 and BP230 play major roles in bullous pemphigoid (BP). We are the first to describe the values of serum anti-BP180 IgG and anti-BP230 IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for diagnosis and disease monitoring of BP among Thai patients.
A simple approach to identify functional antibody variable genes in murine hybridoma cells that coexpress aberrant kappa light transcripts by restriction enzyme digestion
Specific binding to target protein epitopes by a mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb) relies on its variable domains. However, the isolation of functional variable gene transcripts is sometimes hindered by co-expression of aberrant transcripts in hybridoma cells.
