Asthma patients immune system respond differently with allergies

Researchers at the University of Chihuahua in Mexico report that the immune system of patients with asthma reacts differently to a challenge of joint laboratory, depending on their white blood cells were obtained in a time when suffering from seasonal allergic rhinitis or common movement of such symptoms when they were allergic. The study was presented by Dr. Irene Leal-Berumen Saturday, April 2 at the American Association of Immunologists scientific sessions Experimental Biology 2005 in San Diego.
Customize treatments for allergies and asthma, two diseases in the world that affect the quality of life and cause heavy economic burdens.

Thats why Dr. Leal-Berumen laboratory is interested in studying the different response of these cytokines inpatients with asthma, and if you have not been affected by allergies. The study included 10 patients with clinical diagnosis of allergic rhinitis or asthma also had.
Leukocytes were both rhinitis during and for a period in which patients have experienced symptoms of rhinitis, then cultured with a type of prostaglandin, a substance that causes inflammation of receiving it. In nine of ten patients with asthma, leukocytes
