Cyclooxygenase 2: its regulation, role and impact in airway inflammationClinical and Experimental Allergy - Tập 46 Số 3 - Trang 397-410 - 2016
Nowshin N. Rumzhum, Alaina J. Ammit
SummaryCyclooxygenase 2 (COX‐2: official gene symbol – PTGS2) has long been regarded as playing a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of airway inflammation in respiratory diseases including asthma. COX‐2 can be rapidly and robustly expressed in response to a diverse range of pro‐inflammatory cytokines and mediators. Thus, increased levels of COX‐2 protein and prostan...... hiện toàn bộ
Immunoglobulin G4: an odd antibodyClinical and Experimental Allergy - Tập 39 Số 4 - Trang 469-477 - 2009
Rob C. Aalberse, Steven O. Stapel, Janine Schuurman, Theo Rispens
SummaryDespite its well‐known association with IgE‐mediated allergy, IgG4 antibodies still have several poorly understood characteristics. IgG4 is a very dynamic antibody: the antibody is involved in a continuous process of half‐molecules (i.e. a heavy and attached light‐chain) exchange. This process, also referred to as ‘Fab‐arm exchange’, results usually in asymm...... hiện toàn bộ
