Macadamia Nut-Specific IgE Levels Predict Anaphylaxis

Proteins residing in tree nuts are mistakenly treated as harmful by the immune system, which then releases antibodies to combat them. Chemical reaction triggers within protein substances, mast cells and histamines produced by immune system resulting in allergic symptoms. More...

Immune Regulators Predict Severity of Plasmodium vivax Malaria

Cytokines and chemokines are immune response molecules that display diverse functions, such as inflammation and immune regulation. In Plasmodium vivax infections, the uncontrolled production of these molecules is thought to contribute to pathogenesis and has been proposed as a possible predictor for disease complications.
