Th2-polarisation of cellular immune memory to neonatal pertussis vaccination

Current infant vaccination against pertussis in North America and Australia requires three doses of vaccines including diphtheria, tetanus and acellular...

Early immunological influences on asthma development: opportunities for early intervention

The developing immune system and allergy

Early aberrant antibody responses of aeroallergen sensitised people to subclinical bacterial infection

Early aberrant antibody responses, aeroallergen sensitised people, subclinical bacterial infection

Streptococcus pneumoniae colonization of the nasopharynx is associated with increased severity during respiratory syncytial virus infection in young children.

The present study aimed to clarify the effect of viral and bacterial co-detections on disease severity during paediatric ARI.

Functional differences in airway dendritic cells determine susceptibility to IgE-sensitization

Respiratory IgE-sensitization to innocuous antigens increases the risk for developing diseases such as allergic asthma.

Asthma is responsible for considerable global morbidity and health-care costs. Substantial progress was made against key outcomes such as hospital admissions with asthma and mortality in the 1990s and early 2000s, but little improvement has been observed

We aim to provide our view of where we are and where we need to go as a community of clinicians and researchers who tackle the public health problem of asthma.

Personalized transcriptomics reveals heterogeneous immunophenotypes in children with viral bronchiolitis

Dysregulated expression of IFN-dependent pathways after respiratory viral infections is a defining immunophenotypic feature of AVB-susceptible infants

Pregnancy Induces a Steady-State Shift in Alveolar Macrophage M1/M2 Phenotype That Is Associated With a Heightened Severity of Influenza Virus Infection

Pregnancy is associated with an alternatively activated phenotype of alveolar macrophage before infection
