  2. ncbi New insight into immunological mechanisms of venom immunotherapy
    P W Ewan
    Department of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Addenbrooke s Hospital, University of Cambridge Clinical School, Cambridge, UK
    Curr Opin Allergy Clin Immunol 1:367-74. 2001
    ..Immunostimulatory DNA sequences have an adjuvant effect and induce T helper type 1 cytokines, independent of antigen. They may be co-administered with allergen and used to redirect allergen-specific T helper type 2 responses...
  3. ncbi NHS allergy services in the UK: proposals to improve allergy care
    Pamela W Ewan
    Immunology Clinic, Addenbrooke s Hospital, Cambridge
    Clin Med 2:122-7. 2002
    ..As a first step, we propose the setting up of appropriately staffed regional allergy centres. This could be achieved with a central directive and (relatively minor) pump-priming of funding...
  4. ncbi Interleukin-10 levels increase in cutaneous biopsies of patients undergoing wasp venom immunotherapy
    S M Nasser
    Departments of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, University of Cambridge Clinical School, Cambridge, UK
    Eur J Immunol 31:3704-13. 2001
    ..These results suggest that induction of IL-10 may be important in VIT and occur independently of the switch to a Th1 phenotype. IL-10 generation may down-regulate IL-4 expression and eosinophil recruitment...
  5. ncbi The development and progression of allergy to multiple nuts at different ages
    Andrew T Clark
    Department of Allergy, Addenbrookes NHS Trust, Cambridge, UK
    Pediatr Allergy Immunol 16:507-11. 2005
    ..This is related to increased duration of allergy and exposure to multiple nut types with age. Children with nut allergy should avoid all nut types from the onset...
  6. ncbi Successful oral tolerance induction in severe peanut allergy
    A T Clark
    Department of Allergy, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Box 40, Addenbrooke s Hospital, Hills Roads, Cambridge CB2 2QQ, UK
    Allergy 64:1218-20. 2009
    ..Peanut allergy is common, potentially severe and rarely resolves causing impaired quality of life. No disease-modifying treatment exists and there is therefore a need to develop a therapeutic intervention...
  7. ncbi Patterns of immunoglobulin G responses to egg and peanut allergens are distinct: ovalbumin-specific immunoglobulin responses are ubiquitous, but peanut-specific immunoglobulin responses are up-regulated in peanut allergy
    S S Tay
    Department of Medicine, Cambridge University, Cambridge, UK
    Clin Exp Allergy 37:1512-8. 2007
    ..The clinical significance of food-specific IgG subclasses in food allergy and tolerance remains unclear. Specific IgG titres are often reported in non-standardized units, which do not allow comparisons between studies or allergens...
  8. ncbi Bee venom immunotherapy induces a shift in cytokine responses from a TH-2 to a TH-1 dominant pattern: comparison of rush and conventional immunotherapy
    S M McHugh
    Molecular Immunopathology Unit, Medical Research Centre, Cambridge, UK
    Clin Exp Allergy 25:828-38. 1995
    ..The mechanism of immunotherapy is unclear. Allergic disease is known to involve enhanced TH-2 cytokine responses to allergen...
  9. ncbi Interpretation of tests for nut allergy in one thousand patients, in relation to allergy or tolerance
    A T Clark
    Department of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Addenbrooke's Hospital, University of Cambridge Clinical School, Cambridge, UK
    Clin Exp Allergy 33:1041-5. 2003
    ..Understanding this is essential for accurate diagnosis. Patients with SPT > or = 8 mm and CAP > or = 15 kU/L were rarely tolerant so these levels are almost always (in > or = 95%) diagnostic...
  10. ncbi Opiate-sensitivity: clinical characteristics and the role of skin prick testing
    S M Nasser
    Department of Medicine, University of Cambridge Clinical School, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 2QQ, UK
    Clin Exp Allergy 31:1014-20. 2001
    ..CONCLUSION: Skin prick testing is not useful in the diagnosis of opiate sensitivity and placebo-controlled challenge should be considered...
  11. ncbi Differential regulation by thalidomide and dexamethasone of cytokine expression in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells
    T L Rowland
    Molecular Immunopathology Unit, Medical Research Council Centre, Cambridge, England, UK
    Immunopharmacology 40:11-20. 1998
    ..Due to their markedly different effects on cytokine production, and the fact that both drugs act at the level of transcription, we believe they influence separate pathways involved in cytokine gene regulation...

    A T Clark
    Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, UK
    Arch Dis Child 88:79-81. 2003

    A T Clark
    Department of Allergy, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge, UK
    Allergy 62:744-9. 2007
    ..Oral challenge is widely used for diagnosing food allergy but variable interpretation of subjective symptoms may cause error. Facial thermography was evaluated as a novel, objective and sensitive indicator of challenge outcome...

    P W Ewan
    Allergy Clinic, Cambridge University NHS Foundation Trust, Cambridge, UK
    Clin Exp Allergy 40:15-31. 2010
    ..We suggest this focus since there is a distinct lack of validated data for testing, thus requiring experience in interpreting tests and because of the serious consequences of diagnostic error...
