Nanoparticle conjugation enhances the immunomodulatory effects of intranasally delivered CpG in house dust mite-allergic mice

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Benjamin John Marsland, Alexandre de Titta, Marie Ballester, Laura Jeanbart

An emerging strategy in preventing and treating airway allergy consists of modulating the immune response induced against allergens in the lungs. CpG oligodeoxynucleotides have been investigated in airway allergy studies, but even if promising, efficacy re ...

Microbiological characterization of 3193 French dwellings of Elfe cohort children

François Gillet

Although exposure to indoor microorganisms in early life has already been associated with respiratory illness or allergy protection, only a few studies have performed standardized samplings and specific microbial analysis. Moreover, most do not target the ...

The Intestinal Microbiota Contributes to the Ability of Helminths to Modulate Allergic Inflammation

Jacques Rougemont, Laure Menin, Nicola Harris, Alessandra Piersigilli, Benjamin John Marsland, Mario Michael Zaiss, Ilaria Mosconi, Lalit Kumar Dubey, Alexis Rapin, Luc Xavier Marie Lebon, Andrew J. Macpherson

Intestinal helminths are potent regulators of their host's immune system and can ameliorate inflammatory diseases such as allergic asthma. In the present study we have assessed whether this anti-inflammatory activity was purely intrinsic to helminths, or w ...

Component-resolved diagnostic of cow’s milk allergy by immunoaffinity capillary electrophoresis – matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry

Hubert Girault, Natalia Gasilova

Component-resolved diagnostic (CRD) of cow’s milk allergy has been performed using immunoaffinity capillary electrophoresis (IACE) coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS). First, total IgE quantification in the ...

Mucosal immune responses following intestinal nematode infection

Nicola Harris

In most natural environments, the large majority of mammals harbour parasitic helminths that often live as adults within the intestine for prolonged periods (1-2years) . Although these organisms have been eradicated to a large extent within westernized hum ...

Gut microbiota metabolism of dietary fiber influences allergic airway disease and hematopoiesis

Eva Sabrina Gollwitzer, Nicola Harris, Benjamin John Marsland

Metabolites from intestinal microbiota are key determinants of host-microbe mutualism and, consequently, the health or disease of the intestinal tract. However, whether such host-microbe crosstalk influences inflammation in peripheral tissues, such as the ...

Total serum IgE quantification by microfluidic ELISA using magnetic beads

Hubert Girault, Anne-Laure Gassner

The present work reports on the quantification of total IgE in human serum using a microanalytical device whose fluidics is driven by gravity and capillary forces only. Thanks to the eight parallel microchannels in each microchip, calibration and sample an ...
