World Allergy Week 2020 - 28 June - 4 July 2020

World Allergy Week 2020

The World Allergy Organization is proud to announce that World Allergy Week 2020 will occur 28 June - 4 July 2020 and will focus on the theme of "Allergy care does not stop with COVID-19."

Each year, the World Allergy Organization (WAO) addresses a different topic that has a need for greater awareness. To accomplish this, WAO provides physicians and the general public with a webinar, infographic, and additional information to educate and spread awareness on the topic. Additional details on these items will be coming soon.

Join us for a World Allergy Week webinar on 2 July 2020 at 8:00 am EDT. Time zone converter

Viral infections and wheezing–asthma inception in childhood: is there a role for immunomodulation by oral bacterial lysates?

Abstract

Severe and recurrent infections of the respiratory tract in early childhood constitute major risk factors for the development of bronchial hyper-responsiveness and obstructive respiratory diseases in later life. In the first years of life, the vast majority of respiratory tract infections (RTI) leading to wheezing and asthma are of a viral origin and severity and recurrence are the consequence of a greater exposure to infectious agents in a period when the immune system is still relatively immature.

Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibition effectively protects against human IgE-mediated anaphylaxis

Melanie C. Dispenza,1 Rebecca A. Krier-Burris,2 Krishan D. Chhiba,2 Bradley J. Undem,1 Piper A. Robida,2 and Bruce S. Bochner2

Abstract

No known therapies can prevent anaphylaxis. Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) is an enzyme thought to be essential for high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) signaling in human cells. We tested the hypothesis that FDA-approved BTK inhibitors (BTKi’s) would prevent IgE-mediated responses including anaphylaxis. We showed that irreversible BTKi’s broadly prevented IgE-mediated degranulation and cytokine production in primary human mast cells and blocked allergen-induced contraction of isolated human bronchi.
