Allergy

The incidence of allergies is increasing, particularly in industrialized areas. Allergic inflammation can differ substantially in intensity. Traditional drug therapy such as antihistamines, corticosteroids, anticholinergic agents and leukotriene inhibitors is important in reducing and preventing symptoms and is essential in acute use. More recent therapies including anti-immunoglobin E (IgE) therapy, anti-interleukin (IL) monoclonal antibodies, and phosphodiesterase 4/phospholipaseA2 inhibitors, have improved outcomes. However, in order to develop more effective therapies, further research is needed into the molecular mechanisms underlying allergy onset, particularly in terms of intracellular reactions and the cytosolic Ca2+ balance.
