immune responces to fungi

> (while chronic sinusitis is not usually considered a allergic

disease, people with the condition

also often have asthma and allergic rhinitis, giveing scientists a

reason to suspect a link)

I have a link for them " mycoTOXINS "

people with sinusitis respond adnormally to these harmless fungi?

Alternaria,aspergillus,penicillium HARMLESS??????

IMPORTANTLY, says Dr. Kita, the released cytokines represent both

major classes of cytokines-inteferon-gamma is in the Th1 group and IL-

5 and IL-13 are in the Th2 class.this is notable BECAUSE scientists

have thought that allergic reactions involve only Th2 cytokines.

THE CURRANT FINDINGS ADD TO AN EVOLVING UNDERSTANDING OF ALLERGIC

DISEASES THAT SUGGESTS SYMPTOMS MAY STEM FROM A COMBINATION OF TH1

AND TH2 CYTOKINES.

--------------------------------

I read that in viral diseases that Th1 cell disfunction can cause Th2

activation.

BUT SO FAR I'VE NOT FOUND ANYTHING THAT SAYS TH1 AND TH2 ARE SOLELY

DO TO ALLERGIC RESPONCES. GET REAL!!!!!!!

-------------------------------------

Hay fever provides Arthritis clue

T1 cells seem to play a role in maintaining immune health at a

cellular level,while T2 cells help trigger more generalized responces

such as sneezing or coughing

rheumatoid arthritis has been linked to a physiological preponderance

of T2 cells, while (allergic) diseases such as hay fever are T2 cell

directed.

cytokine production and Th1/Th2 balance, this shows Th2 as not only

being a allergic responce but a toxin responce

<http://www.endotext.org/adrenal/adrenal28/adrenal28.htm>

glutathione levels in antigen-presenting cells modulate th1 and th2

responce patterens

Mayo Clinic,1999

the term allergic fungal sinusitis is also inaccurate and should be

altered.

sorry, RA was linked to T1 cell activation not T2, thought that was

pretty interesting. it would be interesting to know which was more

prevelant in the mayo study.
