Description
Type I allergic diseases, such as rhinitis, pollinosis and bronchial asthma, are mediated by Th2-type helper T cell induction, specific IgE antibody production and mast cell activation. Increases of these allergic diseases in recent years might be caused by skewed differentiation of T cells toward Th2 cells by some environmental factors including diesel exhaust particles and decreases of virus and bacteria infection in childhood. The decrease of parasite infection is also thought to affect the susceptibility against allergic diseases by eliciting polyclonal IgE production that suppresses mast cell activation. Important clues for prevention and therapy of the allergic diseases would be derived from further investigations of the relationship between the diseases and these environmental factors.
