IgE Anti-Varicella Virus (VZV) And Other Immune Responses Before, During, And After Shingles

Methods Blood lymphocyte (CD4+, CD8+, CD19+, CD23+, CD16/56+) distributions, levels of serum immunoglobulins (IgM, IgG, IgE, IgA) and cytokines (IL-1β, IL-4, IL-10, IFN-γ), and IgE and IgG anti-VZV were studied in an atopic (skin test positive to pollen and dust mite antigens), serum IgE+ child (f...

Description
Summary:Methods Blood lymphocyte (CD4+, CD8+, CD19+, CD23+, CD16/56+) distributions, levels of serum immunoglobulins (IgM, IgG, IgE, IgA) and cytokines (IL-1β, IL-4, IL-10, IFN-γ), and IgE and IgG anti-VZV were studied in an atopic (skin test positive to pollen and dust mite antigens), serum IgE+ child (f, 15 y/o) with a past history of chicken pox (>10 years post infection), before, during and 5 months after "disappearance" of shingles (flow cytometry, nephelometry, UniCAP Total IgE Fluoroenzymeimmunoassay, VZV ELISA, western blot, cytokine ELISA).
