Maternal allergy status has no impact on neonatal immune responses to allergen stimuli
Lohonková, Adéla ; Hrdý, Jiří (advisor) ; Černý, Jan (referee)
The alarming increasing incidence of allergic diseases leads to the effort to identify the group of markers with prognostic potential pointing reliably to an allergy development at a later age. Identification of such marker or a group of markers pointing to a higher risk of developing an allergy would allow early implementation of preventive measures to block further development of the allergic disease. Umbilical cord blood appears to be the ideal biological material for the search for prognostic markers that are suitable for further study. The ability of umbilical cord blood cells to respond to stimulation by common allergens by producing cytokines according to a pattern dependent on the allergic status of the mother could be the predictive feature sought. The presented study focuses on the determination of cytokines typical for Th1- : interferon gamma (IFN-γ), Th2-: interleukin 5, interleukin 13 (IL-5, IL-13) a regulatory T cells (Tregs): interleukin 10 (IL-10) immunity responses at the level of gene expression by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) followed by determination of the protein production itself in the cell culture supernatant. Newborns were divided into two groups according to the allergic status of their mothers: children of healthy mothers (newborns with a...
