The aim of this pilot study is to establish Th1/Th2/Th17 patterns in healthy controls by analysing cytokine concentrations in nasal fluid (nasal wash and cotton wool method), saliva and blood. This will be done in order to give an estimation about…
The aim of the study is to identify patients with selective gamba-allergy and sensitization patterns for the various allergens in gamba extracts. Comparing sensitization patterns between patients who clinically react to Gamba with patients having a…
This study aims to determine whether the ILC populations differ in the lungs of different phenotypes of asthmatic patients and healthy subjects and how these cells are regulated by bronchial epithelial cells. Furthermore we want to study how this is…
The objective of this study is to test our hypothesis:Hypothesis - We postulate that the development of asthma in preschool children can be captured during the first 2 years of life by a minimally invasive *fingerprint* based on the combination of:…
Primary endpoint:Measuring lymphocyte response in patients with suspected pulmonary bird fanciers lung by ELISPOT technique.
The aim of this study is to develop and validate the basophil activation test by flow cytometry in our hospital as an extra diagnostic procedure for patients, who can not be diagnosed with existing tests or who have the risk of developing…
We hypothesize that expiratory VOC-analysis by electronic nose is capable of:1. Discriminating between asymptomatic infants and infants with respiratory wheeze.2. Discriminating between parent-reported and doctors-confirmed wheezy infants.The aim of…

To evaluate the agreement between the results of four diagnostic tests for metal allergy (in vivo patch tests, resp. Lymfocyte Proliferation Test (LPT), a modified LPT (MELISA®), and the Lymfocyte Cytokine Production Test (LCPT), and the clinical…
The aim of this pilot study is to validate potential biomarkers which diagnose patients who will benefit from asthma treatment with macrolide therapy by using non-invasively collected body fluid specimens. Th1/Th2/Th17 patterns in patients suffering…
Upregulation of the inflammatory response in skin of patients with atopic dermatitis, psoriasis or cutaneous LE coincides with the expression and secretion of a distinct set of proinflammatory markers, including cytokines, chemokines and soluble…
This project will investigate whether a BAT with nasal fluid is suitable for predicting therapy effect at an early stage.
The goal of this study is developing a non-invasive method to test for a specfic allergy using fingermarks.
