De objective of this study is to analyse the effect of exercise on the levels of Ara h6 in the blood after peanut consumption. Next to this we would like to know whether these levels found are in associated with the measure of intestinal…

PreCARA: Preconception Counselling in Active Rheumatoid Artritis and other chronic inflammatory arthritides;
Preconception counselling for women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or another chronic inflammatory arthritis and a pregnancy wish, which is evaluated in a prospective observational study monitoring pregnancy, delivery, postpartum period of the mother, and (growth) parameters of the child.

In the present study we will evaluate the standardized care protocol developed in our outpatient clinic, intended to guide counselling for medication use prior to pregnancy. This protocol guides treatment decisions based on disease activity,…

The effect of Alphabodies® against human lnterleukin lL23 in the transplant model of psoriasis, in which a psoriatic lesion is induced in non-lesional skin transplanted onto immune-deficient (BNX) mice by injecting super-antigen activated peripheral blood cells intradermally into the transplant.

Are Alphabodies against IL23 effecive in the transplant model of psoriasis
