Extractions: FDA Approves Omalizumab (Xolair), a Recombinant Anti-IgE Antibody, to Treat Moderate to Severe Allergic Asthma For Professionals Hot Topics articles are provided by AAAAI as a service to its members for educational and informational purposes only. They are provided solely on an "as is" basis and any use or reliance on the information contained in such articles is solely at the user's risk. Hot Topics articles are not intended to serve as the primary basis for making medical decisions.

As with all such resources, these articles reflect medical science at the time they are written; AAAAI assumes no responsibility to update these articles or to remove them from its web site as future developments occur. Date Omalizumab (Xolair) is a recombinant humanized monoclonal anti-IgE antibody that binds to IgE on the same Fc site as Fc R1. Omalizumab causes a reduction in total serum IgE in atopic patients, which attenuates the amount of antigen-specific IgE that can bind to and sensitize tissue mast cells and basophils. This, in turn, leads to a decrease in symptoms of allergic diseases. The monoclonal antibody contains 5% murine sequences (needed for the IgE binding portion) and 95% human residues from a human IgG 1 kappa framework. Omalizumab reduces the amount of free IgE (the unbound form present in the circulation) available to bind to Fc R1 receptors and results in a reduction in the expression of high affinity IgE receptors. Omalizumab does not bind to IgE already bound to effector cells.

Extractions: "Occupational asthma is a disease characterised by variable air flow limitation and/or airway hyper-responsiveness due to causes and conditions attributable to a particular occupational environment and not to stimuli encountered outside the workplace" (Bernstein et al 1993). Within this definition two types of occupational asthma can be distinguished: In the first instance, there is agreement, that the syndrome of chest tightness, wheezing, shortness of breath, dry cough etc, which appears after a latent period of occupational exposure constitutes occupational asthma. The second category of occupational asthma is that developing without a period of latency and often associated with exposure to high concentrations of irritants. Its symptoms may be somewhat different from that of asthma that follows a latent period. This is often referred to as Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome ( RADS It should be borne in mind that the airways that are afflicted by asthma are a continuation of the airways starting in the nose. It is therefore not surprising that many asthma cases also have rhinitis, (often preceding the asthma). Rhinitis literally means inflammation of the nose. Its symptoms are commonly those which the lay person associates with "hay fever" - an itchy, blocked or runny nose, often red and accompanied by sneezes. There may also be eye symptoms (itchy, glazed or runny). Thus

Extractions: WEB SERVICES: ATLANTA, Georgia (Reuters) African-Americans were significantly more likely than whites to experience childhood asthma, according to U.S. health statistics that showed on Thursday a widening racial gap among the young for the chronic lung disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said a 1998 survey found that black children were 31 percent more likely than white children to have had an episode of asthma or an asthma attack during the previous year.

Urticaria
General information on urticaria, what can trigger it, types and identification, and treatment from the American College of Allergy, asthma, and Immunology.
http://allergy.mcg.edu/advice/urtic.html

Extractions: Urticaria, commonly known as hives, usually strikes suddenly. First the skin itches, then it erupts into red welts. The itching may be severe, keeping people from working or sleeping. It's a distressing disorder which affects an estimated 20 percent of the population at one time or another in their lives. What is urticaria? Most cases of urticaria are acute, lasting from a few hours to less than six weeks. Some cases are chronic, lasting more than six weeks. The welts may appear in one place, disappear after a short time, then erupt at another spot, then another. They are made worse by scratching. Each individual hive lasts no more than 24 hours. What kinds of things can trigger attacks of urticaria? Bouts of urticaria have been traced to such triggers as infections, drugs (including aspirin), certain foods and additives, cold, sun exposure, insect stings, alcohol, exercise, endocrine disorders and emotional stress. In some people, pressure caused by belts and constricting clothing causes eruption. Urticaria may be a response to infection including the common cold, strep throat and infectious mononucleosis. In the urticaria-prone person, these triggers cause the body to release chemical mediators, including histamine, from cells. Histamine (which causes itchy, runny noses and watery eyes in hay fever sufferers) dilates the walls of blood vessels, allowing fluids to leak out into the surrounding tissues. Swelling and itching are the result.

Asthma Information
Information on symptoms and triggers.
http://www.mamashealth.com/asthma.asp

Extractions: What is asthma? Asthma is a disease that affects the lungs and the airways that deliver air to the lungs. It causes periodic attacks of wheezing and difficult breathing. Periodic attacks are caused by an oversensitivity of the lungs and airways, which overreact to certain "triggers" and become inflamed and clogged. Asthma is Greek for "panting". Asthmatics pant during an asthma attack because their air passages, which start in the throat and end in the lungs, become narrowed and sometimes almost completely obstructed. Asthma can develop at any age. An asthma attack occurs when the airways become inflamed in response to a trigger, such as dust, mold, pets, exercise, or cold weather. However, some attacks start for no apparent reason. Triggers may inflame the airways to the lungs , allowing disease-fighting cells to accumulate and causing swelling in the lungs. In addition, the airways may become blocked or obstructed when the muscles surrounding the lungs tighten or go into spasm. Spasms keeps air from circulating freely in the lungs. Mucus may also cause an asthma attack. Mucus may clog and narrow the airways in the lungs, making breathing even more difficult. Read a personal story about asthma Symptoms?

Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Glosssary
Words frequently encountered in literature on allergy and asthma.
http://allergy.mcg.edu/glossary/index.html

Extractions: Here are definitions of some of the words frequently encountered in literature on allergy and asthma. Please notify us if there are other words you would like added to the list. Allergy Allergies are inappropriate or exaggerated reactions of the immune system to substances that, in the majority of people, cause no symptoms. Symptoms of the allergic diseases may be caused by exposure of the skin to a chemical, of the respiratory system to particles of dust or pollen (or other substances), or of the stomach and intestines to a particular food. Anaphylaxis Anaphylaxis, or anaphylactic shock, is a severe, frightening and life-threatening allergic reaction. The reaction, although rare, can occur after an insect sting or as a reaction to an injected drug - for example, penicillin or antitetanus (horse) serum. Less commonly, the reaction occurs after a particular food or drug has been taken by mouth. Antibody An antibody is a protein (also called an immunoglobulin) that is manufactured by lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) to neutralize an antigen or foreign protein. Bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms commonly contain many antigens, as do pollens, dust mites, molds, foods, and other substances. Although many types of antibodies are protective, inappropriate or excessive formation of antibodies may lead to illness. When the body forms a type of antibody called IgE (immunoglobulin E), allergic rhinitis, asthma or eczema may result when the patient is again exposed to the substance which caused IgE antibody formation (allergen).
