Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-associated allergies are important immunologically mediated hypersensitivity diseases. Currently, more than 30% of the world’s population experiences allergies, including a broad spectrum of symptoms in different organs. Various cells belonging to the adaptive and innate immune cells orchestrate allergic inflammation and contribute to the pathogenesis of allergies. In addition to the measurement of allergen-specific IgE antibodies, there are several cell-based diagnostic tests for allergies. Furthermore, a variety of therapeutic strategies are currently being developed that target cells involved in allergic inflammation. Which therapeutic strategy will be the most effective and economical for the treatment and prevention of allergies in the future is an open question. This Special Issue is dedicated the role of immune cells in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of allergies.
