Macrophage Activation by the Polysaccharide Arabinogalactan Isolated From Plant Cell Cultures of Echinacea purpurea
TL;DR: In this paper, a highly purified polysaccharide from plant cell cultures of Echinacea purpurea, with a molecular weight of 75,000, was used to activate macrophages to cytotoxicity against tumor cells and micro-organisms (Leishmania enriettii).

TL;DR: There is an increasing need for allergen inhalation systems to perform basic clinical research and test anti‐allergic drugs under well‐controlled conditions, which requires stability of environmental conditions like temperature and humidity, as well as allergenic concentration and reproducible induction of allergic symptoms.

Endotoxin augments myeloid dendritic cell influx into the airways in patients with allergic asthma
Frank Schaumann,Meike Müller,Armin Braun,Birgit Luettig,David B. Peden,Jens M. Hohlfeld,Norbert Krug +6 more
TL;DR: Endotoxin augments the allergic inflammation in the lungs of individuals with asthma, and induces an enhanced influx of monocytes and functionally active antigen-presenting mDCs into the respiratory tract.

TL;DR: The surfactant protein SP‐D has been reported to reduce bronchial hyper‐responsiveness, blood eosinophilia, and T‐helper type 2 cytokines in models of allergic asthma, but little is known about the functional effect of SP-D on the early airway response upon allergen inhalation.
