Abstract:
The prevalence of allergic diseases is rising globally, and these diseases often follow a sequential pattern of disease onset in childhood, beginning with atopic dermatitis, followed by food allergy, asthma, and allergic rhinitis. Here, we present a protocol for modeling this "atopic march" in mice. We describe the steps for inducing atopic dermatitis-like skin inflammation through Staphylococcus aureus epicutaneous exposure. We then detail procedures for eliciting lung inflammation via skin allergen sensitization and subsequent intratracheal allergen elicitation in the lungs. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Kline et al.1.

Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

01:25Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
