Description
This thesis examined the impact of the clinically relevant allergen of Paspalum notatum grass pollen on allergic sensitization profiles in Australian allergic rhinitis patients, and on the immune response towards human rhinovirus in adults with grass pollen allergy, and adolescents with allergic rhinitis and asthma. This thesis demonstrates the difference in geographical distribution and immunological recognition between subtropical and temperate grass pollen allergen sources and the need for specific diagnosis and treatment. It also establishes an effect of grass pollen allergen on the innate immune response towards rhinovirus. These outcomes have implications for the co-management of allergic rhinitis and asthma.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
