Enhanced human IgE production results from exposure to the aromatic hydrocarbons from diesel exhaust : direct effects on B-cell IgE production

Epidemiologic and experimental studies suggest that air pollution, and particularly diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) may play a role in the increasing prevalence and severity of airway allergic disease. We show that the extract of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from DEPs (PAH-DEP) enhances human Ig...
