Allergic Airway Sensitization Impairs Bacterial Specific IgG and Correlates with Increased Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Persistence
The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology
In a study of the long-term effects of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in mice, we found that if animals had been previously sensitized with ovalbumin to produce allergic airway disease, their IgG antibody responses to the infection at 30 days were reduced by half compared to unsensitized controls. This impairment of antibody responses to bacterial infection was also observed when we infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae. Surprisingly, M. pneumoniae also significantly decreased inflammatory cytokines in…

This impairment of antibody responses to bacterial infection was also observed when we infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae. Surprisingly, M. pneumoniae also significantly decreased inflammatory cytokines in airway fluid and almost completely ablated airway hyperreactivity to methacholine challenge.
