Relationship between serum interleukin-22 levels and allergens in patients with type Ⅰhypersensitivity diseases / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate serum levels of interleukin(IL)-22 in typeⅠhypersensitivity disease patients with monosensitization and polysensitization,inhaled allergens and food allergens,and explore the correlation between IL-22 levels and allergens.Methods A total of 100 patients with typeⅠhypersensitivity disease and 30 normal controls were recruited in this study.Western blot and enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay were used to detect 19 types of allergens′ specific IgE antibody and IL-22 concentrations,respectively.Results Serum level of IL-22 was positive correlated with the number of sensitized allergens(r=0.318,P=0.001).The levels of IL-22 in polysensitization patients,monosensitization patients and normal controls were 24.52(20.41,29.27),22.02(15.25,25.59),18.06(16.02,23.04)pg/mL respectively.IL-22 in polysensitization patients(n=42) were higher than those in monosensitization patients(n=58) and normal controls(U=867.500 and 229.000,P0.05).Conclusion Serum level of IL-22 increases in type Ⅰhypersensitivity disease patients,was is positive correlated with the number of sensitized allergens.
