Title in Portuguese
Interação entre anticorpos específicos e células dendríticas de pacientes alérgicos.

Abstract in Portuguese
A atopia caracteriza-se pela tendência de um indivíduo a produzir IgE em quantidade elevada, em resposta a um alérgeno específico, levando ao desenvolvimento de asma, rinite ou eczema. Todavia, a manifestação do fenótipo da alergia depende da interação de fatores genéticos e exposição a alérgenos ambientais. Desta forma, o alérgeno é processado e apresentado aos linfócitos T, que desenvolvem uma resposta imune Th2, exacerbada característica da atopia. A principal célula que está envolvida na comunicação entre a imunidade inata e adaptativa é a célula dendrítica (DC) cuja função é capturar, processar e apresentar o antígeno aos linfócitos. As DCs imaturas capturam o antígeno e migram do tecido para o órgão linfóide periférico, onde elas se diferenciam em DCs maduras e apresentam o antígeno aos linfócitos T naive. Assim, os linfócitos T naive podem se diferenciar em subtipos de linfócitos efetores como: linfócitos Th1 e Th2. Esses linfócitos auxiliam na produção de anticorpos pelos linfócitos B na resposta imune humoral contra patógenos específicos. O sistema imune humoral compreende cinco classes de imunoglobulinas: IgG, IgM, IgD, IgE e IgA e sua produção sofre influência da imunidade celular. Desta forma, alérgenos provenientes de ácaros como, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, podem levar à inflamação alérgica, alterando a produção de anticorpos. Tendo em vista evidências que demonstram a interação das DCs com anticorpos, propomos investigar sua influência na apresentação dos principais alérgenos da poeira domiciliar e sua modulação sobre a resposta imune em indivíduos alérgicos e não alérgicos.

Abstract in English
Atopy is characterized by the trend of an individual to produce high amounts of IgE in response to a specific allergen, leading to the development of asthma, rhinitis or eczema. However, the manifestation of the allergy phenotype depends on the interaction of genetic factors and exposure to environmental allergens. In this way, the allergen is processed and presented to the T lymphocytes, which develop a Th2 immune response, exacerbated characteristic of atopy. The main cell that is involved in the communication between innate and adaptive immunity is the dendritic cell (DC) whose function is to capture, process and present the antigen to lymphocytes. Immature DCs capture the antigen and migrate from the tissue to the peripheral lymphoid organ, where they differentiate into mature DCs and present the antigen to naive T lymphocytes. Thus, naive T lymphocytes can differentiate into subtypes of effector lymphocytes such as Th1 and Th2 lymphocytes. These lymphocytes assist in the production of antibodies by B lymphocytes in the humoral immune response against specific pathogens. The humoral immune system comprises five classes of immunoglobulins: IgG, IgM, IgD, IgE and IgA and their production is influenced by cellular immunity. In this way, allergens from mites such as Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, can lead to allergic inflammation, altering the production of antibodies. In view of evidence demonstrating the interaction of DCs with antibodies, we propose to investigate their influence on the presentation of the main house dust allergens and their modulation on the immune response in allergic and non-allergic individuals.
