About this trial
This is an interventional basic science trial for Asthma
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Mild asthma, adults - Exclusion Criteria: children. on inhaled or systemic steroids -
Sites / Locations
- UNM HSC
Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
xolair
Arm Description
This is a single arm, parallel study examining differences of therapeutic outcomes of Xolair. Xolair is being examined as an intervention that might change the outcome of immunization.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Anti-KLH Antibody. This is Measured by ELISA and Expressed as ELISA Units Which Are Derived by Dilution of Serum Samples Until the Result Falls on a Linear Portion of the Response Curve. Final Values Are Derived From ELISA Units and the Serum Dilution
Asthma and control patients are immunized with KLH. Mean levels of anti-KLH antibody as described above. This is measured by ELISA and expressed as ELISA units which are derived by dilution of serum samples until the result falls on a linear portion of the response curve. Final values are derived from ELISA units and the serum dilution

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
We are using anti-IgE to investigate the role of pulmonary mast cells in asthma.
Detailed Description
Subjects with mild allergic asthma are examined before, immediately after and 2 months after a course of treatment with anti-IgE. The following are examined: Allergen skin tests, allergen induced asthma, peripheral blood basophils, pulmonary bronchial mucosal mast cells.
