Saliva for COVID-19 testing: Simple but useless or an undervalued resource? (2021)
Journal Article
Pijuan-Galito, S., Tarantini, F. S., Tomlin, H., Jenkins, H., Thompson, J. L., Scales, D., …Denning, C. (2021). Saliva for COVID-19 testing: Simple but useless or an undervalued resource?. Frontiers in Virology, 1, Article 778790. https://doi.org/10.3389/fviro.2021.778790

During the COVID-19 pandemic, countries with robust population-based asymptomatic testing were generally successful in controlling virus spread, hence reducing hospitalizations and deaths. This effectiveness inspired widespread asymptomatic surveilla... Read More about Saliva for COVID-19 testing: Simple but useless or an undervalued resource?.

Array-based measurements of aero-allergen-specific IgE correlate with skin-prick test reactivity in asthma regardless of specific IgG4 or total IgE measurements (2021)
Journal Article
Hamed, A., Todd, I., Tighe, P. J., Powell, R. J., Harrison, T., & Fairclough, L. (2021). Array-based measurements of aero-allergen-specific IgE correlate with skin-prick test reactivity in asthma regardless of specific IgG4 or total IgE measurements. Journal of Immunological Methods, 492, Article 112999. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jim.2021.112999

© 2021 Elsevier B.V. Skin prick testing (SPT) and measurement of serum allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) are used to investigate asthma and other allergic conditions. Measurement of serum total IgE (tIgE) and allergen-specific IgG4 (sIgG4) may also be use...

Multiple Circulating Cytokines Are Coelevated in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (2016)
Journal Article
Selvarajah, S., Todd, I., Tighe, P. J., John, M., Bolton, C. E., Harrison, T. W., & Fairclough, L. C. (2016). Multiple Circulating Cytokines Are Coelevated in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Mediators of Inflammation, 2016, 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1155/2016/3604842

Inflammatory biomarkers, including cytokines, are associated with COPD, but the association of particular circulating cytokines with systemic pathology remains equivocal. To investigate this, we developed a protein microarray system to detect multipl... Read More about Multiple Circulating Cytokines Are Coelevated in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
