RESUMEN
The allergic condition is determined genetically and they affect of the general population's 20-30% in developed countries, in the last decade have been increased the prevalence. Inside the imbalance that is manifested in the atopic patients it is on one hand the antigen-presenting cells (monocytes and B cells) and on the other hand, the lymphocytes T CD4+. The association of molecules like CD80, CD 86 (co-stimulatory molecules) in monocytes and B cells and CD30, CD62L, ALL, CD11a, CD28, CD124 and CD152 in CD4+, they have shown to be of particular interest in allergic sufferings. However we don't find a difference statistically significant among patient and controls and among nasal challenges with saline solution with specific allergen. For what we suggest that the changes in the activation, proliferation and cooperation are given in the les ion place, without an apparent repercussion in cells of peripheral blood.

Using an immunoenzymatic assay (ELISA), 40 serum samples from the peripheral blood of women in labor and serum from the umbilical cord of their offspring were analyzed in order to detect the prevalence of antibodies against Giardia lamblia. The results show that 12.5% of the maternal serum samples and 15.0% of those from the umbilical cord had optical density values comparable to those positive for G. lamblia used in the assay. This suggests that important concentrations of maternal IgG antibodies for the parasite are transferred through the placenta. The role that these antibodies play in the neonatal protection is still to be determined.
