Abstract: The sulfated oxysterol 5-cholesten-3?, 25-diol 3-sulphate, a nuclear cholesterol metabolite that decreases lipid biosynthesis and increases cholesterol secretion and degradation, is provided as an agent to lower intracellular and serum cholesterol and/or triglycerides, and to prevent or treat lipid accumulation-associated inflammation and conditions associated with such inflammation. Methods which involve the use of this sulfated oxysterol to treat conditions associated with high cholesterol and/or high triglycerides and/or inflammation (e.g. hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases, atherosclerosis, etc.) are also provided.

Abstract: The disclosure describes the presence of antitryptase autoantibody-tryptase immune complexes (the immune complexes) in sera of patients with immediate hypersensitivity diseases. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for diagnosing of the diseases by detecting of the immune complex. More specifically the present invention includes the discovery of antitryptase autoantibody-tryptase immune complex in anaphylaxis sera and establishment of enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for detection of the antitryptase autoantibody-mast cell tryptase immune complex in sera of patients with anaphylaxis. The immune complexes can be used as a target for therapy of the immediate hypersensitivity diseases. The pathophysiological mechanism is provided.
