Ragweed pollen collected along high-traffic roads shows a higher allergenicity than pollen sampled in vegetated areas.
BACKGROUND Pollutants may affect pollen allergenicity and thus the prevalence of allergies. Although a few studies are available in literature, the connection between pollution and the allergenic potential of pollen has yet to be clearly defined. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of traffic-related pollution on the allergenicity of ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) polle...
متن کاملAnalysis of high allergenicity airborne pollen dispersion: common ragweed study case in Lithuania.
The appearance of ragweed pollen in the air became more frequent in northerly countries. Attention of allergologists and aerobiologists in these countries is focused on the phenomenon that Ambrosia plants found relatively sporadic but the amount of pollen is high in particular days. Over the latter decade, a matter of particular concern has been Ambrosia pollen, whose appearance in the air is d...
متن کاملAn Heterophile Factor in Ragweed Pollen
1. There is serological evidence that ragweed pollen antigen contains a factor which causes an increased hemolysin titre for sheep cells, when injected into rabbits. 2. It remains questionable whether the antigen absorbs normal rabbit hemolysins. It does, however, absorb anti-ragweed hemolysins, as demonstrated by hemolysis inhibition test. 3. Dilution and lyophilization (Mudd-Flosdorf method) ...
متن کاملIs ragweed pollen allergenicity governed by environmental conditions during plant growth and flowering?
Pollen allergenicity is one of the main factors influencing the prevalence and/or severity of allergic diseases. However, how genotype and environment contribute to ragweed pollen allergenicity has still to be established. To throw some light on the factors governing allergenicity, in this work 180 ragweed plants from three Regions (Canada, France, Italy) were grown in both controlled (constant...
متن کامل29 Allergic Rhinitis to Ragweed Pollen
BALF. IL-4 and IL-5 decreased significantly (P # 0.05) after AEBSF treatment while a significant (P # 0.05) increase was observed in IL-10 in BALF. Airway inflammation reduced significantly as revealed by lung histopathology, EPO activity and cysteinyl leukotrienes in BALF after treatment. AEBSF also suppressed oxidative stress in terms of 8-isoprostane in BALF. Among the treatment doses, 10 an...
