Clinical relevance of IgE-antibodies to PR-10 proteins in patients with syndrome of oral allergy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background A considerable number of pollen-allergic patients develops allergy to plant foods, which has been attributed to crossreactivity between food and pollen allergens belongs to PR-10 proteins. The majority of these patients refuse from take the foods containing PR-10 explaining bad taste or sense of itch in the mouth syndrome of oral allergy (SOA). It is assumed that the primary is sensitization to pollen origin PR-10 proteins and induction of the IgE-aB to the fruit & vegetable origin PR-10 is secondary. The aim of the study: to measure the IgE-aB to PR-10 proteins in patients with SOA.

The Role of Anti-CCD Antibodies in Grape Allergy Diagnosis
Background: Allergens are mostly composed of glycoprotein structures. It is believed that glycan-specific antibodies may lead to false-positive reactions in immunoassays. In this study we investigated the glycosylation state of grape allergens as well as the presence of antibodies to cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (anti-CCDs) in sera from grape-sensitive individuals. Methods: Grape...
متن کاملUtility of Specific IgE to Ara h 2 in Italian Allergic and Tolerant Children Sensitized to Peanut
Emerging data suggest that measurement of serum IgE to peanut components can be clinically helpful and more accurate than IgE to whole peanut to predict peanut allergy. Not all studies have used prospective samples, multiple components and oral challenges. Currently, there are no data on this topic involving Italian children. 32 patients (23 males; median age 9 years) with reported history for ...

Food allergy can be defined as adverse, immunomediated reactions to foods that occur in certain individuals. Food allergy is being increasingly recognized as a public health problem over the last few decades. It has been estimated that up to 10% of children and less than 2% of adults suffer from some type of food allergy. The situation varies in different countries depending on dietary eating p...
متن کاملAnticardiolipin Antibodies in Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background: Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) can either occur as a primary syndrome or associated with other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) of IgG and/or IgM isotype in blood, measured by a standardized ELISA is the most acceptable laboratory criteria. APS IgG isotype, particularly IgG2 subclass is more strongly associated ...
متن کاملFractionation and identification of the allergic proteins in Aspergillus species
Background and Purpose: Allergy is an undesired immune response to non-pathogenic agents. However, some opportunistic microorganisms such as fungi can also cause allergy. Among those fungi, hyphae form of Aspergillus strains including A. fumigatus, A. flavus, and A. niger could be mentioned. In this study, we aimed to separate allergic proteins from Aspergillus strains and determine their ident...
