Alternaria and Cladosporium Fungal Allergen Epitopes are Denatured by Sodium Hypochlorite
BACKGROUND : Fungal allergens are ubiquitous; however, little progress has been made understanding fungal allergenic material removal from indoor environments. PURPOSE : We investigated removal of environmental allergenic material derived from Alternaria and Cladosporium using sodium hypochlorite in vivo and in vitro. METHODS : Freeze dried allergen extract from Alternaria alternata and Cla...
متن کاملSpecific Antibodies for the Detection of Alternaria Allergens and the Identification of Cross-Reactive Antigens in Other Fungi
BACKGROUND The mould Alternaria alternata is an important source of respiratory allergens. A. alternata extracts show great variations regarding allergenic potency. The aim of this study was to generate antibody probes specific for important Alternaria allergens and to use them to study allergen expression, depending on different culture conditions, as well as to search for cross-reactive aller...
متن کاملMould allergens: Where do we stand with molecular allergy diagnostics?
The official WHO/IUIS database (www.allergen.org) currently lists 77 mould allergens from a variety of protein families. To date, only eight recombinant single allergens from three mould species are available for molecular allergy diagnosis of mould sensitization. These include rAlt a 1, the major allergen in Alternaria alternata-sensitized individuals, and enolase rAlt a 6 with it potential cr...
متن کاملNew cause for false-positive results with the Pastorex Aspergillus antigen latex agglutination test.
The Pastorex Aspergillus antigen test for detection of Aspergillus galactomannan antigen in the sera of patients with invasive aspergillosis is used in many clinical laboratories. A serum sample contaminated with Penicillium chrysogenum gave a strongly positive reaction (1:128) which was heat stable, was not eliminated by pronase treatment, and was not detected by a normal rabbit globulin contr...
متن کاملA potent chitinolytic activity of Alternaria alternata isolated from Egyptian black sand.
Eight fungal species characterized by chitinolytic activity were isolated from Egyptian black sand collected from Rosetta coast. Genus Aspergillus and Alternaria alternata exhibited the highest density (> 40% of the total count, each) on the isolation plates containing different treatments of native shrimp shell chitin. Genus Aspergillus was represented by A. flavus, A. niger, A. foetidus and A...
