Cross-reactivity of plant and animal allergens.
نویسنده
چکیده
This review will address cross-reactivity of pollen, fungal, and animal aeroallergens. In the 15 years or so that have transpired since similar reviews on pollen cross-reactivity were published, significant additional information both on cross-allergenicity and on plant systematics has become available (1,2). This review will attempt to incorporate those advances. Cross-reactivity among foods will only be discussed in the context of relationships to pollen allergens. Likewise, cross-reactivity of pharmaceuticals or latex will not be discussed.

Guidelines for using pollen cross-reactivity in formulating allergen immunotherapy.
There is a trend among allergen extract companies to diminish the number of individual extracts available for commercial use. This is driven in part by economic considerations and in part by constraints imposed by the US Food and Drug Administration. As much as 2/3 of previously manufactured extracts are or will no longer be available. In this setting, knowledge of pollen allergen interrelation...
متن کاملCurrent Overview of Allergens of Plant Pathogenesis Related Protein Families
Pathogenesis related (PR) proteins are one of the major sources of plant derived allergens. These proteins are induced by the plants as a defense response system in stress conditions like microbial and insect infections, wounding, exposure to harsh chemicals, and atmospheric conditions. However, some plant tissues that are more exposed to environmental conditions like UV irradiation and insect ...

متن کاملImmunological cross-reactivity between olive and grass pollen: implication of major and minor allergens
BACKGROUND Grasses and olive trees are the most common sources of allergenic pollen worldwide. Although they share some allergens, there are few studies analyzing the in vitro cross-reactivity between them. The aim was to define the cross-reactivity between Olea europaea and Phleum pratense using well-characterized sera of allergic children from Madrid, Spain. METHODS 66 patients (mean age 10...
