RS2: a sugar beet gene related to the latex allergen Hev b 5 family.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel gene (RS2) has been isolated from a Beta vulgaris (cv. Regina) cDNA library. The expression of this gene was enhanced in the mature storage organ as compared to leaf tissue. The protein encoded by this gene was found to be alanine- and glutamic acid-rich and it resembles members of the latex allergen Hev b 5 family.

Syndrome latex-fruit: report of a case with cassava anaphylaxis
Background Actually, there are few reports of cross-reactivity between cassava and latex in the syndrome latex-fruit. Of allergens in the latex are identified particularly relevant to this case, recall some of them: Hev b 6.02, major allergen, Hev b 1, structural homology to papain, and Hev b 5, which could be responsible for the cross reactivity between latex and cassava by their structural si...
متن کاملTolerogenic Dendritic Cells Derived from Donors with Natural Rubber Latex Allergy Modulate Allergen-Specific T-Cell Responses and IgE Production
Natural rubber latex (NRL; Hevea brasiliensis) allergy is an IgE-mediated reaction to latex proteins. When latex glove exposure is the main sensitizing agent, Hev b 5 is one of the major allergens. Dendritic cells (DC), the main antigen presenting cells, modulated with pharmacological agents can restore tolerance in several experimental models, including allergy. In the current study, we aimed ...
متن کاملAllergenicity of latex rubber products used in South African dental schools.
BACKGROUND Latex sensitisation is recognised as a health problem among health care workers (HCWs) using latex products. The aim of this study was to quantify specific latex allergens in latex devices used in South African academic dental schools. The current study also compared the total protein content and the levels of specific allergens in these products. METHODS Fourteen latex examination...
متن کاملCross-reactivity of Food Allergens with Latex – Diagnostic and Clinical Implications
Considerable efforts have been undertaken to characterise the molecular features of Hevea brasiliensis latex allergens as a result of the high prevalence of latex allergy in well-defined risk groups such as health-care workers (HCW) and children with spina bifida (SB). Most of the latex allergens have been purified to homogeneity by conventional purification methods or by molecular cloning tech...
متن کاملComparison of Latex Skin Test Extracts
Background: Crude latex extracts are commonly used in skin prick tests (SPT) for the diagnosis of natural rubber latex (NRL) allergy. Nevertheless, variations in protein and allergen composition between latex extracts from different manufacturers can hamper a correct diagnosis. Objectives: To analyze the heterogeneity of proteins and allergens in latex extracts from 7 different manufacturers an...
