Alder pollen of Alnus spaethii at christmas: from epidemiology of molecular allergens to the political solution

چکیده
Methods IgE antibodies to 103 molecular allergens were measured (using ImmunoCAP ISAC) in serum samples obtained from 54 students in 1986 and from 46 students in 2006. In 2010, 12 of the former students from 1986 with positive IgE antibodies to inhalant allergens where retested. Along the main boulevard in Buchs 96 hybrid trees (Alnus spaethii) were planted 1995-2000. Atmospheric pollen levels were measured in Buchs since 1984, phenological observation since 2009.

Risk assessment of outdoor airborne biological allergens in India: A review
Airborne biological allergens trigger an allergic response required for the development of atopic disease. Biological allergens are released into the air by wind, rain and active discharge mechanisms. In this review article an attempt has been made to evaluate the published literature on prevalence and types of air borne allergens in India. Important pollen allergens reported from India were: P...

This study compares phenological observations of Corylus (hazel) and Alnus (alder) flowering with airborne pollen counts of these taxa recorded using volumetric spore traps (2009-2011). The work was carried out in the Polish cities of Szczecin and Rzeszów that are located in different climatic regions. Correlations between pollen concentrations and meteorological data were investigated using Sp...

Recent developments in sequencing technologies and bioinformatics analyses provide an unprecedented opportunity for cost and time effective high quality microsatellite marker discovery in nonmodel organisms for which no genomic information is available. Here, we use shotgun pyrosequencing of a microsatellite-enriched library to develop, for the first time, microsatellite markers for Alnus gluti...

BACKGROUND Subcutaneous immunotherapy has been the principal approach of immunotherapy in the treatment of allergic diseases. Several clinical studies with birch, alder or hazel pollen extract conducted as subcutaneous immunotherapy have been published suggesting a well-tolerated and clinically effective treatment. Only a few clinical studies of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) with these allerg...
متن کاملClinico-immunologic evaluation of allergy to Himalayan tree pollen in atopic subjects in India--a new record.
Exposure to local pollen allergens has a direct bearing on the prevalence of allergic symptoms among the inhabiting atopic population. The populations in the Himalayas and around it are exposed to a variety of pollen grains from trees growing in the region, but the pollen-population interaction has not been clinically investigated. Himalayan tree pollen from five different taxa, i.e. Alnus niti...
