Evaluation of peach tolerance after one year of sublingual immunotherapy with LTP (Pru p 3) in allergic patients sensitises to food by LTPs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods Forty-six peach allergic patients confirmed as positive by skin test, ImmunoCAP IgE and/or a double-blind placebocontrolled food-challenge (DBPCFC) were included. After one year of treatment we evaluated peach tolerance with DBPCFC using 5, 40, and 120 g of fresh peach with a mixture of yogurt, orange juice, coffee dried, coconut, and oatmeal flakes. Placebo meals consisted of the same ingredients, without fresh apple.

Background Peach allergy is prevalent, persistent and potentially severe. LTPs (Pru p 3) and profilins (Pru p 4) are the main allergens involved in this kind of allergy in patients(pts) of Mediterranean area. The hidden presence of LTPs in foodstuffs and in other food involved in LTP syndrome can trigger severe reactions, including anaphylaxis. Thus, this type of allergy can be considered an im...

Non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are important pollen and food allergens in the Mediterranean area. Peach LTP Pru p 3 is considered as primary sensitizer inducing LTP cross-reactive IgE antibodies. Despite the evidence on the importance of Pru p 3, it is unclear whether reactivity to multiple LTPs is due to antibody cross-reactivity or to independent sensitization events. Aim of th...

Background IgE-mediated allergy to peach represents a frequent cause of severe anaphylactic reactions in Mediterranean countries. Pru p 3, a nonspecific lipid transfer protein (LTP) from peach, was identified as an important elicitor of IgEmediated food hypersensitivity reactions to peach. Specific immunotherapy is currently the only allergen-specific and disease-modifying treatment of allergie...
متن کاملPru p 3, a marker allergen for lipid transfer protein sensitization also in Central Europe
In the Mediterranean area, lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are important causes of plant-food allergies often associated with severe allergic reactions. There, peach LTP (Pru p 3) seems to be the primary sensitizer, whereas in Central Europe, little is known about the importance of LTP sensitization. In this region, allergen extract-based diagnosis is often complicated by co-sensitization to Bet...
