Egg introduction: differential allergic responses
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of egg protein preparations in clinical trials to reduce the incidence of egg allergy among infants includes a number of preparations of egg. These include whole egg, egg white protein, and egg yolk preparations. The study of the differential immune responses to these allergenic proteins in comparison is suggested as a future research area of investigation.

Background Egg allergy is one of the most common food allergies of childhood with an estimated prevalence of 2.6 %. Allergic reactions to egg may vary from atopic dermatitis to systemic anaphylaxis. Although traditionally the only treatment is dietary avoidance, oral immunotherapy (OIT) appears as a promising approach to induce eggtolerance. However, the immune mechanisms underlying this treatm...
متن کاملTiming of Allergenic Food Introduction to the Infant Diet and Risk of Allergic or Autoimmune Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Importance Timing of introduction of allergenic foods to the infant diet may influence the risk of allergic or autoimmune disease, but the evidence for this has not been comprehensively synthesized. Objective To systematically review and meta-analyze evidence that timing of allergenic food introduction during infancy influences risk of allergic or autoimmune disease. Data Sources MEDLINE, E...
متن کاملDifferences in allergenic potential of food extracts following oral exposure in mice reflect differences in digestibility: potential approaches to safety assessment.
An animal model for food allergy is needed to assess genetically modified food crops for potential allergenicity. The ideal model must produce allergic antibody (IgE) to proteins differentially according to known allergenicity before being used to accurately identify potential allergens among novel proteins. The oral route is the most relevant for exposure to food antigens, and a protein's stab...
متن کاملAdministering Influenza Vaccine to Egg Allergic Recipients
Introduction Renewed interest in the safety of administering egg-containing immunizations to egg allergic children and adults (EA) was prominent during the recent global pandemic of the H1N1 Influenza A virus in 2009-2010. The H1N1 Influenza A vaccine (H1N1), like the seasonal Trivalent Influenza Vaccine (TIV) is grown on embryonated chicken eggs, leading to concerns that residual contamination...
متن کاملTwo-step egg introduction for prevention of egg allergy in high-risk infants with eczema (PETIT): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
BACKGROUND Evidence is accumulating that early consumption is more beneficial than is delayed introduction as a strategy for primary prevention of food allergy. However, allergic reactions caused by early introduction of such solid foods have been a problematic issue. We investigated whether or not early stepwise introduction of eggs to infants with eczema combined with optimal eczema treatment...
