adverse effects  following immunization  to  vaccines (aefi)  are considered  extremely rare events, the occurrence of which could gain a major role in optimizing allergy diagnosis by cellular tests. the urgent need to eradicate infectious diseases from population, is the main goal of vaccination campaign, therefore its successful outcome should be almost undisputable. basophil activation test ...

introduction cow’s milk allergy is the most common food allergy in children. symptoms usually involve the skin and the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. gastrointestinal tract manifestations of cow’s milk allergy are nonspecific, and are the only type that can be diagnosed in all age groups. here, we report a rare case of cow's milk allergy in an infant with hypoalbuminemia and malnutrit...

abstract food allergy is estimated about 8% in children. the relationship between food and manifestation of allergy symptoms and its confirmation for accurate diagnosis is very important. allergic rhinitis is a common disease with a prevalence of 40% among different societies. the prevalence of food-induced allergic rhinitis appears to be less than 1 percent. food reactions often lead to rhinit...

Temperature jump studies of aqueous @-lactoglobulin have been conducted between pH 3.7 and 2.0, where a reversible dissociation of the protein into two identical subunits has been reported to occur, using methyl orange as an indicator. Two relaxation processes have been observed, both of which can be attributed to intramolecular interactions between the indicator dye and protein rather than to ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the humoral and cellular immune response against cow's milk proteins in Behçet's disease and to distinguish any behaviour during active or inactive disease. METHODS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 16 patients and from eight normal controls were cultured in the presence of phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), beta-casein, beta-lactoglobulin, or chicken egg albumin. Inter...

Residual antigenic protein in heat-denatured cow's milk whey and in two commercial infant milk formulas was determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays specific for beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, bovine serum albumin, bovine IgG1 and alpha-casein. This immunochemical assessment of antigenicity was related to the capacity of the preparations to sensitize immunologically when fed ...
