Lipid nanoparticles as delivery vehicles for the Parietaria judaica major allergen Par j 2
Parietaria pollen is one of the major causes of allergic reaction in southern Europe, affecting about 30% of all allergic patients in this area. Specific immunotherapy is the only treatment able to modify the natural outcome of the disease by restoring a normal immunity against allergens. The preparation of allergen-solid lipid nanoparticles as delivery vehicles for therapeutic proteins, P. jud...
متن کاملcDNA cloning, expression and primary structure of Par jI, a major allergen of Parietaria judaica pollen.
A 659 bp cDNA clone** coding for an allergen of Pj pollen has been isolated from a lambda gt11 library, and its DNA sequence determined. The cDNA insert showed an open reading frame of 429 bp coding for an allergenic protein of 14,866 Da and a deduced amino acid sequence containing 143 residues. The expressed recombinant protein represented the major allergen Par jI since it reacted with 95% of...
متن کاملIsolation, expression and immunological characterization of a calcium-binding protein from Parietaria pollen.
The diagnosis and therapy of allergic disorders are usually performed with crude extracts which are a heterogeneous mixture of proteins with different allergenic potency. The knowledge of the allergenic composition is a key step for diagnostic and therapeutic options. Parietaria judaica pollen represents one of the main sources of allergens in the Mediterranean area and its major allergens have...
متن کاملPCR-based cloning and immunological characterization of Parietaria judaica pollen profilin.
Profilin has been described as an allergen present in pollen of trees, grasses and weeds. Since Parietaria judaica profilin has a molecular mass similar to other Parietaria allergens (Par j 1 and Par j 2) in the 14-10 kDa range, it is difficult to assess the prevalence of profilin by immunoblotting or to obtain sufficient amounts of purified native profilin for investigation and diagnosis. The ...
متن کاملRecombinant hypoallergens for immunotherapy of Parietaria judaica pollen allergy.
Recombinant allergens are a promising alternative to crude allergen extracts for diagnosis and therapy of allergic diseases. Genetically modified allergen derivatives with reduced allergenic activity but retaining their immunogenicity have also been produced to increase safety and specificity of allergen-specific immunotherapy. When a limited number of allergens are responsible for most of the ...
