Allergens and molecular diagnostics of shellfish allergy
Shellfish belongs to "The Big 8" food groups causing allergy, which often does not outgrow during childhood. Shellfish is one of the main food allergens in adults and constitutes a diverse group of species subdivided into crustaceans and mollusks, which seem to include similar but also different allergens. Several pan-allergens are characterized in detail, including tropomyosin and arginine kin...
متن کاملDiagnostics in Hymenoptera venom allergy: current concepts and developments with special focus on molecular allergy diagnostics
BACKGROUND The high rate of asymptomatic sensitization to Hymenoptera venom, difficulty in correctly identifying Hymenoptera and loss of sensitization over time make an accurate diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom allergy challenging. Although routine diagnostic tests encompassing skin tests and the detection of venom-specific IgE antibodies with whole venom preparations are reliable, they offer ins...
متن کاملBenefits and limitations of molecular diagnostics in peanut allergy
Allergic reactions to peanut (Arachis hypogaea, Ara h) are caused by immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated sensitizations to various proteins. The stability and relative proportion of these proteins in peanut determine the risk of hazardous reactions. Hazardous sensitization to seed storage proteins [S2 albumins (Ara h 2, 6 and 7) > other seed storage proteins (Ara 1 and 3) > oleosins (Ara h 10 and 1...
متن کاملOcular Allergy
The eye is a common site of inflammation. Because the large majority of eye allergies involve the conjunctiva, the terms "ocular allergy", and "allergic conjunctivitis" are used synonymously. The clinical presentation of the various forms of allergic conjunctivitis can vary greatly, from mild symptoms unaccompanied by ocular signs, to severe disease with vision-threatening complications. Althou...
متن کاملPrecision medicine, technologies, and molecular diagnostics
Introduction: Genetics, cellular and molecular medicines are cutting-edge sciences and technologies that play an important role in improving human health and quality of life. In addition, medical and biological sciences have clearly shown that the onset of diseases differs from person to person due to their different genetic profiles and variations in molecular basis. Therefore, it is feasible ...
