The Fold Variant BM4 Is Beneficial in a Therapeutic Bet v 1 Mouse Model
BACKGROUND Specific immunotherapy using recombinant allergens is clinically effective; still wild-type allergens can provoke treatment-induced side effects and often show poor immunogenicity in vivo. Thus, we tested the low IgE-binding, highly immunogenic fold variant BM4 in a Bet v 1 mouse model. METHODS Recombinant BM4 was used as active vaccine ingredient to treat mice sensitized to Bet v ...
متن کاملProfiles of Birch Sensitization (Bet v 1, Bet v 2, and Bet v 4) and Oral Allergy Syndrome Across Italy.
BACKGROUND Birch allergy (BA) is a common pollinosis caused by the allergens Bet v 1, Bet v 2, and Bet v 4. Oral allergy syndrome (OAS) is frequently associated with BA. A gradient of sensitization to birch allergen across Europe has been reported. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the birch sensitization profile, including OAS, across Italy. METHODS We performed a retrospective stud...
متن کاملHappy 25th birthday, Bet v 1!
As the deputy editor of WAOJ I am concentrating on basic science, but with continuous focus on the clinical relevance of submitted studies for our allergic and atopic patients. The questions that follow me are 1.) “What makes an allergen an allergen?” and 2.) “Why do humans and other mammalians form IgE?”. Within the period which I personally can oversee in the allergy field, i.e. roughly 25 ye...
متن کاملHuman TCR transgenic Bet v 1-specific Th1 cells suppress the effector function of Bet v 1-specific Th2 cells.
Pollinosis to birch pollen is a common type I allergy in the Northern Hemisphere. Moreover, birch pollen-allergic individuals sensitized to the major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 frequently develop allergic reactions to stone fruits, hazelnuts, and certain vegetables due to immunological cross-reactivity. The major T cell epitope Bet v 1(142-153) plays an important role in cross-reactivity bet...
متن کاملIdentification of the natural ligand of Bet v 1
The major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 is the main elicitor of airborne type I allergies and belongs to the family 10 of pathogenesis related proteins. Bet v 1 is the most extensively studied allergen and is well characterized on the biochemical and immunological level. However, its physiological function remained elusive. Here we present the identification of quercetin-3-O-sophoroside (Q3OS) ...
