We report the case of a 21-year-old dental undergraduate student who, after the first time he had worn latex gloves during a practical session in the second year of his course, developed severe allergic ...

متن کاملPlant Defense-related Proteins Eluting from Latex Gloves and Ammoniated Latex: Potential Latex Allergens
Hypersensitivity reactions caused by latex products are ascribed to proteins elutingfrom the products, but the detailed properties of the responsible proteins have not been revealed yet. We have speculated that defense-related proteins biosynthesised in a rubber tree comprise the major part of the allergens. The aim of this study is to ascertain whether defense-related proteins are extracted fr...
