چکیده

Background Due to a lack of sufficiently accurate and effective tools, allergy is often badly diagnosed. Moreover, its treatment is expensive, long, uncomfortable and of little effectiveness. In this context, less than a quarter of allergic patients receive a treatment currently. Allergies have therefore become an important public health issue, highlighting the many unmet medical needs. ANGANY Genetics has brought together expertise in protein genomics and in therapeutic protein production in plant expression systems, to produce recombinant allergens of an unprecedented quality, offering the following solutions to allergy sufferers: (1) a precise identification of each allergen involved rather than the current approximate diagnosis, (2) pure and certified recombinant allergens rather than imperfect and incomplete allergen extracts and (3) an effective treatment at the best cost to replace symptomatic-only or low-level curative allergy treatments.

Facing Hymenoptera Venom Allergy: From Natural to Recombinant Allergens

Along with food and drug allergic reactions, a Hymenoptera insect Sting (Apoidea, Vespidae, Formicidae) is one of the most common causes of anaphylaxis worldwide. Diagnoses of Hymenoptera venom allergy (HVA) and specific immunotherapy (SIT) have been based on the use of crude venom extracts. However, the incidence of cross-reactivity and low levels of sensibility during diagnosis, as well as th...
