Using Time-Resolved Fluorescence to Measure Serum Venom-Specific IgE and IgG
نویسندگان
چکیده
We adapted DELFIA™ (dissociation-enhanced lanthanide fluoroimmunoassay), a time resolved fluorescence method, to quantitate whole venom specific and allergenic peptide-specific IgE (sIgE), sIgG(1) and sIgG(4) in serum from people clinically allergic to Australian native ant venoms, of which the predominant cause of allergy is jack jumper ant venom (JJAV). Intra-assay CV was 6.3% and inter-assay CV was 13.7% for JJAV sIgE. DELFIA and Phadia CAP JJAV sIgE results correlated well and had similar sensitivity and specificity for the detection of JJAV sIgE against intradermal skin testing as the gold standard. DELFIA was easily adapted for detecting sIgE to a panel of other native ant venoms.

Immunotherapy with wasp venom is accompanied by wide-ranging immune responses that need further exploration.
Immunotherapy with wasp allergen leads to a variety of specific immunological changes. It is unknown, however, whether unspecific effects also occur, and which parameter shifts might indicate treatment success. Therefore, data of patients who had completed immunotherapy with wasp venom were analysed retrospectively for a change in the following parameters after therapy: threshold of skin tests ...
متن کاملSerum immunoglobulin E and immunoglobulin G reactivity to Agaricus bisporus proteins in mushroom cultivation workers
Background and Purpose: Although molds are regarded as the main fungal allergen sources, evidence indicates that spores of Basidiomycota including Agaricus bisporus (A. bisporus) can be also found at high concentrations in the environment and may cause as many respiratory allergies as molds. The aim of the present study was to evaluate specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) ...

Background & Aim: There are many suggestions for nasal polyp formation mechanism. The present study was carried out to evaluate T-cell infiltration in nasal mucosa and specific allergic reactions in context of probable irregular systemic immune responses in nasal polyp disease. Patients & Methods: 60 patients with nasal polyps who referred to ENT ward of Rasoul-e-Akram Hospital were studied...
متن کاملImmunologic reactivity on one year follow-up of subjects without allergy to Hymenoptera stings.
We studied Hymenoptera stings in 72 pest-control operators without any previous systemic reactions to Hymenoptera stings, and investigated their venom-specific IgE levels in serial specimens collected over one year. At the initial evaluation, venom-specific IgE was present in 25 (34.7%) of 72 pest-control operators, and venom-specific IgE titer significantly decreased as the time interval from ...
متن کاملClinical Features and the Diagnostic Value of Component Allergen-Specific IgE in Hymenoptera Venom Allergy
PURPOSE Although patient history is vital for the diagnosis of hymenoptera venom allergy, specific IgE detection is also important to identify the culprit insect and monitor the effect of immunotherapy. We evaluated the diagnostic value of serum-specific IgE detection of hymenoptera venom component allergens and documented changes in allergen-specific IgE after immunotherapy. METHODS Fifty-si...
