The use of recombinant fish parvalbumin Gad c 1 in the characterisation of fish allergic patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Material and methods We selected 55 pts (34M, 21F; average age:7.4 years). All had fish allergy, characterized by positive clinical history, skin-prick tests and serum specific IgE to several fish and Gad c 1 (UniCap, Thermo-Fisher). Oral food challenge was performed to evaluate fish tolerance acquisition. Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prisma version 5.0 (GraphPad Software Inc, SD). Two groups were compared using a paired t test Wilcoxon. P values<0.05 were considered significant.

A Cross-Reactive Human Single-Chain Antibody for Detection of Major Fish Allergens, Parvalbumins, and Identification of a Major IgE-Binding Epitope
Fish allergy is associated with moderate to severe IgE-mediated reactions to the calcium binding parvalbumins present in fish muscle. Allergy to multiple fish species is caused by parvalbumin-specific cross-reactive IgE recognizing conserved epitopes. In this study, we aimed to produce cross-reactive single chain variable fragment (scFv) antibodies for the detection of parvalbumins in fish extr...
متن کاملGad c 1 efficiency in the diagnosis of fish allergy in children
Background Fish is one of the main culprit foods in childhood allergy [prevalence below 5 years 30% and then 9.8%, Spain]. IgE-mediated fish allergy diagnosis (FAD) is based on specific IgE (sIgE) detection to fish whole extracts and parvalbumin, considered to be major allergen, despite oral challenge (OC) is still the gold standard. Parvalbumin is an important panallergen. Cod parvalbumin (Gad...
متن کاملA recombinant hypoallergenic parvalbumin mutant for immunotherapy of IgE-mediated fish allergy.
IgE-mediated allergy to fish is a frequent cause of severe anaphylactic reactions. Parvalbumin, a small calcium-binding protein, is the major fish allergen. We have recently isolated a cDNA coding for carp parvalbumin, Cyp c 1, and expressed in Escherichia coli a recombinant Cyp c 1 molecule, which contained most IgE epitopes of saltwater and freshwater fish. In this study, we introduced mutati...
متن کاملBlocking antibodies induced by immunization with a hypoallergenic parvalbumin mutant reduce allergic symptoms in a mouse model of fish allergy
BACKGROUND Fish is a frequent elicitor of severe IgE-mediated allergic reactions. Beside avoidance, there is currently no allergen-specific therapy available. Hypoallergenic variants of the major fish allergen, parvalbumin, for specific immunotherapy based on mutation of the 2 calcium-binding sites have been developed. OBJECTIVES This study sought to establish a mouse model of fish allergy re...
متن کاملSolution and high-pressure NMR studies of the structure, dynamics and stability of the cross-reactive allergenic cod parvalbumin Gad m 1
Beta-parvalbumins from different fish species have been identified as the main elicitors of IgE-mediated reactions in fish-allergic individuals. Here, we report for the first time the NMR determination of the structure and dynamics of the major Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) allergen Gad m 1 and compare them with other known parvalbumins. Although the Gad m 1 structure and accessibility of putativ...
