BACKGROUND : Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is known to cause food allergy in some Asian countries but detailed studies on eggplant allergy are lacking. OBJECTIVE : The objective is to investigate sensitization to different parts of eggplant fruit, and detection of the allergens. METHODS : Six eggplant-allergic subjects were assessed for sensitization to eggplant (peel/pulp, and raw/cooked...

Allergic manifestations to the ingestion of edible insects have been reported, especially in countries where edible insects are traditionally consumed. However, to date, allergens of edible insects have been poorly investigated. The AllergenOnline server was used for assessing the allergenic character of the putative IgE-binding crossreactive allergens from the consumed yellow mealworm, silkwor...

BACKGROUND Component-resolved diagnosis based on recombinant allergens facilitates treatment of multiple sensitization and/or crossreactivity in allergic patients. OBJECTIVE To assess the usefulness of molecular diagnosis in childhood allergies. METHODS A total of 162 children aged 4-16 years diagnosed with allergic rhinitis or asthma/rhinitis caused by pollen were referred for recombinant ...

Airborne biological allergens trigger an allergic response required for the development of atopic disease. Biological allergens are released into the air by wind, rain and active discharge mechanisms. In this review article an attempt has been made to evaluate the published literature on prevalence and types of air borne allergens in India. Important pollen allergens reported from India were: P...

Background. Asthma is an actual problem of modern pediatrics, and allergy to cats important in its development. The study was aimed investigate the structure sensitization features clinical course asthma school-age children sensitized cat allergens. Materials methods. results a 430 aged 6–17 years with allergens were analyzed. Results. Sensitization Fel d 1 detected 96.05 % patients, 2 — 6.74 %...

background: atopic dermatitis is a major public health problem, often starting in early childhood and sometimes followed by other allergic diseases. although hypersensitivity to foods is assumed to play an essential role in the development of atopic dermatitis in some patients, little is known about common food allergens in iranian children with atopic dermatitis. objectives: this study was des...

platanus acerifolia, london plane tree, a significant source of airborne allergens, is widely grown in shanghai and other cities in china. in recent decades, little has been known regarding the influence of the allergens on sensitizing the population in the shanghai area. the aims of this study were to purify and characterize the two major allergens and to confirm the immunological activities o...

Undeclared allergens continue to be the leading cause of food recalls in the United States [1]. It results from the failure to declare allergens in food labels, or accidental introduction of allergens in non-allergen foods or processing lines. Cross-contamination, which occurs when adjacent food processing lines are used in the processing of allergenic and non-allergenic foods, can also result ...

BACKGROUND Cockroaches have been recognized as a powerful indoor allergen. Cockroach allergy can be a major factor in serious asthma and nasal allergy. Bioinformatics tools have been developed to identify potential allergens. The present study was conducted to identify potential allergens in Periplaneta americana (Linnaeus). METHODS The study focused on the identification of potential allerge...

Soybean (Glycine max) seed contain some proteins that are allergenic to humans and animals. However, the concentration of these allergens and their expression variability among germplasms is presently unknown. To address this problem, 10 allergens were quantified from 20 nongenetically modified commercial soybean varieties using parallel, label-free mass spectrometry approaches. Relative quanti...
