Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 393-403, October 2023., 2023 Background – Grass leaf has been suspected to cause immunoglobulin (Ig)E‐mediated immediate hypersensitivity reactions both in humans and in dogs. However, most studies in this area are case control studies without in vitro data showing the involvement of IgE in the reaction.

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 348-354, August 2023., 2023 Background – Glycerinated allergen extracts contain 50% glycerin, an excellent preservative. While glycerin is a recognised irritant in humans, the utility of glycerinated extracts for intradermal testing has not been validated in dogs. Hypothesis/Objective – To determine and compare the effects of glycerin on immediate cutaneous reactions to ...

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 34, Issue 4, Page 327-338, August 2023., 2023 Background – The caninised monoclonal antibody lokivetmab (LKV), directed at interleukin (IL)‐31, is very effective at controlling pruritus in most dogs with atopic dermatitis (AD). However, evidence exists that IL‐31 is not required for the induction of acute allergic skin inflammation, which might explain why this treatment is less efficacious in ...

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 523-526, December 2022., 2022 Background: There is increasing evidence of cross‐reactivity between allergens of close or distant species. The A‐RISC (Allergens'–Relative Identity, Similarity and Cross‐reactivity) index helps evaluate the risk of theoretical cross‐reactivity between proteins of the same family among different species.

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 117-e34, April 2022., 2022 Background – Dogs with atopic dermatitis are often immunoglobulin (Ig)E‐sensitised to Dermatophagoides farinae (Df) house dust mites, yet limited data exist on the sensitisation rates to the individual Df allergens, Der f 2 and Zen 1. Objectives – To determine the IgE sensitisation rates to Df, Der f 2 and Zen 1 in atopic dogs from geographically ...
