Impact of oligomerization on the allergenicity of allergens
Clinical and Molecular Allergy, 2022 AbstractType I hypersensitivity (allergic reaction) is an unsuitable or overreactive immune response to an allergen due to cross-link immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies bound to its high-affinity IgE receptors (FcεRIs) on effector cells. It is needless to say that at least two epitopes on allergens are required to the successful and effective cross ...

A Review of Honeybee Venom Allergens and Allergenicity [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Honeybee venom is a source of proteins with allergenic properties which can result in in various symptoms, ranging from local reactions through to systematic life-threatening anaphylaxis, or even death. According to the World Allergy Organization (WAO), honeybee venom allergy is one of the most common causes of anaphylaxis.

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1987 SummaryThis article presents a nomenclature system for allergens which has been officially recommended by the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS). The nomenclature is based on proposals of the IUIS Sub‐Committee for Allergen Nomenclature and is applicable to highly purified, well‐characterized allergens and to non‐purified or ...

What Makes an Allergen an Allergen [PDF]
Allergy, 1978 In the vocabulary of daily life the term allergen is most often used to indicate the whole substance able to initiate an allergic reaction, such as certain pollens, moulds, house dust mites, animal dander, cow's milk and other inhalants or food items known to trigger immediate or late, hypersensitivity reactions.

Allergen Peptides, Recombinant Allergens and Hypoallergens for Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy [PDF]
Current Treatment Options in Allergy, 2014 Allergic diseases are among the most common health issues worldwide. Specific immunotherapy has remained the only disease-modifying treatment, but it is not effective in all patients and may cause side effects. Over the last 25 years, allergen molecules from most prevalent allergen sources have been isolated and produced as recombinant proteins.

Spectrum of Allergens and Allergen Biology in India [PDF]
International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 2018 The growing prevalence of allergy and asthma in India has become a major health concern with symptoms ranging from mild rhinitis to severe asthma and even life-threatening anaphylaxis. The “allergen repertoire” of this subcontinent is highly diverse due to the varied climate, flora, and food habits.

Nanoparticle–allergen complexes for allergen immunotherapy
International Journal of Nanomedicine, 2017 Allergen-specific immunotherapy was introduced in clinical settings more than 100 years ago. It remains the only curative approach to treating allergic disorders that ameliorates symptoms, reduces medication costs, and blocks the onset of new sensitizations.

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2000 Outdoor allergens are an important part of the exposures that lead to allergic disease. Understanding the role of outdoor allergens requires a knowledge of the nature of outdoor allergen-bearing particles, the distributions of their source, and the nature of the aerosols (particle types, sizes, dynamics of concentrations).

Fish Allergens at a Glance: Variable Allergenicity of Parvalbumins, the Major Fish Allergens [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2014 Fish is a common trigger of severe, food-allergic reactions. Only a limited number of proteins induce specific IgE-mediated immune reactions. The major fish allergens are the parvalbumins. They are members of the calcium-binding EF-hand protein family characterized by a conserved protein structure.

Mediators of Inflammation, 2001 The systematic avoidance of indoor allergens by modification of houses, furnishings, or hygiene practices has long been advocated to reduce both the incidence of allergic diseases in at-risk infants and exacerbations or symptoms in those previously sensitized with such a disease.
