Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1988 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 ...

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.

Sensitization profiles to purified plant food allergens among pediatric patients with allergy to banana. [PDF]
, 2011 Banana fruit allergy is well known, but neither immunoglobulin E recognition patterns to purified plant food allergens nor true prevalences of putative banana allergens have been established. This study aimed to characterize β-1,3-glucanase and thaumatin-
