Solution structure of a repeated unit of the ABA-1 nematode polyprotein allergen of ascaris reveals a novel fold and two discrete lipid-binding sites [PDF]

, 2011
Parasitic nematode worms cause serious health problems in humans and other animals. They can induce allergic-type immune responses, which can be harmful but may at the same time protect against the infections. Allergens are proteins that trigger allergic

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.

Food allergens [PDF]

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology, 1997
A food allergen may be defined as a substance that reacts with IgE antibodies, induces allergic sensitisation or induces allergic reactions. Some allergens only induce allergic sensitisation but do not provoke symptoms, while others bind IgE but do not induce mast cell degranulation. There is no common structure that can predict whether a given antigen

Molecular Investigation of the Impact of Thermal Processing Techniques on Tropomyosin Crustacean Allergens

Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology, 2023
While shellfish species are widely consumed due to their nutritional advantages, they are also among the top eight food items for food-borne allergies.

Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy With Liposome Containing CpG-ODN in Murine Model of Asthma Relies on MyD88 Signaling in Dendritic Cells

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Changing the immune responses to allergens is the cornerstone of allergen immunotherapy. Allergen-specific immunotherapy that consists of repeated administration of increasing doses of allergen extract is potentially curative. The major inconveniences of

, 2014
Blocking the bioactivity of allergens is conceptually attractive as a small-molecule therapy for allergic diseases but has not been attempted previously.

BC02-adjuvanted varicella-zoster virus glycoprotein E subunit vaccine overcomes immunosenescence to induce robust neutralizing antibodies and multifunctional T-cell immunity in seropositive aged murine models

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics
After infection with the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the virus becomes latent in the sensory ganglia. Immune senescence may lead to its reactivation, resulting in herpes zoster (HZ). The limited immunogenicity of current vaccines in elderly populations

Allergen-Specific Antibodies Regulate Secondary Allergen-Specific Immune Responses

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-associated allergy is the most common immunologically-mediated hypersensensitivity disease. It is based on the production of IgE antibodies and T cell responses against per se innocuous antigens (i.e., allergens) and subsequent ...
