Hybrid consistency and plausibility verification of product data according to FIC [PDF]
The labelling of food products in the EU is regulated by the Food Information of Customers (FIC). Companies are required to provide the corresponding information regarding nutrients and allergens among others. With the rise of e-commerce more and more food products are sold online. There are often errors in the online product descriptions regarding the

A genomic analysis and transcriptomic atlas of gene expression in Psoroptes ovis reveals feeding- and stage-specific patterns of allergen expression [PDF]
Background: Psoroptic mange, caused by infestation with the ectoparasitic mite, Psoroptes ovis, is highly contagious, resulting in intense pruritus and represents a major welfare and economic concern for the livestock industry Worldwide.

Applying the adverse outcome pathway (AOP) for food sensitization to support in vitro testing strategies [PDF]
Background Before introducing proteins from new or alternative dietary sources into the market, a compressive risk assessment including food allergic sensitization should be carried out in order to ensure their safety.

Regulation of eosinophilia and allergic airway inflammation by the glycan-binding protein galectin-1 [PDF]
Galectin-1 (Gal-1), a glycan-binding protein with broad antiinflammatory activities, functions as a proresolving mediator in autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disorders. However, its role in allergic airway inflammation has not yet been elucidated.

The minor house dust mite allergen Der p 13 is a fatty acid binding protein and an activator of a TLR2-mediated innate immune response [PDF]
Background: The house dust mite (HDM) allergen Der p 13 could be a lipid-binding protein able to activate key innate signaling pathways in the initiation of the allergic response.

Prediction of Oral Food Challenge Outcomes via Ensemble Learning [PDF]
Oral Food Challenges (OFCs) are essential to accurately diagnosing food allergy due to the limitations of existing clinical testing. However, some patients are hesitant to undergo OFCs, while those willing suffer from limited access to allergists in rural/community healthcare settings.

Allergen-Specific Antibodies Regulate Secondary Allergen-Specific Immune Responses
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 ...

Protein expression and genetic variability of canine Can f 1 in golden and Labrador retriever service dogs. [PDF]
BackgroundValued for trainability in diverse tasks, dogs are the primary service animal used to assist individuals with disabilities. Despite their utility, many people in need of service dogs are sensitive to the primary dog allergen, Can f 1, encoded ...
