Determinants of allergenicity [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2009
The question "What makes an allergen an allergen?" has puzzled generations of researchers, and we still do not have a conclusive answer. Despite increasing knowledge about the molecular and functional characteristics of allergens that have been identified, we still do not fully understand why some proteins are clinically relevant allergens and most are

An Overview of Seafood Allergens: Structure–Allergenicity Relationship and Allergenicity Elimination Processing Techniques

open access: yesFoods
Seafood (fish, crustacean, and mollusk) allergy represents a critical global health issue. Food processing offers a viable strategy for allergenicity mitigation and serves as a critical intervention for seafood allergy prevention.

Impact of oligomerization on the allergenicity of allergens

open access: yesClinical 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 ...

Allergen nomenclature [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Inhalant Mammal-Derived Lipocalin Allergens and the Innate Immunity

open access: yesFrontiers in Allergy, 2022
A major part of important mammalian respiratory allergens belongs to the lipocalin family of proteins. By this time, 19 respiratory mammalian lipocalin allergens have been registered in the WHO/IUIS Allergen Nomenclature Database. Originally, lipocalins,

A Review of Honeybee Venom Allergens and Allergenicity [PDF]

open access: yesInternational 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.

Effect of heating and glycation on the allergenicity of 2S albumins (Ara h 2/6) from peanut [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Although no effect of processing on T-cell reactivity was observed, heat induced denaturation reduced the IgE reactivity and subsequent functionality of Ara h 2/6.
