Human IgE Antibodies Recognize the Vicilin and Alpha‐Hairpinin Domains of Peanut Allergen Ara h 1
The ɑ‐hairpinin of Ara h 1 contains a dominant epitope that is both frequently recognized and blocks a majority of the IgE against this domain. Including this region in tests may improve diagnosis of peanut allergy. The trimeric structure of the vicilin region explains the ability of Ara h 1 to induce anaphylaxis with a single antibody.

The External Exposome and Food Allergy: How Environmental Exposures Shape Disease Risk
ABSTRACT IgE‐mediated food allergy is a global health issue with rising prevalence that cannot be explained by genetic change alone, strongly suggesting that environmental exposures are a key driver. The external exposome encompasses several exposures that influence the developing immune system and modify food allergy risk.

Pre‐Seasonal Treatment With Recombinant Carrier‐Based Birch Vaccine Improves Birch Pollen Allergy
We conducted a two stage SCIT trial with GNR‐127 containing a recombinant fusion protein consisting of Bet v 1 and Mal d 1‐derived peptides fused to PreS from HBV. Stage 1 identified two safe maximum tolerated doses (40 μg and 80 μg). In the following Stage 2, five preseasonal injections were well tolerated, induced dose‐dependent allergen‐specific IgG,

A Case of IgG4-Related Hypophysitis Presented with Hypopituitarism and Diabetes Insipidus
Immunoglobulin (Ig) G4-related systemic syndrome is a recently described entity characterized by elevated serum IgG4 and tissue infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells. Pituitary gland can be involved as hypophysitis. We report a case of a 72-year-old

ABSTRACT Among bacteria that are associated with the development and/or exacerbation of allergic/atopic diseases, several have been described to produce IgE‐binding components. However, only one bacterial protein, Bac s 1, is currently listed in the official database of the World Health Organization/International Union of Immunological Societies (WHO ...

Understanding the Type 2 Immunity: An Evolving View Beyond Allergic Diseases
ABSTRACT Type 2 (T2) immunity is classically associated with defense against helminths and environmental threats, from a physiological perspective, and with allergies and eosinophilic inflammatory diseases, in a pathological sense. However, growing evidence reveals that T2 pathways also support other essential homeostatic functions, including tissue ...

IgG4 autoantibodies and autoantigens in the context of IgG4-autoimmune disease and IgG4-related disease [PDF]
Immunoglobulins are an essential part of the humoral immune response. IgG4 antibodies are the least prevalent subclass and have unique structural and functional properties. In this review, we discuss IgG4 class switch and B cell production. We review the
