Allergenicity of natural rubber latex gloves
Contact Dermatitis, 2002The concentrations of proteins, allergens and rubber chemicals are essential parameters of the allergenicity of NRL gloves. To date, a standardized method has been given only for analysis of the protein concentration (DIN EN 455‐3), and not for the concentrations of allergens and rubber chemicals.

Allergenic proteins of natural rubber latex
Methods, 2002As the living cytoplasm of laticiferous cells, Hevea brasiliensis latex is a rich blend of organic substances that include a mélange of proteins. A small number of these proteins have given rise to the problem of latex allergy. The salient characteristics of H. brasiliensis latex allergens that are recognized by the International Union of Immunological

Natural rubber latex allergens: new developments
Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2004New allergenic latex proteins have been identified, whereas further information on known latex allergens has emerged in recent years. Although prevalence figures for sensitization to the various latex allergens have been published in several studies in the past, the data have not been collated to facilitate cross-comparison.Salient characteristics of ...

Blends of natural rubber latex and methyl methacrylate‐grafted rubber latex
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2002AbstractBy mixing natural rubber latex uniformly with methyl methacrylate‐grafted natural rubber latex and then carrying out prevulcanization, we obtained blends with stable viscosities. Under certain blending ratios, the blends maintained good basic properties, and the heat stability time (THS) of the blend increased with the increment of percent ...

Management of natural rubber latex allergy
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2002Issues of impairment, compensation, and disability are appropriately directed at health care workers with latex allergy and occupational asthma or anaphylaxis who may not be able to re-enter a work environment with ambient exposure to latex proteins. The following stepwise approach for managing a high-risk health care worker with natural rubber latex ...

Natural rubber latex allergy and asthma
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2001Allergic responses to natural rubber latex (NRL) continue to be reported. In adults, the major exposure is in the occupational setting, especially in relation to NRL glove use by health care workers. Issues addressed over the past year include improving diagnostic methods for NRL allergy and characterization of NRL allergens relevant to various ...

The diagnosis of natural rubber latex allergy
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1994Allergy to latex is a rapidly emerging public health problem. Because our knowledge of the major allergens involved is incomplete, standardized in vivo and in vitro tests have not been available. Because of systemic reactions to skin prick testing, this method should be used only after results of other tests have been inconclusive.

Diagnosis of natural rubber latex allergy
Clinical Immunology Newsletter, 1996The accurate diagnosis of a latex-allergic individual begins with a comprehensive clinical history. Atopy, food allergies, hand dermatitis, and temporal relationships between allergic symptoms and natural rubber product exposure are risk factors that increase the suspicion of latex allergy.

Measurement of Protein in Natural Rubber Latex
Analytical Biochemistry, 1995Latex from the Brazilian rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is the source of virtually all commercial natural rubber (cis-1,4-polyisoprene). Products made from natural rubber latex include gloves, condoms, and hundreds of different medical devices. However, recent reports of widespread life-threatening latex-associated Type I allergies have focused ...

Environmental fate of processed natural rubber latex
Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts, 2013In this study, processed natural rubber latex was degraded in outdoor aquatic microcosms, under a number of treatment scenarios for 200 days. The analytical strategy adopted aimed to characterise a range of volatile, semi-volatile and non-volatile substances.
