Potential cross-reactions between natural rubber latex and fruit/vegetable specific immunoglobulin (Ig)E antibodies have been reported for many years. This study was designed to investigate the molecular basis of acquired food sensitization focusing on the storage protein patatin and the
Wheat allergy is the most common around the world as gluten is the potential allergen. People diagnosed with wheat allergy were mainly substitute with other novel food such as potato though it is also being reported for allergenic manifestations. Thus there is an increasing demand for developing a
BACKGROUND
Patients allergic to natural rubber latex (NRL) frequently show positive skin prick tests (SPT) and hypersensitivity reactions to various fruits, such as avocado, banana, and kiwi, as well as to vegetables such as potato.
METHODS
Hev b 7 was purified from NRL "C-serum" and Sol t 1 from
BACKGROUND
Peeling of raw potatoes may cause allergic symptoms, such as sneezing, wheezing, and contact urticaria, for adults. For children, potatoes as food may cause various allergic reactions. However, the identity and molecular structure of the putative allergens in potato have remained
The clinical significance and molecular specificity of hypersensitivity reactions to raw and cooked potatoes remain ambiguous. We therefore investigated the clinical hypersensitivity to raw and cooked potato in infants suspected to have potato allergy and compared the findings with the occurrence of
BACKGROUND
Several studies have shown that allergy to natural rubber latex is associated with cross-reactivity to certain foods such as tomato and potato. The objective was to investigate the clinical and immunologic differences between a group of patients with clinical allergy to tomato and latex
BACKGROUND
In addition to their disease-associated handicaps, patients with spina bifida (SB) are at high risk of developing latex allergy. Individuals with SB represent a special group of latex-allergic patients, inasmuch as their IgE-binding patterns differ from those of other populations of
Although cross-reactivity with other plant-based foods and latex has been described, allergies to potatoes and tomatoes are uncommon.To study the different sensitization patterns in patients who are allergic to potatoes and/or It is hypothesized that oligosaccharides are another potential source of immunological cross-reaction between different plant allergens. Patatin is the most abundant glycoprotein in potato and has been described to have an oligosaccharide of composition Man3(Xyl)GlcNAc2(Fuc). In this work,
In transgenic Arabidopsis a patatin class I promoter from potato is regulated by sugars and proline (Pro), thus integrating signals derived from carbon and nitrogen metabolism. In both cases a signaling cascade involving protein phosphatases is involved in induction. Other endogenous genes are also
IgE-mediated hypersensitivity to latex proteins present in health care products, particularly in latex gloves, has become an important public health problem in recent years. We purified natural Hev b 7, a 43-kDa patatin-like allergen from the latex of Hevea brasiliensis and determined several
The 43-kD latex allergen Hev b 7 was purified from the latex of Hevea brasiliensis and identified by N-terminal and internal peptide sequences as highly homologous to patatins. Patatins are storage proteins encoded by a multigene family found in plants such as potato and tomato. We have obtained a
The vaccine candidates that have been introduced for immunization against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) strains are quite diverse. In fact, there has been no proper antigen to act as an effective immunogenic substance against this ubiquitous pathogen in the market as yet. The complications
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to investigate crossreactivity between latex and foods, to identify crossreacting IgE binding proteins, and to assess the clinical significance.
METHODS
Forty-seven latex allergic patients and 46 non-latex allergic patient controls were studied. Allergen
In transgenic Arabidopsis a patatin class I promoter from potato is regulated by sugars and proline (Pro), thus integrating signals derived from carbon and nitrogen metabolism. In both cases a signaling cascade involving protein phosphatases is involved in induction. Other endogenous genes are also
