PG102, a water-soluble extract from an edible fruit, Actinidia arguta, has previously been shown to control various factors involved in allergy pathogenesis. It was investigated whether the original activities of PG102 could be reconstituted by mixing chemical compounds present in PG102. Six
BACKGROUND
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lung and its incidence has been increasing around the world. We previously reported that oral administration of a water-soluble extract prepared from Actinidia arguta, code-named PG102, could modulate the level of Th1 and Th2 cytokines and
BACKGROUND
Allergic reactions to food can involve diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and abnormal pain. PG102 has previously been shown to control various factors involved in allergy pathogenesis, including IgE and various Th1 and Th2 cytokines, in vivo as well as in vitro [Park EJ, et al.: J Allergy Clin
This report describes a hypersensitivity reaction to kiwi fruit in a patient who developed moderately severe generalized symptoms after handling the fruit. A search of the literature did not reveal any previous reference to kiwi-fruit sensitivity. It is suggested that IgE antibody is an important
BACKGROUND
Kiwifruits have become a major elicitor of plant food allergy. Until recently, the only species of kiwifruit grown commercially was the common green-fleshed Actinidia deliciosa cv Hayward. In 1999, the yellow-fleshed cultivar Actinidia chinensis cv Hort16A was introduced into the
We present a case of hypersensitivity to kiwi in a 26 year-old patient with no previous atopic history. The first reaction episode occurred a few minutes after kiwi ingestion, presenting with a localized pruritic reaction. This symptomatology repeated itself a few months later, again immediately
BACKGROUND
Allergy to green kiwifruit has become common since the fruit was introduced in North America and Europe 30 years ago. Gold kiwifruit, more recently introduced commercially, has been shown to bind IgE from some individuals allergic to green kiwifruit. Hardy kiwifruit is a third species
While kiwifruit has a high nutritive and health value, a small proportion of the world's population appears to be allergic to the fruit. IgE-mediated kiwifruit allergy is often associated with birch and grass pollinosis as well as with latex allergy. Isolated allergy to kiwifruit is also relatively
Kiwifruit has become a frequent cause of fruit allergy in the recent years. The molecular basis of type I hypersensitivity to kiwifruit is attributed to 11 IUIS allergens, with Act d 1, Act d 2 and Act d 5 characterized in extenso. Evaluation of the allergenic properties of Act d 4, a cysteine
The kiwi fruit (Actinidia deliciosa) is a food that has been recognized for its allergenic capability for more than 30 years. In general, kiwi allergy is characterized by local discomfort, but systemic reactions such as rash, angioedema, rhinitis, conjunctivitis or anaphylaxis can be triggered.

Actinidia polygama Max. was subjected to supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), and the resulting ethanol extract of marc (SFEM) was subjected to sequential fractionation with various solvents. Each extract and fraction was assayed for anti-inflammatory effect. The ethyl acetate fraction (EtOAc)
BACKGROUND
Actinidia arguta is widespread in northeastern Asia, being found in Siberia, Korea, Japan, and northern China. These fruits have been documented to regulate the uncontrolled heat of body resulting in various allergic diseases in the Korean traditional medicine. PG102, a water-soluble
BACKGROUND
Various allergic responses are thought to result from the unbalanced development of T(H)1 and T(H)2 pathways and, subsequently, the overproduction of IgE. Therefore the modulation of T(H)1 and T(H)2 responses is a rational strategy for the treatment of allergic diseases.
OBJECTIVE
The
BACKGROUND
Recent studies have reported that blocking IgE has a potentially beneficial role in the treatment of various allergic diseases. Previously, we found that PG102, a water-soluble extract prepared from the edible fruits of Actinidia arguta, can effectively reduce IgE levels using murine
