The IgE-mediated allergic reactions to food are caused, generally, by ingestion. However, they can be rarely induced by exposure to airborne food particles through the handling or the cooking. Vicia faba is a vegetable which belongs to Legumes or Fabaceae family, Fabales order. Allergic reactions
Hairy vetch poisoning (vetch-associated disease) of cattle is a generalized disease characterized pathologically by infiltration of skin and many internal organs by monocytes, lymphocytes, plasma cells, and often eosinophils and multinucleated giant cells and clinically by dermatitis, pruritus,
The adoptive transfer of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) into naive recipients requires the interaction of two functionally distinct Ly-1+ T cells: and I-J- cell effector cell for DTH which transfers antigen-specific DTH only into animals whose suppressive mechanisms have been compromised, and
Mercuric chloride (HgCl2) induces in Lewis (LEW) rats a non-antigen-specific immunosuppression and is able to down-modulate experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in about 70% of the rats. The aim of the present study was to determine the frequencies of lymph node cells involved in the
In the companion paper (J. Rossert et al., Cell. Immunol. 137, 1991), we showed by using limiting dilution analysis that Lewis (LEW) rats injected with HgCl2 and immunized with myelin (LEWHg/MYE) exhibit anti-basic protein CD4+ T helper cells (Th), at least 10-fold more frequent CD8+ T suppressor
OBJECTIVE
Broad bean (Vicia faba L.), a common vegetable, belongs to the family Fabaceae and is consumed worldwide. Limited studies have been done on allergenicity of broad beans. The aim of this study was to determine if broad bean proteins have the ability to elicit allergic responses due to the
This paper describes two functionally different T cell populations that mediate delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reactions in contact-sensitized mice. Both of these T cells are Ly-1+, Qa-2-, and Vicia villosa lectin nonadherent. One of these T cell subpopulations is responsible for the classical
Parainfluenza-3 virus was isolated by affinity chromatography, including a purification step with immobilized lectin Vicia erwilia. The peplomers of disintegrated virus were similarily isolated using another carbohydrate-specific lectin Vicia crotalaria. The whole virion and the peplomers were both
The intravenous injection of 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl (TNP)-labeled peritoneal exudate cells (TNP-PEC) into CBA mice fails to produce a state of hypersensitivity; rather, it renders recipient mice incapable of mounting a contact hypersensitivity response when they are subsequently immunized with a
BACKGROUND
The food supplement bee pollen has been previously found to cause anaphylactic reactions. It has been proposed as useful for "everything from bronchitis to hemorrhoids."
OBJECTIVE
This study describes an atopic patient who experienced a non-life-threatening anaphylactic reaction upon her
Additives, especially colors, are in widespread use in the food industry. With the exception of the quinolines, food colors are relatively weak mutagens and are certified as safe additives despite reports that some people have allergic reactions to them. The number of food additives is still on the
Eleven purified lectins were compared in their IgE-precipitating, mast-cell-degranulating and histamine-releasing activity and in eliciting skin allergic reactions in atopic or normal people. A significantly positive relationship could be proved between their IgE-precipitating activity and
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to assess the sensitivity profile of the population of Fez and Casablanca in Morocco to dry broad bean (Vicia faba), and to investigate the effect of food processing (heat and/or enzymatic hydrolysis by pepsin) on the human IgE binding capacity to broad bean
Antigens presented to the immune system through the oral route induce antigen specific secretory IgA and systemic unresponsiveness, termed oral tolerance (OT). We studied the induction of OT towards a diet antigen: dextrin (DEX) in rats that underwent protein deprivation and were further re-fed.
A unidirectional cascade of cell interactions has been described previously that involves at least three distinct populations of suppressor T cells (Ts) that interact in appropriate succession to mediate suppression of delayed hypersensitivity responses to the 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenylacetyl hapten
