Four novel antifungal compounds, gamahonolides A and B, gamahorin, and 5-hydroxyl-4-phenyl-2(5H)-furanone, were isolated from stromata of Epichloe typhina on Phleum pratense. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. The absolute configuration of gamahonolide A was determined by its
OBJECTIVE
To establish the optimal dose of Phleum pratense subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in patients with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis with/without asthma.
METHODS
One hundred and fifty-one patients were randomized to receive SCIT 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 or 4.0 skin-prick test units (SPT) or
BACKGROUND
The effect of sublingual Timothy grass immunotherapy tablet 2800 BAU (grass SLIT-T) has been evaluated in three North American trials in adults and children who have allergic rhinitis with or without conjunctivitis (AR/C). This paper examines the effects of grass SLIT-T in
BACKGROUND
Grass pollen allergy is one of the most common allergies worldwide and airborne allergens are the major cause of allergic rhinitis. Airway epithelial cells (AECs) are the first to encounter and respond to aeroallergens and are therefore interesting targets for the development of new
BACKGROUND
A variety of allergic reactions can be induced in mice, as measured by the induction of specific IgE. Functional read-out parameters include skin reactions and airway constriction. The aim of this study was to establish an improved quantitative assessment of the immediate cutaneous
BACKGROUND
Knowledge of allergen-specific T cell epitopes is a prerequisite not only for therapeutic approaches but also for elucidating immunological mechanisms of type I allergy. Ex vivo detection of allergen-specific T cells using class II tetramer technology has become an important tool for
BACKGROUND
Grass pollen, such as that from timothy grass (Phleum pratense), represents a major cause of type I allergy.
OBJECTIVE
To characterize the IgE immune response and to identify the major allergens eliciting an IgE response in a mouse model using pollen extract of P. pratense for
BACKGROUND
Phl p 5 is a major allergen of Timothy grass (Phleum pratense). A recombinant native Phl p 5 has already been used in clinical trials of allergen-specific immunotherapy as a component of a cocktail of allergens. Recombinant hypoallergenic allergens should further improve the treatment by
BACKGROUND
Subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy with grass pollen allergoids has been proven to be effective and safe in the treatment of patients with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. Based on the extensive cross-reactivity among Pooideae species, it has been suggested that grass pollen extracts could
BACKGROUND
Despite the difference in geographical dominance of certain grasses, a high degree of allergenic similarity or cross-reactivity between Bermuda grass pollen (BGP) and timothy grass pollen (TGP) has been previously demonstrated. The aim of the present study was to ascertain the
Grass pollen allergy is one of the most important allergic diseases world-wide. Several meadow grasses, like timothy grass and rye grass, contribute to allergic sensitizations, but also allergens from extensively cultivated cereals, especially rye, make a profound contribution. The group 4 allergens
We isolated a cDNA encoding a major grass pollen allergen from a timothy grass (Phleum pratense) pollen expression cDNA library using allergic patients' IgE. The complete cDNA encoded an allergen that binds IgE from about 80% of grass pollen-allergic patients. Significant sequence homology was found
BACKGROUND
More than 70% of the patients allergic to grass pollen exhibit IgE-reactivity against the high molecular mass fraction between 50 and 60 kDa of timothy grass pollen extracts. One allergen from this fraction is Phl p 4 that has been described as a basic glycoprotein. A new 55/60 kDa
BACKGROUND
The physicochemical modification of allergen extracts provides a chance for administering higher doses of allergen vaccines.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the safety of a chemically modified (depigmented-glutaraldehyde polymerized) therapeutic vaccine of Phleum pratense administered at doses that
The induction of blocking IgG antibodies that compete with IgE for allergen binding is one important mechanism of allergen-specific immunotherapy. The application of blocking antibodies may be an alternative treatment strategy. A synthetic gene coding for a single-chain fragment (ScFv) specific for
