Equine rhinitis A virus (ERAV) is a member of the genus Aphthovirus, family Picornaviridae, and causes respiratory disease in horses worldwide. To characterize the putative receptor molecule(s) of the ERAV isolate 393/76 (ERAV.393/76) on the surface of Vero and other cells, an assay was developed to
Th2 cytokines like interleukin-4, -5, and -13 are regarded as important drivers of the immunopathology underlying allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma. The present study explores the capacity of pentosan polysulfate sodium (PPS), a semi-synthetic heparin-like macromolecular carbohydrate, to bind Th2
BACKGROUND
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) to N-glycans from plant and invertebrate glycoproteins induces extensive in vitro cross-reactivity. This study investigates the prevalence and diagnostic relevance of IgE to these N-glycans [cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCDs)] in patients with suspicion
BACKGROUND
The determinants and biologic significance of IgE-mediated sensitization to cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCDs) are not entirely known. An association between alcohol consumption and CCD sensitization has been reported in studies from Spain and Portugal.
OBJECTIVE
To
BACKGROUND
A pharmaceutical industry worker was exposed to dust of gum arabic in the tablet coating plant and complained of work-related shortness of breath, chest tightness, runny nose, itching and redness of the eyes. This case was investigated for allergy to gum arabic and compared with a control
To study the differential carbohydrate expression of airway secretions, we have produced a series of monoclonal antibodies that recognize human nasal secretory cell products. Mice were immunized with purified nasal secretion from patients with chronic sinusitis (CS) and hybridomas were selected by
Porcine atrophic rhinitis associated with Bordetella bronchiseptica is characterized by a severe inflammatory response in the mucosa of the nasal turbinates. Initial infiltrates of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) are followed by accumulations of mononuclear cells. In this report, we have
BACKGROUND
Several wheat flour allergens relevant to baker's asthma have been identified in the last 25 years. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of sensitization to these allergens in German bakers.
METHODS
Using recombinant DNA technology, the following wheat flour allergens were
BACKGROUND
Although rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the most common cereals produced and consumed around the world, there have been only a few reports on immediate hypersensitivity reactions after ingestion of rice. Few clinical studies on rice allergy in Asia have been reported concerning rhinitis,
Foot mycoses, including onychomycoses, are worldwide infectious diseases. As part of a regional survey using randomly selected residents of in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, we investigated the impact of dietary habits, the presence of most frequent autoimmune diseases and current BACKGROUND
The introduction of molecular diagnoses has provided evidence of the existence of several different allergenic profiles in grass-sensitised individuals, reflecting the large number of allergens involved. This methodology has become a potent tool for a correct diagnosis and for the
OBJECTIVE
Using multiplex microarray-based component resolved diagnosis (CRD) to investigate the allergen sensitization profile of allergic asthma patients in southern China.
METHODS
Serum samples from 57 polysensitized mite allergic asthmatic patients in a tertiary referral centre of southern China
Potassium thiocyanate extracts of a virulent Pasteurella multocida 3:A rabbit isolate were prepared and used as a vaccine in rabbits. The extract contained protein, carbohydrate, hyaluronic acid, lipopolysaccharide, DNA, and RNA. The protein and lipopolysaccharide profiles of the extract were
