anaphylaxis/brassica

BACKGROUND Cauliflower is a vegetable belonging to the family Cruciferae, genus Brassica, var. Botrytis. METHODS We report the case of a 70 year-old man who suffered an acute episode consisting of oropharyngeal itching, facial and hand swelling, dyspnea and severe bronchospasm within a few minutes

Anaphylactic reactions due to food occur in the context of food allergy and, together with venom and drugs, are the most frequent elicitors of severe allergic reactions. In small children the most frequent elicitors of severe allergic reactions according to data from the anaphylaxis registry are

Allergy to cabbage and other foods in the Brassica family has rarely been observed in man. We report a case of facial and throat swelling in an atopic female after she ingested coleslaw on two separate occasions. She had 4+ reactions to cabbage, mustard plant, cauliflower, and broccoli by skin

Phospholipase D preferentially contained in human eosinophil polymorphonuclear leukocytes as compared to other leukocytes was isolated by sequential asion and cation exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The purified eosinophil enzyme specifically liberated choline from I-alpha-phosphatidyl

BACKGROUND Food IgE-mediated allergy to members of the Brassicaceae family has been increasingly reported. OBJECTIVE To characterize cabbage-Brassica oleracea var capitata-allergy and its major allergens. METHODS A prospective study was performed, recruiting 17 patients allergic to cabbage, and

Brassica nigra is a newly found invasive species in Zhejiang Province, China. It distributes alongside the roads, in vegetable fields and on riversides. When it blooms, some natives there will suffer from allergic rhinitis. We designed gene-specific primer pairs according to reported profilin genes

BACKGROUND Assessing the allergenicity and toxicity of genetically modified (GM) crops is essential before they become a regular part of our food supply. The present study aimed to assess the allergenicity of Brassica juncea (mustard) expressing choline oxidase (codA) gene from Arthrobacter
