BACKGROUND
The inhalation of Parietaria judaica pollen is a common cause of allergic respiratory diseases in the Mediterranean area. The objective of this study was to investigate the safety and clinical efficacy of a chemically modified (depigmented and glutaraldehyde-polymerized) vaccine of
BACKGROUND
Despite the use of conventional allergen-specific immunotherapy in clinical practice, more defined, efficient, and safer allergy vaccines are required.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to obtain hypoallergenic molecules by deleting B-cell epitopes, which could potentially be applied to
BACKGROUND
Parietaria judaica pollen is a common cause of pollinosis in the Mediterranean area.
OBJECTIVE
This study sought to purify and characterize the peptidase responsible for the majority of proteolytic activity present in the pollen extract of P judaica, and to investigate its contribution to
BACKGROUND
Sublingual-swallow immunotherapy was recently recognized in the World Health Organization Position Paper (Allergen immunotherapy: therapeutic vaccines for allergic diseases) "as a viable alternative to parenteral injection therapy to treat allergic diseases" in adults. More controlled
Parietaria pollen is one of the major causes of allergic reaction in southern Europe, affecting about 30% of all allergic patients in this area. Specific immunotherapy is the only treatment able to modify the natural outcome of the disease by restoring a normal immunity against allergens. The
BACKGROUND
Parietaria judaica is the main cause of allergy in Mediterranean countries. The major allergens from P. judaica pollen, Par j 1 and Par j 2, have amino acid sequence identity of 45% and contain eight cysteine residues involved in disulphide bonds that compact the structure.
OBJECTIVE
The
The diagnosis and therapy of allergic disorders are usually performed with crude extracts which are a heterogeneous mixture of proteins with different allergenic potency. The knowledge of the allergenic composition is a key step for diagnostic and therapeutic options. Parietaria judaica pollen
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study was performed in order to confirm the safety, suitability, and efficacy of an alum-adsorbed Parietaria judaica-pollen allergoid, Allergovit, for allergen-specific immunotherapy. Parietaria pollen is an important cause of pollinosis, particularly in the
BACKGROUND
Allergic inflammation can be experimentally reproduced in vivo in humans, by means of the conjunctival provocation test with allergen. The allergen stimulation triggers an early clinical response and an almost simultaneous cellular infiltrate. Among the factors that can contribute to the
BACKGROUND
The local (noninjection) routes of immunotherapy are presently regarded as viable therapeutic options for respiratory allergy, and their mechanisms of action are currently undergoing investigation.
OBJECTIVE
We evaluated the clinical efficacy of a preseasonal rush sublingual-swallow
Botanical and allergological relations between two Parietaria species with greater pollinosic incidence, P. officinalis and P. judaica-P. diffusa, are examined: taxonomic and morphological aspects are discussed, and a key for their determination is proposed. Results of clinical-allergological survey
BACKGROUND
This paper provides significant ethnopharmacological information on plants used to treat cardiovascular diseases in Navarra, Spain.
METHODS
Information was collected using semi-structured ethnobotanical interviews with 667 informants (mean age 72; 55.47% women, 44.53% men) in 265
