insect bites and stings/albumin

BACKGROUND Serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) has emerged as a potentially valuable diagnostic tool in avian medicine; yet, there is limited information regarding SPE in cranes. Since 2000, 20 cases of unilateral periocular or facial soft tissue swelling, blepharitis, feather loss, and ocular or

Our previous studies led to the development of a drug, 10-undecen-1- pseudothiourea iodide (AHR-1911), with the characteristics of a broad spectrum of antibacterial-antimycotic action and anti-inflammatory properties in experimental lesions induced by burns, dextran, albumin, carrageenin and kaolin.

BACKGROUND Companion animals are also affected by IgE-mediated allergies, but the eliciting molecules are largely unknown. We aimed at refining an allergen microarray to explore sensitization in horses and compare it to the human IgE reactivity profiles. METHODS Custom-designed allergen microarray

The availability of allergen molecules ('components') from several protein families has advanced our understanding of immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated responses and enabled 'component-resolved diagnosis' (CRD). The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Molecular Allergology
