Carbohydrate Epitopes and Their Relevance for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Allergic DiseasesInternational Archives of Allergy and Immunology - Tập 129 Số 3 - Trang 189-197 - 2002
Ronald van Ree
Allergenicity of plant and invertebrate N-glycans has been shown to be caused by the presence of two typical nonmammalian substitutions: an α(1,3)-fucose linked to the proximal N-acetylglucosamine and a β(1,2)-xylose linked to the core mannose. IgE antibodies against these carbohydrate structures are induced upon exposure to pollen or after insect stings, and result in extensive cross-reac...... hiện toàn bộ
Novel Treatments for Drug-Induced Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (Lyell’s Syndrome)International Archives of Allergy and Immunology - Tập 136 Số 3 - Trang 205-216 - 2005
Philippe Paquet, Gérald Pierard, Pascale Quatresooz
Drug-induced toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a life-threatening disease characterized by extensive destruction of the epidermis. It apparently results from the formation of specific toxic drug metabolites by the keratinocytes. The mortality rate which averages 25–30% is mainly due to secondary septicemia, and to ionic and metabolic disturbances following loss of epidermal integrity. Ap...... hiện toàn bộ
Standardization of Allergenic Extracts of <i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i>International Archives of Allergy and Immunology - Tập 76 Số 2 - Trang 168-173 - 1985
H.F. Kauffman, S. van der Heide, Siem van der Laan, H. Hovenga, F Beaumont, K. de Vries
During cultivation of <i>Aspergillus fumigatus </i>a rapid liberation of IgE-binding components was found reaching maximum values during the logarithmic phase of growth (phase I). After a fall in IgE-binding titers during phase II, appearance of additional IgE-binding components was noted during the period of lysis of the microorganism (phase III). These latter allergenic compo...... hiện toàn bộ
Allergenic and Antigenic Cross-Reactivities of Group IX Grass Pollen AllergensInternational Archives of Allergy and Immunology - Tập 96 Số 1 - Trang 28-34 - 1991
Lei Zhang, F.T. Kisil, A.H. Sehon, Shyam S. Mohapatra
The allergenic and antigenic cross-reactivities between a major recombinant <i>Poa pratensis</i><i>(Poa p)</i> IX allergen, rKBG8.3, and its corresponding proteins of different grass pollens were examined. Immunoblotting of the proteins of thirteen different grass pollens using anti-rKBG8.3 antibodies indicated that <i>Poa p</i> IX-like proteins are pres...... hiện toàn bộ
Oculogyric Dystonic Reaction to Escitalopram with Features of Anaphylaxis Including Response to EpinephrineInternational Archives of Allergy and Immunology - Tập 140 Số 1 - Trang 27-29 - 2006
Ojas Patel, Michael R. Simon
Dystonia-associated features of anaphylaxis, including tongue swelling, and chest and throat tightness, have been rarely reported with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) use. The patient is a 44-year-old woman who presented with palpitations, diaphoresis, dyspnea, swelling of the lips and tongue, and fixed upward deviation of her right eye following inadvertent ingestion of 20 m...... hiện toàn bộ
Identification of a <i>Hevea brasiliensis</i> Latex Manganese Superoxide Dismutase (Hev b 10) as a Cross-Reactive AllergenInternational Archives of Allergy and Immunology - Tập 125 Số 2 - Trang 120-127 - 2001
Stefan Wagner, Slawomir Sowka, Christine Mayer, Reto Crameri, M. Focke, Viswanath P. Kurup, Otto Scheiner, Heimo Breiteneder
<i>Background:</i> Cross-reactive allergens play an increasingly important role in latex allergy in complicating both the diagnosis and time course of allergic symptoms. Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), a ubiquitous protein of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, was described as a cross-reactive allergen in <i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i>. Little information i...... hiện toàn bộ
Detection of Antibodies to Streptococcal Mucopeptide in Patients with Rheumatic Disorders and Normal ControlsInternational Archives of Allergy and Immunology - Tập 67 Số 3 - Trang 267-274 - 1982
Richard M. Pope, Joel E. Rutstein, David C. Straus
Bacterial mucopeptide is an integral part of bacterial cell walls and is therefore ubiquitous in our environment. An enhanced degree of humoral immunity has been detected not only in patients with acute rheumatic fever (ARF), with a known recent response to streptococci, but also in patients with adult and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (RA and JRA). Our studies confirmed this association w...... hiện toàn bộ
Perfluorocarbon Enhancement of Heterologous Red Cell Survival: A Reticuloendothelial Block Effect?International Archives of Allergy and Immunology - Tập 70 Số 1 - Trang 88-91 - 1983
Oswaldo Castro, C. A. Reindorf, W.W. Socha, Arthur W. Rowe
The intravascular survival of human erythrocytes transfused to primate animals was prolonged by infusing the recepients with a perfluorocarbon red cell substitute (Fluosol DA). This effect is probably due to transient block of the animals’ reticuloendothelial system by the perfluorocarbon emulsion. Perfluorocarbon compounds could be used to study the role of reticuloendothelial function in...... hiện toàn bộ
