Molecular cloning and epitope analysis of the peanut allergen Ara h 3. (1/860)
Peanut allergy is a significant IgE-mediated health problem because of the increased prevalence, potential severity, and chronicity of the reaction. Following our characterization of the two peanut allergens Ara h 1 and Ara h 2, we have isolated a cDNA clone encoding a third peanut allergen, Ara h 3. The deduced amino acid sequence of Ara h 3 shows homology to 11S seed-storage proteins. The recombinant form of this protein was expressed in a bacterial system and was recognized by serum IgE from approximately 45% of our peanut-allergic patient population. Serum IgE from these patients and overlapping, synthetic peptides were used to map the linear, IgE-binding epitopes of Ara h 3. Four epitopes, between 10 and 15 amino acids in length, were found within the primary sequence, with no obvious sequence motif shared by the peptides. One epitope is recognized by all Ara h 3-allergic patients. Mutational analysis of the epitopes revealed that single amino acid changes within these peptides could lead to a reduction or loss of IgE binding. By determining which amino acids are critical for IgE binding, it might be possible to alter the Ara h 3 cDNA to encode a protein with a reduced IgE-binding capacity. These results will enable the design of improved diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for food-hypersensitivity reactions. (+info)Involvement of tachykinin receptors in sensitisation to cow's milk proteins in guinea pigs. (2/860)
BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence for a pivotal role for tachykinins in gut neuroimmune interactions. AIMS: To determine whether NK1, NK2, and NK3 tachykinin receptors are involved in milk protein induced allergic sensitisation. METHODS: Eight groups of 12 Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs (250-300 g) were used. Four groups were sensitised to milk proteins for three weeks. During this period, these animals were injected intraperitoneally each day with NK1 (SR 140333; 0.3 mg/kg), NK2 (SR 48968; 5 mg/kg), or NK3 (SR 142801; 5 mg/kg) receptor antagonist or vehicle. The fifth group had water available instead of milk and was used as a non-sensitised control. The three other groups received the NK receptor antagonists for three weeks but were not sensitised to milk proteins. RESULTS: Sensitised animals treated with NK1 and NK3 receptor antagonists had both lower IgE and IgG serum titres, evaluated by passive cutaneous anaphylaxis, and lower specific IgG serum titres, determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), than vehicle treated animals. Sensitisation induced an increase in intestinal mast cell number which was abolished by treatment with the NK1 receptor antagonist. Antigenic challenge-induced jejunal hypersecretion was also blocked by treatment with the NK1 receptor antagonist. CONCLUSION: In guinea pigs, NK1 and NK3 but not NK2 receptors are involved in sensitisation to cow's milk. However, NK1 but not NK3 receptor antagonists abolish both the hypermastocytosis induced by food allergy and the hypersecretion induced by antigenic challenge, suggesting different roles for NK1 and NK3 receptors in the mechanisms of sensitisation to beta-lactoglobulin. (+info)Dental surgeons with natural rubber latex allergy: a report of 20 cases. (3/860)
Latex allergy is becoming a major occupational health issue and dental surgeons are at risk from becoming sensitized to natural rubber latex. A study was conducted to investigate risk factors and glove-related symptoms reported by dentists with natural rubber latex allergy. Twenty dentists, who had undergone serological or dermatological testing for a Type I allergy to latex, were identified from a questionnaire survey. Risk factors investigated were: gender, years in clinical practice, exposure to latex gloves, atopic history and food allergy. The majority of dentists (75%) gave an atopic history. Glove-related adverse reactions ranged from cutaneous to systemic manifestations. All twenty dentists reported itching of the hands in response to latex gloves. One respondent was unable to continue in dental practice because of her glove-related allergies; nineteen dentists were able to continue by using synthetic, non-latex gloves. (+info)Acute liver injury that followed food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis. (4/860)
We describe an unusual case of acute liver injury that followed food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIAn). A 45-year-old man who experienced anaphylactic shock induced by postprandial exercise and took alcohol that night was admitted the following day to our hospital because of general fatigue. Laboratory examinations revealed elevated hepatic enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 6,110 IU, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 4,178 IU). He had two similar episodes in the past. We speculated that acute liver injury in this case might be induced by interaction of anaphylactic shock and alcohol. (+info)Allergen mimotopes in food enhance type I allergic reactions in mice. (5/860)
BIP1is a murine IgG antibody capable of enhancing the IgE binding to Bet v 1, the major birch pollen allergen. We have previously generated a mimotope of BIP1, designated Bet mim 1, from a constrained phage display peptide library. We demonstrated that oral immunization of BALB/c mice with the Bet mim 1 mimotope resulted in the induction of Bet v 1-specific IgG. The aim of this study was to test the influence of such an oral immunization with Bet mim 1 on a subsequent type I allergic response to Bet v 1. Phages displaying Bet mim 1 or control mimotopes, or PBS alone, were delivered to BALB/c mice by intragastric gavages prior to systemic sensitization with recombinant Bet v 1 and Al(OH)(3), an adjuvant inducing preferentially IgE antibody responses. Only mice fed with Bet mim 1-phages displayed substantially enhanced type I allergic skin reactivity to Bet v 1, as compared to mice pretreated with control mimotopes or PBS. A gastric digestion assay indicated that Bet v 1 and its homologue from apple, Mal d 1, were degraded within seconds under physiological conditions. In contrast, phage-displayed mimotopes were resistant to digestion. Our data indicate that allergen mimics in the diet that resist digestion, can induce allergen specific IgG able to enhance an allergic response. We therefore conclude that sensitization via the oral route may represent a mechanism for aggravating type I allergic reactions, probably leading to an earlier onset of symptoms even at lower allergen dosage. (+info)Characterisation of immune mediator release during the immediate response to segmental mucosal challenge in the jejunum of patients with food allergy. (6/860)
BACKGROUND: Food allergy is a common complaint among patients with a broad spectrum of abdominal and extra-abdominal symptoms that must be distinguished from other more common non-immunological food intolerances. AIMS: To investigate whether human intestinal hypersensitivity reactions are associated with detectable release of inflammatory mediators from activated cells, which may serve as a biological marker of true allergic reactions. PATIENTS/METHODS: In eight patients with food allergy and seven healthy volunteers, a closed-segment perfusion technique was used to investigate the effects of jejunal food challenge on luminal release of tryptase, histamine, prostaglandin D(2), eosinophil cationic protein, peroxidase activity, and water flux. RESULTS: Intraluminal administration of food antigens induced a rapid increase in intestinal release of tryptase, histamine, prostaglandin D(2), and peroxidase activity (p<0.05 v basal period) but not eosinophil cationic protein. The increased release of these mediators was associated with a notable water secretory response. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that human intestinal hypersensitivity reactions are characterised by prompt activation of mast cells and other immune cells, with notable and immediate secretion of water and inflammatory mediators into the intestinal lumen. Analysis of the profile of markers released into the jejunum after food provocation may be useful for the objective diagnosis of food allergy. (+info)Characterization of a core alpha1-->3-fucosyltransferase from the snail Lymnaea stagnalis that is involved in the synthesis of complex-type N-glycans. (7/860)
We have identified a core alpha1-->3-fucosyltransferase activity in the albumin and prostate glands of the snail Lymnaea stagnalis. Incubation of albumin gland extracts with GDP-[(14)C]Fuc and asialo/agalacto-glycopeptides from human fibrinogen resulted in a labeled product in 50% yield. Analysis of the product by 400 MHz (1)H-NMR spectroscopy showed the presence of a Fuc residue alpha1-->3-linked to the Asn-linked GlcNAc. Therefore, the enzyme can be identified as a GDP-Fuc:GlcNAc (Asn-linked) alpha1-->3-fucosyltransferase. The enzyme acts efficiently on asialo/agalacto-glycopeptides from both human fibrinogen and core alpha1-->6-fucosylated human IgG, whereas bisected asialo/agalacto-glycopeptide could not serve as an acceptor. We propose that the enzyme functions in the synthesis of core alpha1-->3-fucosylated complex-type glycans in L. stagnalis. Core alpha1-->3-fucosylation of the asparagine-linked GlcNAc of plant- and insect-derived glycoproteins is often associated with the allergenicity of such glycoproteins. Since allergic reactions have been reported after consumption of snails, the demonstration of core alpha1-->3-fucosylation in L. stagnalis may be clinically relevant. (+info)Alternative treatments for rheumatoid arthritis. (8/860)
Conventional treatments for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) present a number of problems, in terms of both safety and efficacy. A number of different alternative therapies have been studied, including dietary modifications, nutritional supplements, botanicals, and antibiotics. While the response to these treatments is variable and often unpredictable, some patients have shown dramatic improvement or even complete and long-lasting remission. Moreover, alternative therapies, with the exception of antibiotics, have a low incidence of adverse effects. Consideration of these treatment options has the potential to benefit many patients with RA. (+info)Food hypersensitivity, also known as food allergy, is an immune system response to certain foods that can cause a range of symptoms from mild to severe.
Food hypersensitivity, also known as food allergy, is a condition in which the immune system reacts abnormally to certain foods. When a person with food hypersensitivity consumes a food to which they are allergic, their immune system produces antibodies that attack the food as a foreign substance. This can cause a range of symptoms, from mild to severe, including hives, itching, swelling, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and difficulty breathing. In severe cases, food hypersensitivity can lead to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction that requires immediate medical attention. Food hypersensitivity is typically diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and allergy testing. Treatment typically involves avoiding the foods to which a person is allergic and carrying an epinephrine auto-injector in case of an allergic reaction.
Milk hypersensitivity, also known as lactose intolerance, is a condition in which the body is unable to properly digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products.
Milk hypersensitivity, also known as lactose intolerance, is a condition in which the body is unable to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products. This can cause symptoms such as bloating, gas, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Milk hypersensitivity is not the same as an allergy to milk, which is an immune system response to a specific protein in milk. Milk hypersensitivity is more common than milk allergy and can be diagnosed through a lactose tolerance test. Treatment typically involves avoiding dairy products or taking lactase supplements to help digest lactose.
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a type of antibody that plays a key role in the immune system's response to allergens and parasites.
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a type of antibody that plays a key role in the immune system's response to allergens and parasites. It is produced by B cells in response to specific antigens, such as those found in pollen, dust mites, or certain foods. When an allergen enters the body, it triggers the production of IgE antibodies by B cells. These antibodies then bind to mast cells and basophils, which are immune cells that are involved in the inflammatory response. When the same allergen enters the body again, the IgE antibodies on the mast cells and basophils bind to the allergen and cause the release of histamine and other inflammatory chemicals. This leads to symptoms such as itching, swelling, and difficulty breathing. IgE is also involved in the immune response to parasites, such as worms. In this case, the IgE antibodies help to trap and kill the parasites by binding to them and marking them for destruction by other immune cells. Overall, IgE is an important part of the immune system's defense against allergens and parasites, but it can also contribute to allergic reactions and other inflammatory conditions when it binds to inappropriate antigens.
Hypersensitivity, delayed, also known as type IV hypersensitivity, is a type of immune response that occurs 24-72 hours after exposure to an allergen, characterized by inflammation and damage to tissues.
Hypersensitivity, delayed, also known as type IV hypersensitivity or cell-mediated hypersensitivity, is a type of immune response that occurs after an initial exposure to a foreign substance, such as a protein or a drug. Unlike immediate hypersensitivity, which occurs within minutes or hours of exposure, delayed hypersensitivity takes several days to develop. In delayed hypersensitivity, immune cells called T cells recognize and remember the foreign substance. When the immune system encounters the same substance again, the T cells become activated and release chemicals that cause inflammation and damage to the tissue where the substance is located. This can lead to symptoms such as redness, swelling, and itching, and in severe cases, can cause tissue damage or even organ failure. Delayed hypersensitivity is often associated with allergic reactions to certain drugs, metals, or chemicals, as well as with certain infections, such as tuberculosis and leprosy. It is also a key component of the immune response to transplanted organs, as the immune system recognizes the foreign tissue and mounts an attack against it.
Drug hypersensitivity is an adverse immune response to a medication that occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to a normally harmless substance.
Drug hypersensitivity is a type of adverse drug reaction that occurs when a person's immune system overreacts to a medication. It can cause a range of symptoms, from mild skin rashes to severe allergic reactions that can be life-threatening. Drug hypersensitivity can be classified into several types, including: 1. Type I hypersensitivity: This is an immediate reaction that occurs within minutes to hours of taking the medication. It is caused by the release of histamine and other chemicals from immune cells, which can cause symptoms such as itching, hives, and swelling. 2. Type II hypersensitivity: This is a delayed reaction that occurs within days to weeks of taking the medication. It is caused by the immune system attacking and destroying cells in the body that are sensitive to the drug. 3. Type III hypersensitivity: This is a more complex reaction that involves the formation of immune complexes in the blood, which can cause inflammation and damage to tissues. 4. Type IV hypersensitivity: This is a chronic reaction that occurs over a longer period of time and is characterized by inflammation and tissue damage. Drug hypersensitivity can be difficult to diagnose because the symptoms can be similar to those of other conditions. It is important for healthcare providers to carefully monitor patients who are taking medications and to discontinue the medication if a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected.
