Allergenicity and immunogenicity of the major mugwort pollen allergen Art v 1 chemically modified by acetylation
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2009)
Treating allergies with modified allergens is an approach to make the treatment safer and more efficient. Art v 1 is the most prominent allergen of mugwort pollen and a significant cause of hayfever around Europe. The aim ...
Prevalence of antibodies to Rickettsiae in different regions of Serbia
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, New Rochelle, 2008)
We assayed the presence of antibodies specific for Rickettsia typhi, R. akari, and R. conorii in sera of persons from several localities in Serbia with different geographic, climatic, and lifestyle characteristics. Sera ...
Peripheral effects of methionine-enkephalin on inflammatory reactions and behavior in the rat
(Karger, Basel, 2000)
Methionine-enkephalin (Met-Enk) induces notable alterations in immune and central nervous system functions. The present study was conducted in order to compare peripheral and central effects of Met-Enk on nonspecific ...
Immediate allergic reactions to cephalosporins and penicillins and their cross-reactivity in children
(Blackwell Munksgaard, 2005)
Penicillins and cephalosporins are the most important betalactams inducing IgE-mediated reactions. The safety of administering cephalosporins to penicillin-allergic children is a particular problem, because cephalosporin ...
Acid-formed pectin gel delays major incomplete kiwi fruit allergen Act c 1 proteolysis in in vitro gastrointestinal digestion
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, Chichester, 2009)
BACKGROUND: It is thought that food sensitisers must be able to reach the intestine in order to sensitise patients. Pectin is a gel-forming plant polysaccharide that can protect allergens from in vivo gastric digestion and ...
The neuronal and immune memory systems as supervisors of neural plasticity and aging of the brain - From phenomenology to coding of information
(New York Acad Sciences, New York, 2005)
The ultimate goal of this report is to learn how to manipulate the level of memory T cells for more effective treatment of such neurological diseases as multiple sclerosis (MS), where certain T cell subsets recognize ...
The influence of a residual group in low-molecular-weight allergoids of Artemisia vulgaris pollen on their allergenicity, IgE- and IgG-binding properties
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2002)
Background: Reaction of epsilon-amino groups of lysine with potassium cyanate, maleic, or succinic anhydride leads to allergoids of low molecular weight. No study has been performed to compare their properties and investigate ...
A matrix effect in pectin-rich fruits hampers digestion of allergen by pepsin in vivo and in vitro
(Clinical and Experimental Allergy, 2007)
Background: It is a general belief that a food allergen should be stable to gastric digestion. Various acidic plant polysaccharides, including pectin, are ubiquitous in fruit matrixes and can form hydrogels under low-pH ...
Aging, aluminium and basal forebrain lesions modify substrate kinetics of erythrocyte membrane Na, K-ATPase in the rat
(IOS Press, Amsterdam, 2008)
Several studies suggested that the activity of erythrocyte Na, K-ATPase declines with aging. Here, it is postulated that alterations in the substrate kinetics of the erythrocyte membrane Na, K-ATPase could be more aggravated ...
Alterations in thymopoiesis in intact and peripubertally orchidectomized adult rats of different age
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2002)
In adult rats 3, 6 and 9 months post-orchidectomy performed at the age of 30 days the thymus weight, thymocyte yield and relative proportions of thymocyte subsets (delineated by expression of CD4/CD8 molecules and TCRalphabeta) ...
