Evaluation of IgE reactivity of active and thermally inactivated actinidin, a biomarker of kiwifruit allergy
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
Actinidin, an abundant cysteine protease from kiwifruit, is a specific biomarker of isolated allergy to kiwifruit. This study evaluates the IgE-binding properties of biologically active and thermally inactivated actinidin. ...
Ongoing mumps outbreak in Novi Sad, the autonomous province of Vojvodina, Serbia, January to April 2012
(Eur Centre Dis Prevention & Control, Stockholm, 2012)
From 16 January to 30 April 2012, a total of 119 cases of mumps were notified in Novi Sad, Serbia. Of these cases, 89 (75%), were among students. The average age of cases was 22 years-old ( range 3-37). The outbreak is ...
Molecular and immunological characterization of Mus a 5 allergen from banana fruit
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2012)
Scope Banana fruit has become an important cause of fruit allergy in the recent years. Among the five registered IUIS allergens, Mus a 1 and Mus a 2 have been characterized in detail. In this study, molecular characterization ...
Evaluation of the thermal stability and digestibility of heterologously produced banana lectin
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
The thermal stability of recombinant mannose-specific banana lectin (rBanLec), as well as its stability under conditions of simulated gastro-intestinal fluid (SGF), was investigated. rBanLec was heterologously produced in ...
Cysteine proteinase inhibitor Act d 4 is a functional allergen contributing to the clinical symptoms of kiwifruit allergy
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2010)
Kiwifruit has become a frequent cause of fruit allergy in the recent years. The molecular basis of type I hypersensitivity to kiwifruit is attributed to 11 IUIS allergens, with Act d 1, Act d 2 and Act d 5 characterized ...
In-depth quantitative profiling of post-translational modifications of Timothy grass pollen allergome in relation to environmental oxidative stress
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
An association between pollution (e.g., from traffic emissions) and the increased prevalence of respiratory allergies has been observed. Field-realistic exposure studies provide the most relevant assessment of the effects ...
Sexual dimorphism in Th17/Treg axis in lymph nodes draining inflamed joints in rats with collagen-induced arthritis
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2019)
Collagen type II-induced arthritis (CIA) in Dark Agouti rats, a model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), reproduces sexual dimorphism in the incidence and severity of the human disease. Th17 cells are central in the ...
Digestibility and allergenicity assessment of enzymatically crosslinked beta-casein
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2010)
Crosslinking enzymes are frequently used in bioprocessing of dairy products. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of enzymatic crosslinking on IgE binding, allergenicity and digestion stability of beta-casein ...
