  1. 1. Use of Recombinant Allergens for Component-Resolved Diagnostics (CRD) in IgE-Mediated Allergy

    Författare :Åsa Marknell DeWitt; Pia Ek; Jonas Lidholm; Ronald van Ree; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Biomedical laboratory science; recombinant allergen; IgE; component-resolved diagnostics; CRD; tropomyosin; Phl p 11; Phl p 4; Pen a 1; Hev b 5; Biomedicinsk laboratorievetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergy occurs when our immune system causes a reaction to otherwise harmless substances (allergens). Allergens are predominantly proteins present in biological materials such as pollens, mites, animal epithelia, moulds and foods. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Novel allergen preparations for use in allergen-specific immunotherapy

    Författare :Theresa Neimert Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Allergy; allergen-specific immunotherapy; adjuvants; carbohydrate-based particles; allergic asthma; mouse models; hypoallergens;

    Sammanfattning : Allergy is a common disease in the industrialized countries, affecting approximately 25% of the population. Therefore, there is a need to find new treatment strategies to improve the quality of life for allergic individuals. Today the only treatment that gives long-lasting reduction of allergic symptoms is allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT). LÄS MER

  4. 3. Diagnosis of IgE-mediated allergy : new approaches using recombinant allergens

    Författare :Hans Grönlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Allergens; allergy; cat; diagnostics; immunotherapy; recombinant allergens;

    Sammanfattning : More than 10% of the population in industrialized countries suffer from lgE-mediated cat allergy. Allergens produced by recombinant techniques offer new possibilites to diagnose and treat allergic patients but will also help to uncover the mechanisms behind the sensitisation. LÄS MER

  5. 4. A study of allergens in the mite Lepidoglyphus destructor, using monoclonal antibodies and recombinant techniques

    Författare :Susanna Olsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :allergen; characterization; dust mite; IgE-reactivity; monoclonal antibody; recombinant allergen; site-directed mutagenesis;

    Sammanfattning : Mites are one of the most common causes of allergic reactions in many parts of the world. They can broadly be divided into two categories: house dust mites, primarily found in dwellings, and storage mites, primarily found in farming environments and grain storage facilities. Storage mites have now also been shown to exist in house dust. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Identification and characterization of allergen components of the opportunistic yeast Malassezia furfur

    Författare :Arezou Zargari; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :allergen; atopic dermatitis; baculovirus; Candida albicans; CAP RAST; cDNA; confocal laser scanning microscopy; Escherichia coli; IgE; Malassezia furfur; monoclonal antibody; Pityrosporum orbiculare; recombinant allergen; yeast.;

    Sammanfattning : The yeast Malassezia furfur (Pityrosporum orbiculare) is a member of the human normal skin microflora. It has been suggested that this yeast plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD). In 40-65% of patients with AD anti-M. furfur activity has been shown with skin tests and/or specific IgE serology. LÄS MER
