  1. 6. Recombinant cat and mite allergens as tools in the study of diagnosis and treatment of allergy

    Författare :Tiiu Saarne; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Allergic diseases, such as allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic eczema, are a major health problem world-wide, affecting up to 30% of the population. A large proportion of the patients are allergic to indoor allergens, such as mite and cat allergens, which are airborne and thus cause symptoms in the airways upon inhalation. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Molecular characterisation of major allergens from mite (Lep d 2) and cat (Fel d 1)

    Författare :Liselotte Kaiser; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Allergens allergy; cat; mite; immunotherapy; recombinant allergens.;

    Sammanfattning : The prevalence of allergic disease has increased significantly during the last decades and today more than 30% of the Swedish population is affected. By using recombinant allergens, diagnostics and treatment can be improved and the mechanisms of allergic reactions may be further explored. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Clinical and immunological studies of respiratory allergy among farmers : with focus on dust mite allergy

    Författare :Marianne Kronqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :asthma; exposure; farmers; Lepidoglyphus destructor; recombinant allergen; rhinoconjuctivitis; risk factors; sensitisation; storage mites; Tyrophagus putrescentiae;

    Sammanfattning : Many studies have shown an increase in the prevalence of asthma and rhinoconjunctivitis in most of the industrialised world. In addition, occupational asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis and allergies have increased during the last decade. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Selenocysteine in proteins : properties and biotechnological use

    Författare :Linda Johansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Selenocysteine; recombinant selenoprotein production; thioredoxin reductase; enzymology; protein labeling; mite allergy; mouse model;

    Sammanfattning : Selenocysteine (Sec), the 21st amino acid, exists in all kingdoms of life and has unique biochemical properties, such as high electrophilicity and low pKa. The highly increased reactivity of selenoenzymes compared to their sulfur-containing cysteine-dependent homologs is generally regarded as the evolutionary reason for having selenoproteins. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Allergy to pets : molecular approaches for improved diagnostics and vaccination

    Författare :Ola Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Allergic diseases are a major health problem, affecting up to 30% of the population in affluent countries. Domestic pets such as cats, dogs and horses are among the most common agents of IgE-mediated allergies. LÄS MER
