Allergen-specific IgG4 (sIgG4) antibodies are often associated with tolerance, but sIgG4 antibodies to causally relevant foods have been reported recently in adults with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Prevalence and levels of food sIgG4 are not well established in the general pediatric population.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is associated with specific IgG4 antibodies (sIgG4) to common foods, especially cow’s milk (CM). Little is known regarding the epidemiology of sIgG4 to CM or other foods in the general population. Thus, the diagnostic utility of IgG4 assays is unclear.

Background: Pollen-food syndrome (PFS) is heterogeneous with regard to triggers,severity, natural history, comorbidities, and response to treatment. Our study aimed to classify different endotypes of PFS based on IgE sensitization to panallergens.

Background: The house dust mite (HDM) allergen Der p 13 could be a lipid-binding protein able to activate key innate signaling pathways in the initiation of the allergic response. We investigated the IgE reactivity of recombinant Der p 13 (rDer p 13), its lipid-binding activities, and its capacity to stimulate airway epithelium cells.

Der p 23 was recently identified in a European population as a major allergen and potentially a chitin binding protein.

Background: Although the genetics of asthma has been extensively studied using both quantitative and molecular genetic analysis methods, both approaches lack studies specific to the childhood phenotype and including other allergic diseases.This study aimed to give specific estimates for the heritability of childhood asthma and other allergic diseases, to attempt to replicate findings from genomewide association studies (GWAS) for childhood asthma and to test the same variants against other allergic diseases.

Background: The shift in airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) phenotype between proliferation and contraction during asthma has been reported recently, highlighting a role of ASMCs plasticity in the pathophysiology of asthma. As an event involved in epigenetic post-translational modification, histone H3 lysine27 (H3K27) demethylation has attracted significant attention with respect to the epigenetic changes in diverse cells; however, little is known about its contribution to the switching of ASMCs phenotype in asthma .

Differences in the IgE response to isoallergens could have clinical implications; therefore, its analysis will contribute to the design of better strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of allergic respiratory diseases. Several isoforms have been described from mites but there is no information about the clinical impact of Blomia tropicalis isoallergens.

To establish by oral food challenge the proportion of children with clinical peanut allergy among those considered peanut-sensitized by using skin prick tests and/or IgE measurement, and to investigate whether component-resolved diagnostics using microarray could differentiate peanut allergy from tolerance.

A systematic nomenclature for allergens originated in the early 1980s, when few protein allergens had been described. A group of scientists led by Dr. David G. Marsh developed a nomenclature based on the Linnaean taxonomy, and further established the World Health Organization/International Union of Immunological Societies (WHO/IUIS) Allergen Nomenclature Sub-Committee in 1986. Its stated aim was to standardize the names given to the antigens (allergens) that caused IgE-mediated allergies in humans.

Increasing dairy consumption in China has been accompanied by rising incidence of milk allergy. Here we analyzed profiles of specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) against cow's milk proteins, and assessed their value for milk allergy diagnosis among infants and young children from northern China.

Egg allergy is the most common food allergy in children with atopic dermatitis (AD). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of egg allergy, component patterns and predictive values of screening tests in egg allergy in South African children with AD.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of cow’s milk components specific IgE levels in predicting clinical tolerance in patients with milk allergy.

We report a case of an eleven years old girl who was referred to our Allergy Outpatient Clinic for the revaluation of a hazelnut allergy. During her infancy she was successfully desensitised to milk and egg. Afterward she had been followed by another Allergy Unit where, according to skin prick test and specific IgE dosage, it had been suggested to strictly avoid peanut and all treenuts, although clinical history was not suggestive of treenuts allergy. She was also provided with an auto-injectable adrenaline, due to the high risk of severe reactions to treenuts. No oral provocation test was performed to validate diagnosis and adrenaline prescription.

Background: Accurate allergen quantification is needed to document the consistency of allergen extracts used for immunotherapy. Herein, we characterize the epitope specificities of two monoclonal antibodies used in an ELISA for the quantification of the major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1, established as a reference by the BSP090 European project.

Background: Cat allergy is a major trigger of asthma worldwide. Molecular patterns of cat sensitisationvary between individuals, but their relationship to inflammation in asthmatics has not beenextensively studied. Methods: Patients with asthma (age 10?35 years; n=266) and IgE sensitisation to cat, dog or horse extract (ImmunoCAP), were analysed for IgE to the cat allergen components Fel d 1 (secretoglobin), Fel d 2 (serum albumin), Fel d 4 and Fel d 7 (lipocalins). Independent associations between IgE-antibody concentrations, and fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), blood eosinophil (B-Eos) count, and total IgE were analysed by multiple linear regression after adjustment for possible confounders.

Background: Screening for specific IgE against 2S albumin proteins Ara h 2 and 6 has good positive predictive value in diagnosing peanut allergy. From the third 2S member Ara h 7, 3 isoforms have been identified. Their allergenicity has not been elucidated.

Background:Shellfish allergy is one of the commonest food allergies in the tropics. Methods:Serum allergen-specific IgE of 105 subjects were quantified using ImmunoCAP and ImmunoCAP ISAC biochips. The subjects were classified based on a convincing clinical history and food challenge testing (FC) (dose=70g) to Penaeus monodon and Litopenaeus vannamei. Group1A: Either SA with FC positive to either shrimp (n =22) or SA admitted to emergency departments for severe reactions but no FC performed (n=14) (total n=36); and Group1B: Reported SA with FC negative (n=31). Group2: Shellfish tolerant DM sensitized controls (n= 38).

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) may facilitate cell-to-cell communication via extracellular vesicles (EVs). The biological roles of miRNAs in EVs on allergic airway inflammation are unclear. Methods: Airway-secreted EVs (AEVs) were isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of control and house-dust mite (HDM) allergen-exposed HDM-sensitized mice.
