Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and asthma commonly co-occur. No studies have leveraged large samples needed to formally address whether preexisting CRS is associated with new onset asthma over time.

Background: As the process and nature of developing sensitivity to house dust mites (HDMs) remain not fully studied,our goal was to establish the pattern, nature and timeframe of house dust mite (HDM) sensitization development in patients in Ukraine as well as the period when treatment of such patients would be most effective.

Background: House dust mites (HDM) are among the most important sources for airborne allergens with high relevance for atopic diseases. Routine tests contain only 4 of 32 registered allergens of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. Clinical relevance and pathomechanistic properties of many allergens are not well understood.

Background: Component-Resolved diagnosis (CRD) can help to establish immunoglobulin E (IgE) sensitization profiles and potential risks and determines whether specific IgE is the result of primary sensitization or cross-reactivity, especially for those who are polysensitized.

Background: Component-resolved diagnosis (CRD) allows to identify single molecular allergen components, and constitutes a routine practice in many allergy units. However, skin prick test (SPT) remains the technique of choice in many otorhinolaryngology departments, thus increasing the risk of using inadequate immunotherapies in patients with respiratory allergies. This study aimed to compare sensitization profles determined by SPT and CRD in patients with respiratory allergy, and to explore the relationship between sensitization and type and severity of the respiratory disease.

Objective: Using multiplex microarray-based component resolved diagnosis (CRD) to investigate the allergen sensitization profile of allergic asthma patients in southern China.

Background: Molecular antibody reactivity profiles have not yet been studied in depth in patients treated by sublingual house dust mite (HDM) tablet immunotherapy. Humoral immune responses to a large panel of HDM mite allergens were studied using allergen microarray technology in a subset of clinically defined high and low responder patients from a double-blind placebo-controlled allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) trial using sublingual 300 IR HDM tablets.

Introduction: Asymptomatic sensitization is defined as the presence of positive skin prick test (SPT) and/or positive serum allergen-specific IgE in the absence of clinical allergic symptoms. Currently, there is no convincing explanation why some people with positive allergen tests do not show symptoms. We aimed to investigate the house dust mite (HDM)-specific IgE and IgG4 repertoire in asymptomatic HDM-sensitized subjects and HDM-induced allergic rhinitis(AR) patients.

Background: Diagnostic tests for fish allergy are hampered by the large number of under-investigated fish species. Four salmon allergens are well-characterized and registered with the WHO/IUIS while no catfish allergens have been described so far. In 2008, freshwater-cultured catfish production surpassed that of salmon, the globally most-cultured marine species. We aimed to identify, quantify, and compare all IgE-binding proteins in salmon and catfish.

Background: Patients with peach allergy due to nsLTP sensitisation constitute a heterogeneous group in terms of sensitisation profile and severity. This could be due to the presence of additional allergies to pollens. The aim of this study was to analyse the clinical characteristics, sensitization profile, and severity of reactions in peach-allergic patients sensitised to nsLTP from two Mediterranean areas with different pollen exposure.

Background: The objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of allergen immunotherapy (AIT) with an allergoid in the treatment of house dust mites (HDM)-induced allergic rhinitis and/or asthma based on recent real-life data. The outcomes were measured using asthma incidence and consumption of corresponding medications as the indicator of persisting symptoms.

Ara h 2 specific-IgE (sIgE) is to date the best serologic marker to diagnose peanut allergy. Ara h 6 shares ～60% sequence identity and multiple epitopes with Ara h 2.

The IgE-binding B-cell epitopes of two similar soybean glycinin subunits (Gly m 6) are described. 　 ? Three-dimensional modeling of the glycinin hexamers located most epitopes on the exposed surfaces. 　 ? Comparison with other plant 11S storage protein sequences revealed one dominant and several shared epitopes. 　 ? Common epitope hot spots are often shared between plant storage proteins from diverse families.

Increasing data suggest that analysis of IgE to peanut components can be clinically helpful and possibly more accurate than IgE to whole peanut. Not all studies examining this topic, however, have used prospective samples, multiple components, and peanut challenges.

Peanut allergy is one of the most common, severe, and usually lifelong food allergies, and accurate diagnosis is essential.1x1Sicherer, S.H. and Sampson, H.A. Peanut allergy: emerging concepts and approaches for an apparent epidemic. J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2007; 120: 491–503

Background: There have been few studies conducted on the efficacy and safety of specific immunotherapy with allergen extracts of fungi compared with other allergen extracts, and there are no data on the major allergen Alt a 1 of the fungus Alternaria alternata.

437 patients aged 34.6±5.4 years, 56.1% males 43.9% females, were assessed over five months in 2018. The allergochip ALEX allowing major allergen component assessment was performed on patients sensitized to house dust mites, using Raptor Analysis MADx, (kUA/L).

The evolution of the IgE response to the numerous allergen molecules of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus is still unknown.
