Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of our study is the evaluation of the relation between the sensitisation to molecular components of moulds and yeast and the occurrence of food hypersensitivity reactions in atopic dermatitis patients. The food reactions were confirmed in an open exposure test (history); the sensitisation to allergen reagents (molecular components) of moulds and yeast was confirmed with ALEX2 Allergy Explorer Multiplex examination. The relation between the sensitisation to molecular components of fungi and the food hypersensitivity reactions was evaluated with the use of Fisher’s exact test. One hundred atopic dermatitis patients were included in the study (48 men and 52 women with an average age of 40.9 years). In patients with reaction to hazelnuts, walnuts, peanuts, fish and egg, the significantly higher level of specific IgE to Asp f 3, Cla h 8, Alt a 6, Alt a 1, Mala s 6 and Asp f 6 was confirmed.
期刊介绍:
Food and Agricultural Immunology is an international open access journal publishing original immunological research with applications in food, agricultural, environmental and veterinary science. Submissions describing the use of immunological techniques and methods are particularly welcomed.
The journal aims to expand our understanding of the interactions at the interface of food and immune systems including studies on:
-Development of diagnostic systems – all types of ligand-based assays, e.g. antibody, aptamer
-Application of ligand-based assays for the detection or identification of molecules of interest in food science, agricultural research, veterinary investigations and clinical systems relating to food allergy or sensitivity to agricultural chemicals
-Effects of food on the immune system
-Studies on allergy and allergic reactions
-Investigations into food allergies
-Development of allergen-free food systems
-Development of novel assay formats
-Applications of assay systems to the monitoring of food items in relation to safety and labelling
-Food quality issues, e.g. speciation, adulteration and contamination
-Comparisons between different analytical techniques
The journal publishes research and review articles and is essential reading for food scientists, immunologists and all those concerned with the interaction between food and immune systems.
