Proteomic screening points to the potential importance of Ara h 3 basic subunit in allergenicity of peanut.

30 Aug 2008 Peanuts are complex storage proteins with high contents and have been identified as one of the most allergenic foods. In this review, we summarize some of the latest findings and the potential importance of the Ara h 3 basic subunit, which has been ... Read more...

Serum allergen specific immunoglobulin E levels in patients with allergic conjunctivitis.

30 Aug 2008 PURPOSE: To evaluate serum allergen specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in patients with various types of allergic conjunctivitis. METHODS: Twenty-five patients with seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC), 17 patients with perennial allergic ... Read more...

Characterization of expressed sequence tags from a full-length enriched cDNA library of Cryptomeria japonica male strobili.

9 Aug 2008 BACKGROUND: Cryptomeria japonica D. Don is one of the most commercially important conifers in Japan. However, the allergic disease caused by its pollen is a severe public health problem in Japan. Since large-scale analysis of expressed sequence ... Read more...
