1. Use of Recombinant Allergens for Component-Resolved Diagnostics (CRD) in IgE-Mediated Allergy
Abstract : Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergy occurs when our immune system causes a reaction to otherwise harmless substances (allergens). Allergens are predominantly proteins present in biological materials such as pollens, mites, animal epithelia, moulds and foods. READ MORE

2. Novel allergen preparations for use in allergen-specific immunotherapy
Abstract : Allergy is a common disease in the industrialized countries, affecting approximately 25% of the population. Therefore, there is a need to find new treatment strategies to improve the quality of life for allergic individuals. Today the only treatment that gives long-lasting reduction of allergic symptoms is allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT). READ MORE

3. Diagnosis of IgE-mediated allergy : new approaches using recombinant allergens
Abstract : More than 10% of the population in industrialized countries suffer from lgE-mediated cat allergy. Allergens produced by recombinant techniques offer new possibilites to diagnose and treat allergic patients but will also help to uncover the mechanisms behind the sensitisation. READ MORE

4. A study of allergens in the mite Lepidoglyphus destructor, using monoclonal antibodies and recombinant techniques
Abstract : Mites are one of the most common causes of allergic reactions in many parts of the world. They can broadly be divided into two categories: house dust mites, primarily found in dwellings, and storage mites, primarily found in farming environments and grain storage facilities. Storage mites have now also been shown to exist in house dust. READ MORE

5. Identification and characterization of allergen components of the opportunistic yeast Malassezia furfur
Abstract : The yeast Malassezia furfur (Pityrosporum orbiculare) is a member of the human normal skin microflora. It has been suggested that this yeast plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD). In 40-65% of patients with AD anti-M. furfur activity has been shown with skin tests and/or specific IgE serology. READ MORE
