  2. 1. Asthma and IgE-reactivity in childhood : risk factors and consequences

    Author : Åsa Neuman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Many children have asthma-like wheezing symptoms during their first years of life, yet only a minority develop asthma. Attempts to identify wheezing children at increased risk of asthma have been conducted, but the value for the clinician has been limited. READ MORE

  4. 2. Novel Computational Analyses of Allergens for Improved Allergenicity Risk Assessment and Characterization of IgE Reactivity Relationships

    Author : Daniel Soeria-Atmadja; Ulf Hammerling; Mats Gustafsson; Rob Aalberse; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated allergy is a major and seemingly increasing health problem in the Western countries. The combined usage of databases of molecular and clinical information on allergens (allergenic proteins) as well as new experimental platforms capable of generating huge amounts of allergy-related data from a single blood test holds great potential to enhance our knowledge of this complex disease.

  5. 3. A study of allergens in the mite Lepidoglyphus destructor, using monoclonal antibodies and recombinant techniques

    Author : Susanna Olsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : allergen; characterization; dust mite; IgE-reactivity; monoclonal antibody; recombinant allergen; site-directed mutagenesis;

    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

  6. 4. It's peanuts

    Author : Anna Asarnoj; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Allergic diseases are common in the growing population and have been increasing worldwide. Allergic sensitization, i.e. presence of Immunoglobulin E in the blood, is important for development of allergic disease and sensitization to foods often precedes sensitization to inhalant allergens.

  7. 5. Cat allergy : diagnosis and characterization of important allergens

    Author : Justus Adédoyin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Allergy affects about 25% of the population. Allergic diseases are manifested in many ways, from mild rhinitis to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Globally, more than 15% of children and adults are allergic to pets. The focus of this thesis is important cat allergens. READ MORE
