    Notizen: Fish and fish products represent one of the most important causes of IgE-mediated food hypersensitivity. In sensitized individuals contact with and consumption of fish can lead to severe health problems, ranging from urticaria and dermatitis to angiedema, diarrhoea, asthma and, at worst, systemic anaphylactic reactions and death. Parvalbumin, a small calcium-binding protein present in the muscles of vertebrates, was identified as the major fish allergen. We describe the isolation and characterization of cDNA clones coding for carp parvalbumin by IgE immunoscreening of a carp muscle expression library. These clones will be the basis for the production of recombinant carp parvalbumin, a useful tool for in vitro and in vivo diagnosis of fish allergy.

    Notizen: A great variety of recombinant plant, mite, mold, mammal, and insect allergens have been expressed in heterologous hosts (e.g., Escherichia coli), their cDNA being used as a template. The number of biologically active recombinant allergens available for experimental, diagnostic, and therapeutic purposes is increasing tremendously. Recombinant allergens have proven to be valuable tools to investigate T-cell and B-cell recognition of allergens as well as to study mechanisms of specific IgE regulation. The immunologic equivalence of many relevant recombinant allergens with their natural counterparts has been demonstrated, and the three-dimensional structures of several recombinant allergens have been described recently. As a result of extensive cross-reactivities among the relevant allergens, it appears that the number of epitopes needed for diagnosis and specific immunotherapy is less diverse than originally anticipated and might be soon covered by recombinant molecules. Recombinant allergens have been used for successful in vitro, as well as in vivo, allergy diagnosis, and work is in progress to produce recombinant allergen derivatives with reduced anaphylactic potential to improve current forms of immunotherapy.

    Notizen: Background: Interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 have been shown to be potent switch factors for IgE synthesis in human B cells.Objective: In this study we investigated the effects of recombinant human IL-4 and IL-13 on total and allergen specific IgE synthesis by peripheral blood inononuclear colls (PBMC) from pollen allergic patients and healthy control individuals.Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from allergic patients were investigated for their capacity to produce allergen specific IgE in vitro. Total protein extracts from birch pollen and timothy grass pollen as well as purified recombinant birch pollen allergens, Bet v I, birch profiling (Bet v II) and recombinant timothy grass pollen allergens. Phi p I, Phi p II, and Phi p V were used to measure specific IgE-antibody synthesis in cell culture supernatants by IgE-immunoblot and ELISA. Reults PBMC obtained from allergic patients spontaneously secreted allergen specific IgE in the culture supernatants. Addition of Interleukin 4, Interleukin 13 and anti-CD40 antibody to the cultures alone or in combinations significantly induced total IgE production whereas allergen specific IgE production was not affected.Conclusion: Our results indicate that the peripheral blood of allergic individuals contains long lived allergen specific B cells which have already switched to IgE production and which are not sensitive to IL-4 and IL-13 treatment. These results may have implications on attempts to use cytokines or cytokine antagonists in therapy of Type I allergy.

    Thema: Medizin
    Notizen: Type I allergy to pollen of the European chestnut (Castanea sativa) represents a major cause of pollinosis in (sub) Mediterranean areas. Using sera from 14 patients with established allergy to pollen of the European chestnut, 13/14 sera (92%) showed IgE-binding to a 22 kD protein, 2/14(14%) displayed additional binding to a 14 kD protein and 1/14 (7%) bound only to the 14 kD protein of European chestnut pollen extract. Two monoclonal mouse antibodies, BIP 1 and BIP 4, directed against different epitopes of Bet v I (the major birch pollen allergen), and a rabbit antibody to recombinant birch profilin (rBet v II) were used to characterize the proteins of the European chestnut pollen. The recombinant birch pollen allergens, r Bet v I and r Bet v II (profilin) were employed to show common allergenic structures on proteins from both birch and European chestnut pollen by IgE-inhibition experiments. Despite the fact that the 22 kD protein displayed a higher molecular weight in comparison to the 17 kD major birch pollen allergen, Bet v I, we could demonstrate reactivity of both monoclonal antibodies, BIP 1 and BIP 4, with this protein. A complete inhibiton of IgE-binding to this 22 kD protein was shown by pre-incubating sera with purified recombinant Set r I. In addition, the 14kD protein could be identified by IgE-inhibition studies with recombinant Bet v II and by using a rabbit anti-profilin antibody as the profilin from pollen of the European chestnut.

    Notizen: Background We have recently engineered recombinant derivatives of the major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 (rBet v 1 fragments and trimer) with strongly reduced allergenic activity.Objective The aim of this study was the in vivo characterization of potential allergy vaccines based on Al(OH)3-adsorbed genetically modified rBet v 1 derivatives in mice.Methods BALB/c mice were immunized either with courses of nine injections of increasing doses of Al(OH)3-adsorbed rBet v 1 wild-type, rBet v 1 fragments, rBet v 1 trimer or Al(OH)3 alone in weekly intervals or with three high-dose injections applied in intervals of 3 weeks. Humoral immune responses to rBet v 1 wild-type and homologous plant allergens were measured by ELISA and Western blotting, and the ability of mouse antibodies to inhibit the binding of allergic patients IgE to Bet v 1 was studied by ELISA competition experiments.Results In both schemes, hypoallergenic rBet v 1 derivatives induced low IgE but high IgG1 responses against rBet v 1 wild-type. The IgG1 antibodies induced by genetically modified rBet v 1 derivatives cross-reacted with natural Bet v 1 and its homologues from alder (Aln g 1) as well as hazel (Cor a 1) and strongly inhibited the binding of birch pollen allergic patients' IgE to Bet v 1 wild-type.Conclusion Genetically modified hypoallergenic rBet v 1 derivatives induce blocking antibodies in vivo. Their safety and efficacy for the treatment of birch pollen and associated plant allergies can now be evaluated in clinical immunotherapy studies.

    Notizen: Background  Indoor allergens derived from animals and mites often contribute to exacerbation of skin manifestations in atopic dermatitis (AD) patients.Objective  To produce and characterize recombinant cat albumin, a cross-reactive animal allergen.Methods  A complete cDNA coding for cat albumin was obtained by RT-PCR amplification from cat liver RNA. Recombinant cat albumin was expressed in Escherichia coli as hexahistidine-tagged protein, purified by nickel affinity chromatography and studied for IgE reactivity with sera from cat-allergic patients by ELISA and immunoblotting. Furthermore, CD203c expression of basophils from cat-allergic patients upon exposure to recombinant cat albumin was analysed.Results  Recombinant cat albumin, a cross-reactive animal allergen sharing most IgE epitopes with its natural counterpart, was produced in E. coli. It was recognized preferentially by IgE from AD patients and elicited IgE-dependent basophil activation in sensitized patients.Conclusions  Recombinant cat albumin may be used as a paradigmatic tool to analyse mechanisms of allergen-triggered exacerbation of AD, for diagnostic and, perhaps for therapeutic purposes.

    Notizen: Background Allergy to grass pollen is typically associated with serum IgE antibodies to group 1 and/or group 5 allergens, and additionally often to one or several less prominent allergens. Most of the grass pollen allergens identified to date have been characterized in detail by molecular, biochemical and immunological methods, timothy grass being one of the most thoroughly studied species. However, a 20-kDa allergen frequently recognized by IgE antibodies from grass pollen allergics has so far escaped cloning and molecular characterization.Objective To clone and characterize the 20 kDa timothy grass pollen allergen Phl p 11.Methods Phl p 11 cDNA was cloned by PCR techniques, utilizing N-terminal amino acid sequence obtained from the natural allergen. Phl p 11 was expressed as a soluble fusion protein in Escherichia coli, purified to homogeneity and used for serological analysis and to study Phl p 11 specific induction of histamine release from basophils and skin reactivity in sensitized and control subjects.Results Phl p 11 cDNA defined an acidic polypeptide of 15.8 kDa with homology to pollen proteins from a variety of plant species and to soybean trypsin inhibitor. The sequence contained one potential site for N-linked glycosylation. Serological analysis revealed that recombinant Phl p 11 shared epitopes for human IgE antibodies with the natural protein and bound serum IgE from 32% of grass pollen-sensitized subjects (n = 184). Purified recombinant Phl p 11 elicited skin reactions and dose-dependent histamine release from basophils of sensitized subjects, but not in non-allergic controls.Conclusion As the first representative of group 11 grass pollen allergens, Phl p 11 has been cloned and produced as a recombinant protein showing allergenic activity. One-third of grass pollen-sensitized subjects showed specific IgE reactivity to recombinant Phl p 11, corresponding in magnitude to a significant proportion of specific IgE to grass pollen extract.

    Notizen: Background Almost no information is available regarding the prevalence of IgE-mediated allergies and the disease-eliciting allergens in tropical Africa.Objective To study IgE-mediated allergies and the allergen profile in allergic patients from Zimbabwe.Methods The frequency of sensitization to common environmental allergen sources was determined by skin prick testing in 650 allergic patients from Zimbabwe. Fifty representative sera were analysed for IgE reactivity to 20 respiratory and 20 food allergen extracts by multiallergen extract testing. The IgE reactivity profiles to recombinant pollen and mite allergens were compared between grass pollen- and mite-sensitized patients from Zimbabwe and central Europe. Sera from grass pollen-allergic patients were also analysed for IgE reactivity to nitrocellulose-blotted natural timothy grass and Bermuda grass pollen allergens.Results IgE-mediated allergies were found to be common in Zimbabwe. Similar to the situation in central Europe, mites and grass pollens represented the most prevalent allergen sources. However, the IgE reactivity profiles determined with single recombinant pollen and mite allergens revealed interesting differences between the European and African patients, which most likely reflect the local allergen exposure.Conclusions The striking differences regarding sensitization to grass pollen and mite allergens between African and European patients revealed by recombinant allergen-based testing emphasize the need for component-resolved allergy testing to optimize allergy prevention and therapy in different populations.
