Allergens

11/01/2015 - "patients had over 4 times as many different allergens in their SCIT treatments as Canadian patients, with a mean of 18 versus 4.

11/01/1995 - "Patients with brittle asthma also exhibited a significantly greater degree of atopy when weal diameters to all 19 allergens were summated to produce an atopy score (brittle 44.35 vs non-brittle 23.72; P = 0.04). "

01/01/2013 - "However, there are now many meta-analyses, systematic reviews and high-quality clinical trials that find overwhelmingly in favor of the efficacy of allergen immunotherapy (including sublingual formulations) in allergic rhinitis induced by pollen and, increasingly, other allergens. "
09/01/2004 - "A skin prick test with relevant allergens was performed on those aged 6 to 15 years: 61.8% had positive results to one or more allergens, compared to 23.75% in a non-rhinitis control group. "
06/01/2015 - "To investigate the efficacy of a novel temperature and humidity machine to control the level of dust mite allergens and total nasal symptom score (TNSS) in dust mite sensitized allergic rhinitis children. "
12/22/2014 - "Twenty-one patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) were included on the basis of a positive history of AR symptoms and positive results of skin prick tests to grass pollen allergens. "
09/01/2013 - "Avoidance of relevant allergens may be helpful for allergic rhinitis (AR). "

09/01/2009 - "This review is dedicated to summarizing current knowledge about the most important food allergen protein families and to presenting data from the EuroPrevall allergen library, a proof-of-concept collection of highly purified, characterized and authenticated food allergens from animal and plant food sources to facilitate improved diagnosis of food allergies."
01/01/2013 - "This paper will discuss the use of animal models for the investigation of the major food allergens; cow's milk, hen's egg, and peanut/other tree nuts, highlight the distinguishing features of each of these models, and provide an overview of how the results from these trials have improved our understanding of these specific allergens and food allergy in general."
10/01/2015 - "FAHF-2 is a safe herbal medication for subjects with food allergy and shows favorable in vitro immunomodulatory effects; however, efficacy for improving tolerance to food allergens is not demonstrated at the dose and duration used."
02/01/2005 - "Results classified subjects into four groups according to the clinical history and prick-tests to common inhalants: group 1: subjects suspected of having a food allergy; group 2: subjects with ongoing atopic disease; group 3: subjects with an underlying predisposition to atopy, as showed by one or more positive results to prick-tests with airborne allergens; group 4: non atopic subjects. "
10/01/2009 - "However, with the improved understanding of tolerance and advances in characterization of food allergens, several therapeutic strategies have been developed and are currently being investigated as potential treatments and/or cures for food allergy."

03/01/2007 - "The patients receiving SLIT for grass and birch improved as well, and their improvement in clinical symptoms and inflammation was significantly greater than in patients treated with SLIT for the single allergens. "
12/01/2011 - "The efficacy of a sublingual vaccine based on a Dpte/Dfar allergen extract mix was demonstrated in a well standardized murine model of chronic allergic airway inflammation based on clinically relevant mite allergens. "
12/01/2008 - "Immune-mediated reactions to food allergens appear to drive the inflammation in a subset of patients, especially those with solitary EE, but dietary interventions remain difficult in EE and are less effective in EG. "
11/01/2008 - "Their relevance to allergic disease is also discussed: the potential recognition and uptake of allergens by some of these receptors, inhibited expression of other microbial sensors by allergic immune responses and inflammation, and their upregulation by microbial exposures in early life that may help to protect against the development of allergic immune responses and disease."
01/24/2013 - "Airway epithelial cells also undergo apoptosis after encountering environmental allergens; yet, relatively little is known about how these are cleared, and their effect on airway inflammation. "
