Molecular characterisation of major allergens from mite (Lep d 2) and cat (Fel d 1)
(2004-05-14)
The prevalence of allergic disease has increased significantly during the last decades and today more than 30% of the Swedish population is affected. By using recombinant allergens, diagnostics and treatment can be improved ...
Diagnosis of IgE-mediated allergy : new approaches using recombinant allergens
(2005-05-06)
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

Novel treatment strategies and regulation of IgE-mediated allergic disease
(2008-02-15)
Allergic symptoms such as rhinoconjunctivitis, asthma or gastrointestinal
symptoms, triggered by inhaled or ingested allergens cross-linking
allergen-specific IgE on mast cells or basophils, are defined as
IgE-mediated ...
Structural and functional studies of Malassezia sympodialis-derived allergens
(2008-03-21)
Atopic eczema (AE) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterised
by pruritic (itchy) skin lesions. The pathogenic mechanisms underlying AE
are still unclear, although several factors such as genetic
predisposition, ...
