Abstract
Can f 5 allergy and possible cross-reactivity with human semen in which there are significant amounts of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) are particularly interesting aspects of allergy to dog. The objective of the study was to confirm cross-reactivity between human PSA and Can f 5 in a study of canine sensitised women. A total of 100 women (aged 18-73, 41 on average) with a positive history of animal fur allergy or positive skin prick tests to canine allergens were selected. Levels of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) specific to Can f 1, Can f 2, Can f 3, Can f 5 were determined. Patients with increased concentration of sIgE Can f 5 were selected for further inhibition testing using polystyrene microplate ELISA test coated with human PSA. In the studied population, allergy to Can f 5 dominated (52.3% of patients with increased concentration of canine-specific IgE were allergic to this allergenic component). In all analyzed cases, the concentration of IgE Can f 5 decreased after incubation on the ELISA plate coated with human PSA. The minimum decrease in concentration was 10.44%, the maximum was 37.73%, the average decrease was 21.6%. No statistically significant influence of the presence or absence of allergenic sIgE Can f 5 in blood ser...Continue Reading
