Anaphylaxis after ingestion of millet seeds

Abstract

We report the case of a patient with anaphylaxis after ingestion of millet seeds, a previously unreported allergen. Skin testing with freshly prepared millet seed extract produced positive intradermal responses at a concentration of 100 pg/ml. The reaction was mediated by IgE antibodies to millet, as demonstrated by elevated specific IgE antibody levels by radioallergosorbent test (RAST) and by significant in vitro histamine release from leukocytes incubated with millet seed extract.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.

Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death.
