Abstract

Allergy to banana often occurs in patients sensitized to latex. The spectrum of IgE-mediated responses to latex allergens is more and more documented but banana allergens and epitopes shared by these two allergens have not yet been characterized, even though the existence of cross-reacting IgE antibodies has been demonstrated. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between banana hypersensitivity and latex allergy in a population of 19 latex-allergic patients and to identify allergenic components in banana and the common structures shared with latex. The in vivo study was conducted in our outpatient department in patients with well-documented latex allergy. Clinical histories were evaluated and skin prick tests were performed with banana and latex extracts. IgE responses from 19 patients were investigated by means of CAP RAST assay and SDS PAGE immunoblotting. Epitopes shared by banana and latex were investigated by means of immunoblotting experiments. Eight of 16 patients (50%) reported symptoms after eating bananas and banana skin prick tests were positive in 5 of 14 patients (36%). Banana RAST results were positive in 12 of the 19 patients (63%). In immunoblot experiments, 17 of the 19 patients (89%) exhibi...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
