Stinging Insect Allergens.

Stinging Insect Allergens. Curr Protein Pept Sci. 2019 Nov 20;: Authors: Le C, Ying-Yang X, Xiu-Jie W, Kai G Abstract Hymenoptera venom allergy is one of the common causes of anaphylaxis. However, when physicians make the diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom allergy, the histories of being stung are not always consistent with the results of venom specific IgE. With the development of component-resolved diagnosis, it is possible to accurately localize an allergic reaction to certain sensitized proteins. This paper reviewed the studies that have addressed the identified allergenicity and cross-reactivity of Hymenoptera venom allergens accepted by the WHO/IUIS Nomenclature Sub-committee, the component-resolved diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom allergy and its predictive values for the efficacy and safety of venom immunotherapy. Also, we paid special attention to the progress of Hymenoptera venom allergy in Asian countries. PMID: 31752653 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
