Preparation and Application of Monoclonal Antibodies for an Immune Complex Transfer Enzyme Immunoassay of an Egg White Allergen, Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D Synthase
In this study, we prepared four monoclonal antibodies against chicken L-PGDS and developed a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a highly sensitive immune complex transfer enzyme immunoassay (ICT-EIA) to quantify L-PGDS in hen egg whites. The detection sensitivity of ICT-EIA for L-PGDS (0.01 ng/mL) was 2,000-fold higher than that of ELISA, which could not be adapted to determine the amount of L-PGDS in egg white. Thus, ICT-EIA is a better method for quantification of trace allergens and expected to be applied to the quantification of other food allergens. Hen eggs (white-shelled eggs from Julia Lite hens...

Pollen food allergy syndrome caused by Japanese radish: A case report
Atsushi Uesugi, Fumihiko Tsushima, Youji Miyamoto, Hiroyuki HaradaIndian Journal of Dermatology 2023 68(1):123-123 Pollen food allergy syndrome (PFAS) is a food allergy that manifests as hypersensitivity symptoms of the oropharyngeal mucosa on ingesting specific foods, and findings resemble herpetic gingivostomatitis. Few reports of PFAS caused by consuming radishes are found in the literature. A 31-year-old man presented to our department with stomatitis and pharyngeal pain. He had no history of allergies. Herpetic gingivostomatitis was suspected. He was admitted to the emergency room a few days later complaining of oral...

Babies With Pets May Be Less Likely to Develop Food Allergies
About 8% of children in the U.S. have a food allergy, roughly double the percentage who did in 2007. It’s not entirely clear why more kids are being diagnosed with food allergies, both in the U.S. and across the world—but as these potentially life-threatening conditions grow more common, lots of researchers are studying how to treat or prevent them. A study published in PLOS ONE on Mar. 29 offers one potential strategy: get a pet. Among thousands of babies in Japan, exposure to cats or dogs during pregnancy or early infancy was associated with a lower risk of developing food allergies, the researchers found. [t...

Pollen Food Allergy Syndrome in Japanese Children and Adolescents: Risk Factors and Pollen Sensitisation
In conclusion, preschool children develop PFAS with alder sensitisation, and higher pollen-specific IgE levels and increased number of pollen sensitisations are risk factors for developing PFAS.PMID:36937005 | PMC:PMC10019972 | DOI:10.1155/2023/4075264

Modulation of immune function and changes in intestinal flora by Brassica rapa L. (Nozawana)
Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2023 Feb 16:zbad018. doi: 10.1093/bbb/zbad018. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDietary foods have functions that can prevent disease and improve immune function, e.g. increasing resistance to infection and preventing allergies. Brassica rapa L., known as Nozawana in Japan, is a cruciferous plant and a traditional vegetable of the Shinshu area. Nozawana leaves and stalks are processed mainly into pickled products called Nozawana-zuke. However, it is unclear whether Nozawana exerts beneficial effects on immune function. In this review, we discuss the evidences we have accumulated, those indicate Noza...
