Item Allergy to crayfish(J Investig Allergol Clin Immunol, 2011) Gonzalez de Olano, David; Pastor Vargas, Carlos; Gandolfo-Cano, Mar; González-Mancebo, Eloina; Meléndez-Baltanás, Amaya; Morales-Barrios, Pilar; Pérez-Gordo, Marina; Vivanco Martínez, Fernando; Bartolomé, BorjaItem IDENTIFICATION OF A NOVEL 17-kDa PROTEIN AS A FERRET ALLERGEN(ANNALS OF ALLERGY ASTHMA & IMMUNOLOGY, 2009) González de Olano, David; Pastor Vargas, Carlos; Cases Ortega, Bárbara; Perez-Gordo, Marina; Moral Darde, Verónica; Vivanco Martínez, Fernando; Bartolomé, BorjaDomestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo) is a mammal from the Mustelidae family. It is the third most common uncaged pet in North America after dogs and cats. In Europe, its popularity is progressively increasing, and it is also becoming a common pet. The role of cats and dogs as a cause of allergy is well known. However, ferrets are not so widely studied as a source of relevant allergens.Item Allergy to Prairie Dog Lipocalins(ANNALS OF ALLERGY ASTHMA & IMMUNOLOGY, 2010) González de Olano, David; Bartolomé, Borja; Cases Ortega, Bárbara; Pérez-Gordo, Marina; Vivanco Martínez, Fernando; Pastor Vargas, CarlosItem Allergy to human seminal fluid: Cross-reactivity with dog dander(The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2008) Basagaña, María; Bartolomé, Borja; Pastor Vargas, Carlos; Torres, Ferrán; Alonso, Rosario; Vivanco Martínez, Fernando; Cisteró-Bahíma, AnnaBackground: Human seminal plasma (HSP) allergy is uncommon, with symptoms ranging from vulvovaginal pruritus to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Although several seminal plasma allergens have been reported and their molecular masses have been estimated to range between 12 and 75 kd, the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has recently been identified as a causative allergen. Given that in a large number of cases symptoms appeared during or after the first intercourse, a cross-reactivity phenomenon might be implicated. Objective: We sought to assess the presence of IgE cross-reactivity among proteins from dog epithelium and HSP and to attempt to identify the allergens involved. Methods: Forty-one patients with dog epithelium allergy were selected. One of them experienced anaphylaxis in contact with her husband's seminal plasma. Skin prick tests, serum specific IgE measurements, SDS-PAGE immunoblotting, and inhibition tests were performed to study the pattern of IgE-binding proteins and the potential cross-reactivity between HSP and dog epithelium. Mass spectrometry was carried out to identify the protein involved in allergy reactions. Results: Twenty-four percent of the sera from patients with dog epithelium allergy recognized an IgE-binding band of 28 kd in HSP immunoblotting. Mass spectrometry identified this band as the PSA. SDS-PAGE immunoblotting-inhibition showed a complete IgE-binding inhibition when sera from these patients were preincubated with dog dander extract. Conclusions: IgE cross-reactivity among proteins from dog dander and human PSA is demonstrated.Item Asthma After Chicken Consumption due to Cross-reactivity Between Fish and Chicken Parvalbumin(J Investig Allergol Clin Immunol, 2012) González-de-Olano, David; Bartolomé, Borja; Sanz Maroto, Aroa; Vivanco Martínez, Fernando; Pastor Vargas, Carlos
