Identification of profilin as a novel pollen allergen; IgE autoreactivity in sensitized individuals.
A complementary DNA encoding a pollen allergen from white birch (Betula verrucosa) that was isolated from a pollen complementary DNA library with serum immunoglobulin E from a birch pollen-allergic… Expand

Profilins constitute a novel family of functional plant pan-allergens
Type I allergy is a major health problem in industrialized countries where up to 15% of the population suffer from allergic symptoms (rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and asthma). Previously, we identified… Expand

Microarrayed allergen molecules: diagnostic gatekeepers for allergy treatment
Type I allergy is an immunoglobulin E (IgE)‐mediated hypersensitivity disease affecting more than 25% of the population. Currently, diagnosis of allergy is performed by provocation testing and IgE… Expand

Recombinant allergens for immunoblot diagnosis of tree-pollen allergy.
Diagnosis of type I allergy essentially depends on the availability of defined allergens, which can be provided by recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology. We have previously isolated the… Expand

Molecular and Immunological Characterization of Arginine Kinase from the Indianmeal Moth, Plodia interpunctella, a Novel Cross-Reactive Invertebrate Pan-Allergen1
IgE recognition of indoor allergens represents a major cause of allergic asthma in atopic individuals. We found that 52 of 102 patients suffering from allergic symptoms indoors contained IgE Abs… Expand

The basic isoform of profilin in pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica. cDNA cloning, heterologous expression, and actin-binding properties.
In the human parasite Entamoeba histolytica, components of the cytoskeleton are involved in the pathogenicity by their contribution to immune evasion by antibody capping and shedding. In this study,… Expand

Identification of profilin as an actin-binding protein in higher plants.
Profilin is a low molecular weight protein involved in the organization of the mammalian and protozoan cytoskeleton as well as in signal transduction. In this study, profilin is identified as an… Expand

Protection against Invasive Amebiasis by a Single Monoclonal Antibody Directed against a Lipophosphoglycan Antigen Localized on the Surface of Entamoeba histolytica
A panel of monoclonal antibodies was raised from mice immunized with a membrane preparation from Entamoeba histolytica, the pathogenic species causing invasive amebiasis in humans. Antibody EH5 gave… Expand

Molecular biology of the hexokinase isoenzyme pattern that distinguishes pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica from nonpathogenic Entamoeba dispar.
The electrophoretic patterns of hexokinase and phosphoglucomutase have been widely used to distinguish Entamoeba histolytica from Entamoeba dispar isolates. Although E. histolytica and E. dispar,… Expand

Pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica: cDNA cloning of a histone H3 with a divergent primary structure.
Entamoeba histolytica has an unusual nuclear structure characterized by a low degree of chromatin condensation and the absence of stainable metaphase chromosomes. Although nucleosome-like particles… Expand
