IgE-mediated hypersensitive reactions to ingestion of shellfish are among the most serious forms of food allergies.Cha f 1 is a 34-kd recombinant protein reactive to the IgE antibodies from patients with crab allergies.

Tri a 14.0101, a non-specific lipid transfer protein (nsLTP), is a major wheat (Triticum aestivum) allergen. Sensitization to this allergen is associated with baker’s asthma, a frequent occupational allergic disease caused mainly by inhalation of cereal flour, particularly wheat flour. The protein involves four helical fragments and irregular and stable C-terminal regions which are highly […]

Seed storage proteins have been identified as major allergens in several other tree nuts and peanut. 2S albumin Cor a 14.0101 is an abundant seed storage protein in hazelnut. Sensitization to Cor a 14.0101 has been shown to be a risk marker for severe allergic reactions, especially in children.

Sensitization to Cor a 9, an 11S legumin-like seed storage globulin and a major allergen from Corylus avellana, indicates primary hazelnut allergy. The protein has been reported to be associated with severe systemic reactions.

Vitamin B3 is a water-soluble vitamin whose derivatives such as NADH, NAD, NAD+, and NADP play essential roles in energy metabolism in the living cell and DNA repair. The designation Vitamin B3 also includes the amide form, nicotinamide or niacinamide. Severe lack of Vitamin B3 causes the deficiency disease pellagra, whereas a mild deficiency slows […]

Liothyronine is a thyroid hormone replacement therapy used to treat hypothyroidism, to suppress TSH, and to help in the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism. Liothyronine is a thyroidal hormone T3 which is normally produced by the thyroid gland in a ratio 4:1 when compared with T4: T3. Liothyronine is the active form of thyroxine which is composed […]

Methotrexate is in the class of medications called antimetabolites. The drug is used to treat severe psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and certain types of cancer. It works by slowing the proliferation of cells. Specifically, it inhibits the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase that is necessary for the synthesis of folic acid, which is required for the synthesis of […]
