Journal ArticleDOI
Bet v 1, the major birch pollen allergen, and Mal d 1, the major apple allergen, cross-react at the level of allergen-specific T helper cells☆☆☆★★★
Ruth Fritsch,Barbara Bohle,Ute Vollmann,Ursula Wiedermann,Beatrice Jahn-Schmid,Monika Krebitz,Heimo Breiteneder,Dietrich Kraft,Christof Ebner +8 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that cross-reactivity between apple and birch pollen leading to the clinical oral allergy syndrome occurs not only at the serologic, but also at the cellular level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant-based heterologous expression of Mal d 2, a thaumatin-like protein and allergen of apple (Malus domestica), and its characterization as an antifungal protein.
Monika Krebitz,Birgit Wagner,Fatima Ferreira,Clemens K. Peterbauer,Nuria E. Campillo,Michael Witty,Daniel Kolarich,Herta Steinkellner,Otto Scheiner,Heimo Breiteneder +9 more
TL;DR: Purified recombinant Mal d 2 displayed the ability to bind IgE from apple-allergic individuals equivalent to natural Mal d 1 and exhibited antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum and Penicillium expansum, implying a function in plant defense against fungal pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hev b 9, an enolase and a new cross-reactive allergen from hevea latex and molds. Purification, characterization, cloning and expression
Stefan Wagner,Heimo Breiteneder,Birgit Simon-Nobbe,Markus Susani,Monika Krebitz,Bodo Niggemann,Randolf Brehler,Otto Scheiner,Karin Hoffmann-Sommergruber +8 more
TL;DR: Sequence comparisons revealed high similarities of the Hevea latex enolase to mold enolases that have been identified as important allergens, and enolased may represent another class of highly conserved enzymes with allergenic potentials.
Journal ArticleDOI
How Accurate and Safe Is the Diagnosis of Hazelnut Allergy by Means of Commercial Skin Prick Test Reagents
Jaap H. Akkerdaas,Marjolein Wensing,André C. Knulst,Monika Krebitz,Heimo Breiteneder,Sacco de Vries,André Penninks,Rob C. Aalberse,Susan L. Hefle,Ronald van Ree +9 more
TL;DR: Variability in the composition of products for the diagnosis of hazelnut allergy is extreme and shortcomings in standardisation and quality control can potentially cause a false-negative diagnosis in subjects at risk of severe reactions to hazelnuts.
Journal ArticleDOI
cDNA cloning of the 43-kDa latex allergen Hev b 7 with sequence similarity to patatins and its expression in the yeast Pichia pastoris
Slawomir Sowka,Stefan Wagner,Monika Krebitz,Siti Arija-Mad-Arif,Faridah Yusof,Tamar Kinaciyan,Randolf Brehler,Otto Scheiner,Heimo Breiteneder +8 more
TL;DR: The results establish the 43-kDa patatin-like protein as a latex allergen and raise the possibility of different cellular localization and function compared to S. tuberosum patatins.
