Prevalence of IgE-binding to Art v 1, Art v 4 and Amb a 1 in mugwort-allergic patients.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) represents an important source of weed pollen allergens. The objectives of the present study were (i) to analyze the IgE binding profiles in a group of mugwort-allergic patients, (ii) to identify individual marker allergens crucial for the diagnosis of mugwort allergy and (iii) to identify potential crossreactive allergens present in ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) pollen extract. METHODS:Sera from 100 pediatric mugwort-allergic patients were analyzed for their IgE binding pattern to natural mugwort and ragweed pollen proteins, purified natural and recombinant Art v 1, recombinant Art v 4 and recombinant Amb a 1 using immunoblots and ELISA. RESULTS:91% of the patients' sera tested displayed IgE binding to one or more mugwort pollen allergens in ELISA and 88% were positive in immunoblot. Purified natural Art v 1 was recognized by 79%, the recombinant protein by 39% of the patients tested and purified recombinant Art v 4 by 34% of the patients' sera. 67% of the sera displayed crossreactive IgE to one or more ragweed pollen allergens. Recombinant Amb a 1 was noted in only 14% of the mugwort-allergic sera. CONCLUSIONS:Allergen-specific in vitro diagnosis was performed in 100 pediatric mugwort-allergic serum samples. Using two allergens (Art v 1 and Art v 4), 91% of the patients could be identified as mugwort pollen-sensitized patients by IgE in vitro tests. Crossreactivity to ragweed pollen allergens was demonstrated by in vitro experiments, suggesting a new important and potent allergen source expanding across Europe.
