Matrix metalloproteinase-9: a novel biomarker for monitoring disease activity in patients with chronic urticaria patients?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Gliadins have been implicated in immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergy to ingested wheat and omega-5-gliadin is known to represent a major allergen in wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis. Less known is whether omega-5-gliadin is a clinically relevant allergen in children with immediate allergy to ...
