Identification of alpha-amylase inhibitor as a major allergen of wheat flour.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Patients with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis are susceptible to both nasal and ocular symptoms. The conjunctival provocation test (CPT) is an established diagnostic procedure used in allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, particularly to document a patient's current reactivity to allergens. To date, there are no intern...

abstract：:Mercuric chloride (HgCl(2)) has been proposed to be a mitogen for human blood lymphocytes in vitro. In our previous study, we demonstrated that HgCl(2) preferentially stimulates the CD4+ T cell subset to blast transformation and DNA synthesis and that the reaction is dependent on CD14+ accessory cells. In order to cha...
