Background The expression of fungal allergens is increased by the germination of conidia. We assessed the state of germination of fungal
conidia recovered by nasal lavage after environmental exposure.
Methods Nasal lavage was performed on twenty adults at three stages: the start of the experiment, after 1 h indoors, and after 1 h
outdoors. One half of the lavage liquid was immediately treated to prevent in-vitro germination and stained with periodic
acid Schiff (PAS) to enable identification of germinated and ungerminated conidia. The untreated half of the lavage liquid
was cultured on nutrient agar plates to enumerate and identify viable fungi.
Results PAS staining showed that both ungerminated and germinated conidia, and hyphal fragments, were present in the nasal cavity.
The most prevalent fungi recovered were Aspergillus, Alternaria, Cladosporium, Epicoccum, Penicillium, and Yeast species. The number of viable fungi recovered after 1 h indoors was significantly less than after 1 h outdoors
(P < 0.01).
Conclusions Viable fungi and germinating conidia, in addition to ungerminated conidia and hyphal fragments, were present in the nasal
cavity after both indoor and outdoor exposure. This provides novel insight into the pathogenicity of exposure to fungal aeroallergens. 相似文献

The aim of the present study is to localise non‐specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs), obtained from Rosaceae (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) in pollen grains of taxonomically distant plants, such as Iridaceae (Aristea latifolia G.J. Lewis), Platanaceae (Platanus acerifolia (Aiton) Willd.) and Urticaceae (Parietaria judaica L.), in order to compare pollen and nsLTP diversity. A combination of transmission electron microscopy, immunocytochemical techniques, and rabbit specific antiserum against peach nsLTPs (Pru p 3) were used. Abundant labelling to Pru p 3‐like proteins was observed in the cytoplasm, walls and pollenkitt of A. latifolia pollen grains. The presence of nsLTPs associated with the pollenkitt proves that it takes part in the defence mechanism of pollen grains. The labelling was less intense in the cytoplasm and walls of P. acerifolia. Immuno‐stained gold particles were associated with the vacuoles, lipid inclusions, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex. No significant labelling was found in the P. judaica pollen grains incubated with anti‐Pru p 3 polyclonal antibodies. These results indicate important variations in the nsLTPs of different pollen species. Consequently, no taxonomic relationship between pollen grains and nsLTPs could be established. 相似文献

Stored product mites can often infest stored products, but currently there is little information regarding the efficacy of
pesticides that can be used for control. In this study we evaluated several common pesticides formulated from single active
ingredients (a.i.) or commercially available mixtures (chlorpyrifos, deltamethrin, beta-cyfluthrin, and a combination of deltamethrin
and S-bioallethrin), plus an acaricide composed of permethrin, pyriproxyfen and benzyl benzolate, for efficacy against Acarus siro, Tyrophagus putrescentiae, and Aleuroglyphus ovatus. The pesticides were incorporated into the mite diets in a dose range of 10–1000 μg a.i. g−1 diet. Concentrations for suppression of 50 and 90% population growth and eradication (rC0) of mites were fit to linear regression models. None of the tested pesticides gave complete eradication of A. siro, which was the most tolerant of the three mite species tested. The most effective pesticide Allergoff 175 CS was a combination
product (a nano-capsule suspension of permethrin, pyriproxyfen and benzyl benzolate) labeled for dust mites, with rC0 range of 463–2453 μg a.i. (permethrin) g−1 diet depending on the species. Least effective were chlorpyrifos and deltamethrin. 相似文献

Allergens are proteins or glycoproteins that are recognized by IgE produced by the immune system of allergic individuals. Until now around 1,500 allergenic structures have been identified and this number seems not have reached a plateau after 3-4 decades of research and the advent of molecular biology. Several allergen databases are available on Internet. Different aims and philosophies lead to different products. Here we report about main feature of web sites dedicated to allergens and we describe in more details our current work on the Allergome platform. The web server Allergome (www.allergome.org) represent a free independent open resource whose goal is to provide an exhaustive repository of data related to all the IgE-binding compounds. The main purpose of Allergome is to collect a list of allergenic sources and molecules by using the widest selection criteria and sources. A further development of the Allergome platform has been represented by the Real Time Monitoring of IgE sensitization module (ReTiME) that allows uploading of raw data from both in vivo and in vitro testing, thus representing the first attempt to have IT applied to allergy data mining. More recently, a new module (RefArray) representing a tool for literature mining has been released. 相似文献
