Background Respiratory allergy triggered by pollen allergens is increasing at an alarming rate worldwide. Sunflower thought to be important source of inhalant allergens. Present study aims identify the prevalence sunflower pollinosis among Indian allergic population and characterizes using immuno-proteomic tools. Methodology Clinico-immunological tests were performed understand sensitivity towards atopic population. Sera from selected positive patients used as probe detect IgE-reactive...
Our objective was to conduct an aeromycological and health survey (2002-2007) in a suburban area near Kolkata, India, with the aim of achieving following goals: (i) prepare fungal spore calendar, (ii) determine influence different meteorological parameters, (iii) study respiratory status local population relation allergy. Airborne spores from more than 50 taxa were found, which at least 15 allergenic. The spore-concentration increased during early-winter rainy season, diminished late-winter...
A continuous two years (July, 1994 to June, 1996) survey of aeropalynoflora on an agricultural farm situated in the suburbs Calcutta was carried out using a Burkard volumetric spore trap. total 46 pollen types were identified. The dominant recorded originated from Poaceae, Trema orientalis Cyperaceae and Cocos nucifera. These subjected clinical investigation determine their degree allergenicity adult respiratory allergic patients by means skin prick tests. maximum allergenic response shown...
Background. The seasonal pattern of asthma-related hospitalization has often been correlated with ambient allergen/pollutant levels. Objective. To examine the relationship between hospital admissions (ARHA) and outdoor pollen, spore, pollutant levels for adult patients in a densely populated Indian megacity Kolkata. Methods. ARHA data were obtained from two major teaching hospitals city. Pollen spores causing allergic sensitization identified by skin prick tests (SPTs) among respiratory...
: Food allergy may be defined as an immunoglobulin E-mediated immune response to food proteins. Such studies have previously not been done in Calcutta, India. The present study was therefore undertaken record the sensitivity commonly consumed foods patients with allergic rhinitis and asthma.: A survey of 800 (410 males 390 females) reporting Allergy Unit Institute Child Health, were selected for conducted from May 2006 April 2007. Respiratory age group 5 60 years evaluated using a standard...
Background Mannose-binding Allium sativum leaf agglutinin (ASAL) is highly antinutritional and toxic to various phloem-feeding hemipteran insects. ASAL has been expressed in a number of agriculturally important crops develop resistance against those Awareness the safety aspect absolutely essential for developing transgenic plants. Methodology/Principal Findings Following guidelines framed by Food Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization, source gene, its sequence homology with...
Background: Carica papaya L. is a fruit yielding tree, wildly grown or cultivated in the tropics and subtropics. Its pollen grain has been reported to be airborne cause immunoglobulin E (IgE)‐mediated hypersensitivity. Objective: To conduct long‐term aerobiological study on pollen, along with aeroallergenic particles originating from it identify vis‐à‐vis characterize an important IgE‐reactive component present this pollen. Methods: The seasonal diurnal periodicities of C. were recorded...
<i>Background:</i> The pollen grain of the <i>Areca catechu</i> L. tree is airborne and allergenic. This study aimed to know role this as a source aeroallergen with effect on emergency asthma hospitalization, isolate its important allergic fraction check cross-reaction betel nut. <i>Methods:</i><i>Areca</i> was monitored Burkard sampler. Determination allergenic activities studied by in vivo vitro analyses. Asthma hospitalization data were...
