In this study, the anti-allergy potency of thirteen tannins isolated from the galls on buds of Carpinus tschonoskii (including two tannin derivatives) was investigated. RBL-2H3 (rat basophilic leukemia) cells were incubated with these compounds, and the release of β-hexosaminidase and cytotoxicity
BACKGROUND
Fagales pollens are considered among the main agents responsible for allergic diseases in many countries of the northern hemisphere and single major allergens have been shown to be responsible for these responses.
OBJECTIVE
To develop a solid phase immunoassay for the quantification of
Cloning of the gene encoding the major allergen, Car b I, from Carpinus betulus (hornbeam) pollen was performed using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to specifically amplify the gene of interest using single stranded cDNA as template. Specific primers, deduced from the aminoterminal sequence of
Pollen of Betula pendula, Ostrya carpinifolia, and Carpinus betulus was exposed in vitro to relatively low levels of the air pollutants, namely carbon monoxide, ozone, and sulfur dioxide. The allergenicity of the exposed pollen was compared with that of non-exposed pollen samples to assess if air
