vigna angularis/과민반응

The aim of the present study was to elucidate whether extracts of Vigna angularis (EVA) inhibit allergic inflammatory reactions and to elucidate the possible mechanisms of action. For the assessment of allergic inflammatory response, histamine release and the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines

Studies suggest the importance of serum total and specific IgE in clinical evaluation of allergic manifestations. Such studies are lacking in Indian subcontinent, though a large population suffer from bronchial asthma. Here relevance of serum total and specific IgE was investigated in asthmatics

The prevalence of black gram (Vigna mungo) induced allergic reactions are reported from several parts of the world including Asia and Australia. But, a thorough exploration of the allergic reactions induced by black gram proteins is still lacking. Therefore, efforts have been made to explore black

Food allergies are estimated about 1-2% in adults and 8% in children younger than 6 years. Allergic rhinitis is a common disease with a prevalence of 40% among different societies. Although, some foods play a role on exacerbation of allergic rhinitis symptoms, but still there are controversies about

Mung bean seed is a well-known plant protein consumed in Asian countries but the protein is usually retrieved as a waste product during starch production. This study investigated the anti-allergic property of mung bean protein hydrolysates (MBPH) produced by enzymatic hydrolysis using

The labeling of foods containing ingredients derived from soybean is recommended in Japan because of an increasing number of patients who are allergic to soybeans. To ensure proper labeling, a novel sandwich ELISA kit for the determination of soybean protein in processed foods (FASTKIT Ver. II,

IgE-mediated sensitization to wheat flour belongs to the most frequent causes of occupational asthma. A cDNA library from wheat seeds was constructed and screened with serum IgE from baker's asthma patients. One IgE-reactive phage clone contained a full-length cDNA coding for an allergen with a

The mite Blomia tropicalis has significant prevalence worldwide. Blo t 5 is a major B. tropicalis allergen that has been associated with sensitization and allergic symptoms in many asthmatic patients. Besides house dust, contaminated foodstuffs are an important source of exposure to B. tropicalis

Vigna mungo L. (Fabaceae) is a popular food legume used in the traditional Indian system of medicine for the treatment of a variety of disease conditions. The objective of the study was to evaluate any immunostimulatory activities of the extract of V. mungo seeds in an animal model. The induction of

BACKGROUND The prevalence of IgE mediated food allergies has increased over the last two decades. Food allergy has been reported to be fatal in highly sensitive individuals. Legumes are important food allergens but their prevalence may vary among different populations. The present study identifies

BACKGROUND Legumes are a rich source of proteins but are also potential elicitors of IgE-mediated food allergy. This study aimed to isolate and characterize a major allergen of Phaseolus vulgaris (kidney bean) and determine its allergenicity. METHODS Kidney bean allergen was purified using Q

The hot water extract of adzuki (HWEA), which is produced as a byproduct in the adzuki bean boiling process, has anti-tumor, antioxidative, and anti-diabetic activities. In this study, we fractionated HWEA to 4 fractions using stepwise gradient column chromatography with water and ethanol, and

BACKGROUND No systematic study on allergenicity of green gram seed proteins have been performed so far, although incidences of IgE-mediated reaction to green gram seedlings have been reported. OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate the allergenic potential of green gram, followed by identification and

In previous work, some lines from a collection of cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata, Walp.) were found to be immune to a cowpea mosaic virus strain (CPMV-SB) under specified conditions. At 24 hr after inoculation, protoplasts from a susceptible and most immune lines were sources of similar amounts of

Legumes are implicated in IgE mediated food allergy in different countries. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of different processing methods on allergenicity of legume proteins. The extracts were processed by boiling, γ-irradiation or by combination of both. The changes in soluble
