Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates respiratory allergies to American cockroaches in subtropical and tropical regions, compounded by other indoor allergies that complicate diagnosis.
  • Researchers created and analyzed a panel of nine purified recombinant allergens from cockroaches to improve component-resolved diagnostics (CRD).
  • They found that IgE sensitization patterns varied across patients from four different countries, identifying specific major and minor allergens, and highlighting that the cockroach extract was more sensitive for diagnosis than individual allergens.

Background: Members of the Pleosporaceae family are known as important sources of airborne allergens which are responsible for asthma and allergic diseases.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the gene profiling and expression pattern of Alt a 1 in Alternaria alternata and other members of the Pleosporaceae family including Stemphylium botryosum, Ulocladium chartarum, Curvularia lunata, Cladosporium cladosporioides, and Epicoccum nigrum.

Methods: Alternaria alternata and related genera were cultured on Czapek-Dox broth medium at 25°C for 21 days.

The ubiquitously present spores of Alternaria alternata can spoil a wide variety of foodstuffs, including a variety of fruits belonging to the Citrus genus. The major allergenic protein of A. alternata, Alt a 1, is a species-specific molecular marker that has been strongly associated with allergenicity and phytopathogenicity of this fungal species.
