Hemodialysis is rarely terminated by events associated with anticoagulants. A 69-year-old woman on hemodialysis due to chronic renal failure (CRF) developed an anaphylactoid reaction with hypereosinophilia. On the basis of clinical and laboratory findings, we concluded that the causes of this anaphylactoid reaction were low-molecular-weight heparin and heparin. Our patient also showed high levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), which decreased after the cessation of hemo-dialysis. To date, there has been no report of high levels of cytokines induced by hemodialysis-associated anaphylactoid reaction. In this report, we discuss the mechanism underlying drug-induced anaphylactoid reaction, particularly that involving eosinophilia and cytokines.

This report describes the development of oesophagitis and oesophageal stricture in a dog secondary to anaphylaxis. A 9-month-old male entire Brussels Griffon presented in anaphylactic shock after exposure to Hymenoptera species (Sp). The dog had a history of an anaphylactic reaction after exposure to Hymenoptera, successfully managed with antihistamines and dexamethasone.

Background: Studies of human IgE and its targeted epitopes on allergens have been very limited. We have an established method to immortalize IgE encoding B cells from allergic individuals.
Objective: To develop an unbiased and comprehensive panel of peanut-specific human IgE mAbs to characterize key immunodominant antigenic regions and epitopes on peanut allergens to map the molecular interactions responsible for inducing anaphylaxis.

Background: Human monoclonal IgE antibodies recognizing peanut allergens have recently become available, but we lack a detailed understanding of how these IgEs target allergens.
Objective: To determine the molecular details of the antibody-allergen interaction for a panel of clinically important human IgE monoclonal antibodies and to develop strategies to disrupt disease causing antibody-allergen interactions.
Methods: We identified candidates from a panel of epitope binned human IgE monoclonals that recognize two important and homologous peanut allergens, Ara h 2 and Ara h 6.
