Background: Natural pigments are becoming more significant because of the rising cost of raw materials, pollution, and the complexity of synthetic pigments. Compared to synthetic pigments, natural pigments exhibit antimicrobial properties and is less allergic. Pigments from microbial sources could easily be obtained in an inexpensive culture media, produced in high yields, and microbes are capable of producing different colored pigments.

Introduction: While a specific number and type of antigens are recognized to detect perennial inhalant allergies, the optimal number and combination of allergens to reliably identify seasonal allergic sensitization is unclear due to limited national data. This study analyzed aeroallergen testing data from a large US clinical reference laboratory to provide guidance for optimizing seasonal allergen test selection.

Methods: The 2019 serum IgE tests for seasonal inhalant allergens were identified from the Quest Diagnostics database.

Article Synopsis
  • Fumonisins, produced by Fusarium fungi, are increasingly contaminating food in both developing and developed countries, prompting research on their link to allergic diseases.
  • In experiments with BALB/c mice, short-term exposure to fumonisin B2 (FB2) worsened allergic symptoms, such as skin thickness and inflammation, while fumonisin B1 (FB1) showed no significant effects.
  • The study suggests that FB2 may inhibit the production of IL-10 in regulatory T cells, leading to increased allergic responses, indicating a need to reassess the safety levels of fumonisins in food.
