Disease relevance of Egg Hypersensitivity

• The addition of infantile eczema to egg allergy increased the PPV to 80% whereas the addition of family history of atopy had no effect [1].

High impact information on Egg Hypersensitivity

• IgE antibodies to repurified ovomucoid were significantly greater in patients with persistent egg hypersensitivity compared with patients in whom clinical tolerance developed at the time of both initial and follow-up food challenges [2].
• Pooled human sera from 18 patients with egg allergy were used to probe the membrane [3].
• Establishment and characterization of ovalbumin-specific T cell lines from patients with egg allergy [4].
• Allergenic epitopes of ovalbumin (OVA) in patients with hen's egg allergy: inhibition of basophil histamine release by haptenic ovalbumin peptide [5].
• Cetirizine: effective treatment for food (egg) allergy [6].

Chemical compound and disease context of Egg Hypersensitivity

• We conclude that sensitization to avian proteins could induce egg allergy and that livetin is an important allergen in this cross-reactivity [7].

Anatomical context of Egg Hypersensitivity

• Ovalbumin-specific induction of IL2 responsiveness in lymphocytes from patients with hen egg allergy and its regulation by the culture supernatant of normal lymphocytes [8].

Gene context of Egg Hypersensitivity

• The immunoreactivity of the domain preparations to human IgE antibody directed against ovomucoid was examined by using the sera from patients of egg allergy [9].
• The presence of egg allergy should therefore not be considered a contraindication to MMR immunization [10].
