EAACI molecular allergology user's guide 2.0
Dramburg, Stephanie; Hilger, Christiane; Santos, Alexandra F.; de las Vecillas, Leticia; Aalberse, Rob C.; Acevedo, Nathalie; Aglas, LorenzSince the discovery of immunoglobulin E (IgE) as a mediator of allergic diseases in 1967, our knowledge about the immunological mechanisms of IgE-mediated allergies has remarkably increased. In addition to understanding the immune response and clinical symptoms, allergy diagnosis and management depend strongly on the precise identification of the elicitors of the IgE-mediated allergic reaction. In the past four...
Structure of beta-cinnamomin, a protein toxic to some plant species
Rodrigues, M.; Archer, Margarida; Martel, P.; Jacquet, Alain; Cravador, A.; Carrondo, Maria A.Phytophthora and Pythium species are among the most aggressive plant pathogens, as they invade many economically important crops and forest trees. They secrete large amounts of 10 kDa proteins called elicitins that can act as elicitors of plant defence mechanisms. These proteins may also induce a hypersensitive response (HR) including plant cell necrosis, with different levels of toxicity depending on their pI....
Identification of an elicitin gene cluster in Phytophthora cinnamomi and analys...
Duclos, J.; Aurélio, M.; Graca, J.; Coelho, A. C.; Fauconnier, A.; Jacquet, Alain; Bollen, A.; Cravador, A.; Biemans, R.; Godfroid, EdmondThe oomycetous fungus Phytophthora cinnamoni plays and important role in the necrotic activity observed on feeder root of cork oaks (Quercus suber L.) and eucalyptus (eucalyptus marginata Donn. Ex. Sm.)trees reducing the capacity of these hosts to absorb water and nutrients.
