Milk Allergen Detection: Sensitive Label-Free Voltammetric Immunosensor Based on Electropolymerization

Sandro Carrara, Tugba Kilic, Paul Jean Philipp

We present in this work, first time in literature, a voltammetric label-free biosensor for detection of alpha lactalbumin (alpha-LB) in meal samples. Food allergy concern necessitates strict regulations in food labelling and innovative monitoring strategie ...

Novel Analytical Methods for Allergy-Related Studies

Mikaël Frossard

Managing and treating diseases require a deep understanding of the pathologies coupled with accurate diagnostic procedures. The constant development and improvement of bioanalytical methods reflect the need of diagnosis ameliorations with respect to accura ...

Signalling strength determines proapoptotic functions of STING

Freddy Radtke, Andrea Ablasser, Ute Koch, Muhammet Fatih Gülen

Mammalian cells use cytosolic nucleic acid receptors to detect pathogens and other stress signals. In innate immune cells the presence of cytosolic DNA is sensed by the cGAS-STING signalling pathway, which initiates a gene expression programme linked to ce ...

Modes of antigen presentation by lymph node stromal cells and their immunological implications

Sachiko Hirosue

Antigen presentation is no longer the exclusive domain of cells of hematopoietic origin. Recent works have demonstrated that lymph node stromal cell (LNSC) populations, such as fibroblastic reticular cells, lymphatic and blood endothelial cells, not only p ...

Component-resolved diagnostic of cow’s milk allergy by immunoaffinity capillary electrophoresis – matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry

Hubert Girault, Natalia Gasilova

Component-resolved diagnostic (CRD) of cow’s milk allergy has been performed using immunoaffinity capillary electrophoresis (IACE) coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS). First, total IgE quantification in the ...

Human exposure to allergenic pollens: A comparison between urban and rural areas

François Gillet

Background: Pollinosis is found more frequently in urban areas than in rural environments. This could be partly related to the different types of pollen exposure in these dissimilar areas. The objective of this study was to compare the distribution of poll ...

Lack of IL-2 in PPAR-alpha deficient mice triggers allergic contact dermatitis by affecting regulatory T cells

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

The aim of the present work was to decipher the cellular basis of the immuno-regulatory role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-alpha in cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions. After challenge with a contact allergen, we observed augmented ...

POLLEN CLUMPING AND WIND DISPERSAL IN AN INVASIVE ANGIOSPERM

Marc Parlange, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau, Michael David Martin

Pollen dispersal is a fundamental aspect of plant reproductive biology that maintains connectivity between spatially separated populations. Pollen clumping, a characteristic feature of insect-pollinated plants, is generally assumed to be a detriment to win ...

The influence of local meteorological conditions on the circadian rhythm of corn (Zea mays L.) pollen emission

Marc Parlange

Field experiments were performed to study the diurnal cycle of corn pollen emission and its relation to local meteorological conditions, including temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, mean wind speed, and turbulence quantities. Pollen concentra ...

Selective degradation of wood lignin over noble-metal catalysts in a two-step process

Paul Joseph Dyson, Chenxu Zhao, Ning Yan, Cheng Wang

Direct conversion of lignin into alkanes and methanol was carried out in a two-step process (hydrogenolysis and hydrogenation) involving initial treatment of white birch wood sawdust with H2 in dioxane/water/phosphoric acid using carbon supported Ru, Pd, R ...
