Identification and expression of an allergen Asp f 13 from Aspergillus fumigatus and epitope mapping using human IgE antibodies and rabbit polyclonal antibodies.

Chow, L P, Liu, S L, Yu, C J, Liao, H K, Tsai, J J, Tang, T K

The Aspergillus genus of fungi is known to be one of the most prevalent aeroallergens. On two-dimensional immunoblotting using patients' sera containing IgE specific for Asp f 13, an allergen with a...

The identification and partial characterization of a human mononuclear cell-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor apparently distinct from IL-1, IL-2, GM-CSF, TNF and IFN-gamma.

Maestrelli, P, Tsai, J J, Cromwell, O, Kay, A B

We have identified a neutrophil chemotactic factor (NCF) in supernatants from human blood mononuclear cells (MNC) cultured in the presence of phytohaemagglutinin (PHA). Maximal activity was observed...

A T-lymphocyte-derived factor that enhances IgG-dependent release of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) from human neutrophils.

Tsai, J J, Maestrelli, P, Cromwell, O, Moqbel, R, Fitzharris, P, Kay, A B

We describe a human blood mononuclear cell (MNC)-derived leukotriene release enhancing factor (LREF) which significantly increased IgG-dependent leukotriene B4 (LTB4) generation by neutrophils. MNCs...

Antigen-induced neutrophil chemotactic factor from cloned human T lymphocytes.

Maestrelli, P, O'Hehir, R E, Lamb, J R, Tsai, J J, Cromwell, O, Kay, A B

Here we report the presence of a low molecular weight (10,000 neutrophil chemotactic factor (NCF) in the supernatants of activated human T lymphocytes. Appreciable amounts of the 10,000 MW NCF were...

Identification of immunoglobulin E (IgE)-binding epitopes and recombinant IgE reactivities of a latex cross-reacting Indian jujube Ziz m 1 allergen

Lee, M F, Tsai, J J, Hwang, G Y, Lin, S J, Chen, Y H

Ziz m 1 is a major Indian jujube (Zizyphus mauritiana) allergen involved in latex-fruit syndrome, and cDNA of the allergen has been cloned, sequenced and expressed in yeast by our laboratory...
