- Sensitization to cat allergen and its association with respiratory allergies: cross-sectional study(2017) GALVAO, Clovis Eduardo Santos; GRAUDENZ, Gustavo Silveira; KALIL, Jorge; CASTRO, Fabio Fernandes MoratoCats are a significant source of allergens that contribute towards worsening of allergic diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between sensitization to cat allergens and allergic respiratory diseases. This was an observational retrospective study based on the skin prick tests results of patients at a tertiary-level hospital in Sao Paulo. A total of 1,985 test results were assessed. The prevalence of sensitization to cat allergen was 20% (399 patients). Our data indicated that in this population of atopic patients, a positive skin prick test result for cat allergen was not associated significantly with a diagnosis of respiratory allergy.
- IgE and IgG4 Epitopes of Dermatophagoides and Blomia Allergens before and after Sublingual Immunotherapy(2023) FIGO, Daniele Danella; MACEDO, Priscilla Rios Cordeiro; GADERMAIER, Gabriele; REMUZGO, Cesar; CASTRO, Fabio Fernandes Morato; KALIL, Jorge; GALVAO, Clovis Eduardo Santos; SANTOS, Keity SouzaSublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is used worldwide to treat house dust mites (HDM) allergy. Epitope specific immunotherapy with peptide vaccines is used far less, but it is of great interest in the treatment of allergic reactions, as it precludes the drawbacks of allergen extracts. The ideal peptide candidates would bind to IgG, blocking IgE-binding. To better elucidate IgE and IgG4 epitope profiles during SLIT, sequences of main allergens, Der p 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 23 and Blo t 5, 6, 12, 13, were included in a 15-mer peptide microarray and tested against pooled sera from 10 patients pre- and post-1-year SLIT. All allergens were recognized to some extent by at least one antibody isotype and peptide diversity was higher post-1-year SLIT for both antibodies. IgE recognition diversity varied among allergens and timepoints without a clear tendency. Der p 10, a minor allergen in temperate regions, was the molecule with more IgE-peptides and might be a major allergen in populations highly exposed to helminths and cockroaches, such as Brazil. SLIT-induced IgG4 epitopes were directed against several, but not all, IgE-binding regions. We selected a set of peptides that recognized only IgG4 or were able to induce increased ratios of IgG4:IgE after one year of treatment and might be potential targets for vaccines.
- Novel allergens from ancient foods: Man e 5 from manioc (Manihot esculenta Crantz) cross reacts with Hev b 5 from latex(2013) SANTOS, Keity Souza; GADERMAIER, Gabriele; VEJVAR, Eva; ARCURI, Helen Andrade; GALVAO, Clovis Eduardo; YANG, Ariana Campos; RESENDE, Virginia Maria Ferreira; MARTINS, Carlo de Oliveira; HIMLY, Martin; MARI, Adriano; LISO, Marina; POMPONI, Debora; BREITENEDER, Heimo; WAGNER, Stefan; KALIL, Jorge; FERREIRA, Fatima; CASTRO, Fabio Fernandes MoratoScope Manioc (Manihot esculenta) is a tuber mainly consumed in the Southern Hemisphere and used worldwide by food and chemistry industry. We aimed to recombinantly produce and characterize the first manioc allergen and evaluate its IgE reactivity in sera of Brazilian and Italian patients. Methods and results The molecule, termed Man e5, was expressed in E. coli, characterized by amino acid analysis, mass spectrometry, circular dichroism, HPLC, and dynamic light scattering. A tertiary structural model of the protein was produced using bioinformatics and susceptibility to pepsin digestion was analyzed in vitro. Based on its high content of charged residues, heat stability, flexibility and lack of secondary structure elements, the allergen was determined a member of the intrinsically disordered protein family. Brazilian patients were selected based on manioc allergy and Italians based on latex allergy and sensitization to Hev b 5.71% of Brazilians and 40% of Italians were in vitro IgE positive to Man e5. Cross-inhibition assays suggest a possible involvement of this allergen in the latex-fruit syndrome. Conclusion Man e5, the first purified allergen from manioc demonstrates IgE cross-reactivity with Hev b 5. Data suggest Hev b 5 might act as primary sensitizer and could therefore lead to allergic manifestations upon manioc consumption without prior exposition.
conferenceObject Inflammatory cell response, functional and biochemical features of the airways of professional cleaning workers upon exposure in the workplace(2017) LIMA, Cynthia F. Mafra; SARAIVA, Beatriz M.; KALIL, Jorge; CASTRO, Fabio M.; GALVAO, Clovis Eduardo S.- Anaphylaxis triggered by prick test with latex extract: a case report(2019) MENDONCA, Leonardo Oliveira; LIMA, Cynthia Mafra Fonseca de; MACEDO, Priscilla Rios Cordeiro; CUNHA, Victor do Espirito Santo; HAHNSTADT, Ruppert Ludwig; KALIL, Jorge; GALVAO, Clovis Eduardo SantosCONTEXT: Adverse reactions associated with prick tests are rare but may be present as serious systemic reactions. CASE REPORT: A 38-year-old female nursing technician complained of three episodes of anaphylaxis in one year, all in the workplace. To investigate latex allergy, the patient underwent the prick test with latex, and immediately developed a rash, itchy skin, hoarseness, dyspnea and dry cough. Her condition improved promptly after appropriate measures were established for controlling her anaphylaxis. CONCLUSION:The skin test must be performed under medical supervision, since complications that can lead to life-threatening reactions, if support measures are not readily implemented, have been attributed to this test.
- Cashew Tree Pollen: An Unknown Source of IgE-Reactive Molecules(2019) FIGO, Daniele Danella; AMICIS, Karine De; AQUINO, Denise Neiva Santos de; POMIECINSKI, Fabiane; GADERMAIER, Gabriele; BRIZA, Peter; GALVAO, Clovis Eduardo Santos; AMARAL, Jonatas Bussador do; MARTINS, Carlo de Oliveira; CASTRO, Fabio Fernandes Morato; KALIL, Jorge; SANTOS, Keity SouzaPollinosis is sub-diagnosed and rarely studied in tropical countries. Cashew tree pollen has been reported as an allergen source although the knowledge of its immunoglobulin E (IgE)-reactive molecules is lacking. Therefore, this work aimed to identify IgE-reactive molecules and provide a proteomic profile of this pollen. From the 830 proteins identified by shotgun analysis, 163 were annotated to gene ontology, and a list of 39 proteins filtered for high confidence was submitted to the Allfam database where nine were assigned to allergenic families. Thus, 12 patients from the northeast of Brazil with persistent allergic rhinitis and aggravation of symptoms during cashew flowering season were selected. Using a 2D-based approach, we identified 20 IgE-reactive proteins, four already recognized as allergens, including a homolog of the birch isoflavone-reductase (Bet v 6). IgE-reactivity against the extract in native form was confirmed for five patients in ELISA, with three being positive for Bet v 6. Herein, we present a group of patients with rhinitis exposed to cashew tree pollen with the first description of IgE-binding proteins and a proteomic profile of the whole pollen. Cashew tree pollen is considered an important trigger of rhinitis symptoms in clinical practice in the northeast of Brazil, and the elucidation of its allergenic molecules can improve the diagnostics and treatment for allergic patients.

conferenceObject Local production of IgE and other immune mediators in the nasal lavage fluid of allergic rhinitis patients before and after specific immunotherapy with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus(2017) TEIXEIRA, Adriana Rodrigues; SARAIVA, Beatriz M.; KALIL, Jorge; CASTRO, Fabio M.; GALVAO, Clovis Eduardo S.- Immunophenotypical Characterization of a Brazilian POIS (Post-Orgasmic Illness Syndrome) Patient: Adding More Pieces to Puzzle(2020) AMICIS, Karine De; COSTA, Priscilla Ramos; FIGO, Daniele Danella; LIMA, Cynthia Mafra Fonsecade De; CASTRO, Fabio Fernandes Morato; KALIL, Jorge; SANTOS, Keity Souza; GALVAO, Clovis Eduardo SantosPost-orgasmic illness syndrome (POIS) is a rare condition characterized by post-ejaculatory symptoms. Here is reported the first Brazilian POIS patient. Immunological investigation did not confirm the previous hypothesis of a hypersensitivity reaction. Cell immunophenotyping comparing healthy individuals produced evidence of abnormalities not associated to clinical manifestations. The patient was submitted to specific immunotherapy with transient clinical response and was referred to a psychologist but did not demonstrate clinical improvement of symptoms. Therefore, etiology of POIS remains unclear.
