Electrochemical and optical biosensing platforms for the immunorecognition of hazelnut Cor a 14 allergen
Two immunosensors were advanced to target hazelnut Cor a 14 based on electrochemical and optical transduction. Both approaches were developed with two types of custom-made antibodies, namely anti-Cor a 14 IgG (rabbit) and anti-Cor a 14 IgY (hen's egg) targeting the Cor a 14 allergen. Antibody immobilisation was performed via EDC/NHS onto disposable screen-printed electrodes. […]
Unusual and Unexpected Allergic Reactions Can Be Unraveled by Molecular Allergy Diagnostics
The fifth class of immunoglobulin, immunoglobulin E (IgE) was discovered in 1967 and has had immense importance for the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of allergic disease. More than 50 years have passed and efforts to characterize, standardize, and refine allergens with the aim to improve clinical diagnosis and allergen-specific immunotherapy are still ongoing. Another important […]
Peanut and hazelnut occurrence as allergens in foodstuffs with precautionary allergen labeling in Canada.
Precautionary allergen labeling (PAL) is widely used by food industries. Occurrence studies revealed that few analyzed products contained the allergen(s) present in the statement, but little is known in Canada. To improve manufacturing practices and better manage allergen cross-contamination, occurrence data is needed to determine the exposure of allergic individuals eating those products. Samples were […]
