Designing a multimer allergen for diagnosis and immunotherapy of dog allergic patients.
<h4>Background</h4>Dog dander extract used for diagnosis and allergen-specific immunotherapy is often of variable and of poor quality.<h4>Objective</h4>To assemble four well-established dog allergen components into one recombinant folded protein for improved diagnosis and vac...

The tetrameric protein was structurally characterized by small angle X-ray scattering, and compared with each single recombinant lipocalin allergen or an equimolar mix of the four allergens by analytical size exclusion chromatography, circular dichroism, allergen-specific IgE in serum by ELISA and allergen-dependent capacity to activate basophils. The immunogenicity of the fusion protein was evaluated in immunized mice by assessing splenocyte proliferation and antibody production.<h4>Results</h4>The linked tetrameric construct was produced as a soluble fusion protein, with the specific folds of the four individual allergens conserved.

Immunization of mice with the linked construct induced comparable allergen-specific IgG responses with blocking capacity towards all included allergens and generated comparably low T-cell responses.<h4>Conclusion</h4>We provide the first evidence for a linked recombinant molecule covering the major dog allergens for potential use in diagnostics and allergy vaccination of dog allergic patients.Ola B NilssonTheresa Neimert-AnderssonMattias BrongeJeanette GrundströmRanjana SarmaHannes UchtenhagenAlexey KikhneyTatyana SandalovaErik HolmgrenDmitri SvergunAdnane AchourMarianne van HageHans GrönlundPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 9, Iss 10, p e111041 (2014) |
