Cross-Reactivity and 1.4-A Crystal Structure of Malassezia sympodialis Thioredoxin (Mala s 13), a Member of a New Pan-Allergen Family
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
We have identified thioredoxins (Trx) of Malassezia sympodialis, a yeast involved in the pathogenesis of atopic eczema, and of Aspergillus fumigatus, a fungus involved in pulmonary complications, as novel IgE-binding proteins. We show that these Trx, including the human enzyme, represent cross-reactive structures recognized by serum IgE from individuals sensitized to M. sympodialis Trx. Moreover, all three...
