IPSE/alpha-1: A major immunogenic component secreted from Schistosoma mansoni eggs (2006)
Journal Article
Schramm, G., Gronow, A., Knobloch, J., Wippersteg, V., Grevelding, C., Galle, J., Fuller, H., Stanley, R., Chiodini, P., Haas, H., & Doenhoff, M. (2006). IPSE/alpha-1: A major immunogenic component secreted from Schistosoma mansoni eggs. Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 147(1), 9-19. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molbiopara.2006.01.003

During infection with Schistosoma mansoni the egg stage of this parasite modulates the initial T helper (Th1) response into a Th2 response. This suggests that schistosome eggs contain factors responsible for that effect. We have recently described a...

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the major crustacean allergen, tropomyosin, in food (2006)
Journal Article
Fuller, H. R., Goodwin, P. R., & Morris, G. E. (2006). An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the major crustacean allergen, tropomyosin, in food. Food and Agricultural Immunology, 17(1), 43-52. https://doi.org/10.1080/09540100600572651

Shellfish are a common cause of food reactions in hypersensitive individuals and are among the eight foods that account for over 90% of food allergies. At present, the only way to prevent these serious consequences of food allergies is to avoid the f...
