| skin test reactivity of allergic subjects to basidiomycetes' crude extracts in a tropical environment. | fungal allergies can be detected by the skin prick test with extracts of the organisms, but not all fungi, including the basidiomycetes, are being examined. we determined the level of sensitization to basidiomycetes in allergic subjects and compared their reactivity to commercial extracts commonly used to detect allergies. crude spore extracts of the basidiomycetes ganoderma applanatum, chlorophyllum molybdites, and pleurotus ostreatus, which are known to release numerous spores, were examined a ... | 2011 | 21506892 |
| serological reactivity and identification of immunoglobulin e-binding polypeptides of ganoderma applanatum crude spore cytoplasmic extract in puerto rican subjects. | the allergenic potential of ganoderma applanatum basidiospores has been demonstrated previously in puerto rico. however, basidiomycete allergens are not available for inclusion in allergy diagnostic panels. therefore, we sought to confirm allergic sensitization to g. applanatum crude spore cytoplasmic extract through reactivity in serological assays and detection of immunoglobulin e (ige)-binding polypeptides. | 2017 | 28380479 |
