“…Here, allergic tolerance was correlated to both IgG 4 and IgG 1−3 . While the latter was not found to be statistically significant, it is consistent with other studies in which the protective effect of immunotherapy treatments is mediated by a plurality of IgG isoforms suggesting both the classic Th1 and modified Th2 response can contribute to tolerance ( 55 – 58 ). Despite its protective effects, the modified Th2/IgG 4 response is dependent on initial B-cell activation by IL-4.…”

There have been many attempts to identify common biophysical properties which differentiate allergens from their non-immunogenic counterparts. This review will focus on recent studies which examine two such factors: abundance and stability. Anecdotal accounts have speculated that the elevated abundance of potential allergens would increase the likelihood of human exposure and thus the probability of sensitization. Similarly, the stability of potential allergens dictates its ability to remain a viable immunogen during the transfer from the source to humans. This stability could also increase the resilience of potential allergens to both gastric and endosomal degradation, further skewing the immune system toward allergy. Statistical analyses confirm both abundance and stability as common properties of allergens, while epidemiological surveys show a correlation between exposure levels (abundance) and allergic disease. Additional studies show that changes in protein stability can predictably alter gastric/endosomal processing and immunogenicity, providing a mechanistic link between stability and allergenicity. However, notable exceptions exist to both hypotheses which highlight the multifaceted nature of immunological sensitization, and further inform our understanding of some of these other factors and their contribution to allergic disease.

“…Although immunological methods have long been considered the gold standard for allergen identification, MS offers considerable benefits by allowing allergen identification based on MS/MS data from the allergen of interest [ 192 ]. For example, we have previously identified novel allergens from Ligustrum lucidum including enolase, pollen-specific polygalacturonases, Fra e 9.01 (β-1,3-glucanase), profilin, alanine aminotransferase, and ATP synthase beta subunit [ 175 ]. Using a similar approach, allergens from both red oak and pecan [ 189 , 191 ] have been recognized.…”

Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is the sole disease-modifying treatment for allergic rhinitis; it prevents rhinitis from progressing to asthma and lowers medication use. AIT against mites, insect venom, and certain kinds of pollen is effective. The mechanism of action of AIT is based on inducing immunological tolerance characterized by increased IL-10, TGF-β, and IgG4 levels and Treg cell counts. However, AIT requires prolonged schemes of administration and is sometimes associated with adverse reactions. Over the last decade, novel forms of AIT have been developed, focused on better allergen identification, structural modifications to preserve epitopes for B or T cells, post-traductional alteration through chemical processes, and the addition of adjuvants. These modified allergens induce clinical-immunological effects similar to those mentioned above, increasing the tolerance to other related allergens but with fewer side effects. Clinical studies have shown that molecular AIT is efficient in treating grass and birch allergies. This article reviews the possibility of a new AIT to improve the treatment of allergic illness.

“…Recent data showed that ligand-binding played an important role in sensitization and manifestation of allergenic properties of Bet v 1 homologs and LTPs ( Fujimoto et al, 1998 ; Chruszcz et al, 2021 ). IgE antibodies to Bet v 1 cross-react with homologues allergens from pollen of such trees as alder (Aln g 1), hazel (Cor a 1), beech (Fag s 1), chestnut (Cas s 1) and others ( Grilo et al, 2021 ) as well as with Bet v 1-like proteins from nuts, fruits and vegetables, particularly, with the peanut Ara h 8 apple Mal d 1 ( Vanekkrebitz et al, 1995 ; Bohle et al, 2003 ), carrot Dau c 1 ( Zulehner et al, 2017 ), causing oral allergy syndrome (OAS) ( Costa et al, 2022 ) in 70% of birch allergic patients ( Högerle et al, 2022 ). Symptoms of OAS usually appear immediately after plant food consumption and mainly affect oropharyngeal area, but such severe reactions as anaphylaxis also may take place ( Högerle et al, 2022 ).…”

“…The cross-blocking bioactivity of these antibodies was highly variable and could not be predicted from protein homology or IgE cross-reactivity. Thus, immunotherapy with the reference allergen Bet v1 induces an individual repertoire of cross-reactive antibodies IgG1 and IgG4 ( Grilo et al, 2021 ).…”

Plant pollen is one of the main sources of allergens causing allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis and asthma. Several allergens in plant pollen are panallergens which are also present in other allergen sources. As a result, sensitized individuals may also experience food allergies. The mechanism of sensitization and development of allergic inflammation is a consequence of the interaction of allergens with a large number of molecular factors that often are acting in a complex with other compounds, for example low-molecular-mass ligands, which contribute to the induction a type 2-driven response of immune system. In this review, special attention is paid not only to properties of allergens but also to an important role of their interaction with lipids and other hydrophobic molecules in pollen sensitization. The reactions of epithelial cells lining the nasal and bronchial mucosa and of other immunocompetent cells will also be considered, in particular the mechanisms of the activation of B and T lymphocytes and the formation of allergen-specific antibody responses.
