An aphylactoid R eactions D uring D esensitization : Two patients undergoing desensitizing treatment with hymenoptera venom while receiving ACE inhibitors sustained life-threatening anaphylactoid reactions. In the same patients, these reactions were avoided when ACE inhibitors were temporarily withheld, but...

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the allergen is selected from the group consisting of pollen, weed, bee venom, insect venom, penicillin, food allergy, animal detritus, mold, a fungal allergen, and any combination thereof. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the allergen is tree poll...
Exendin 4 is a biologically active peptide first isolated from Gila monster venom. The invention encompasses polynucleotides encoding proexendin peptides, including exendin and novel peptides, as well
Alternatively, an allergen may be contained within or derived from a non-food item such as, e.g., dust (e.g., containing dust mite), pollen, insect venom (e.g., venom of bees, wasps, mosquitoes, etc.), mold, animal dander, latex, medication, drugs, ragweed, grass and birch....
The SOD preparations of this invention are typically the mammalian copper- and zinc-containing superoxide dismutase forms of the enzyme derived from bovine, other animal (e.g., sheep, horse, pig, dog, rabbit, chicken) or human cells. Also available are SOD preparations containing other metal io...

A novel class of peptides selectively block class E voltage-gated calcium channels. The class is exemplified by HG peptides such as HG-1, which is isolated from the venom-producing cells of the tarant
Allergic subjects produce mRNA specific for IFNγ following challenge with Vespula venom (Bonay, et al., 1997, Clin Exp Immunol. 109, 342). The expression of a number of cytokines, including IFNγ has been shown to increase following a delayed type hypersensitivity reaction thus indicating a ...
